In this paper, we find that the integrated form $d_F$ of a complex Finsler metric $F$ is inner. The distance $d_F$ is complete if and only if every closed bounded subset of a complex manifold $M$ is compact. We prove a version of theorem…
In this paper we study the following variant of the Falconer distance problem. Let $E$ be a compact subset of ${\mathbb{R}}^d$, $d \ge 1$, and define $$ \Box(E)=\left\{\sqrt{{|x-y|}^2+{|x-z|}^2}: x,y,z \in E,\, y\neq z \right\}.$$ We shall…
We introduce the class of compactly H\"older mappings between metric spaces and determine the extent to which they distort the Minkowski dimension of a given set. These mappings are defined purely with metric notions and can be seen as a…
In this note we connect Sobolev estimates in the context of polynomial averages e.g. \[ \| \int_0^1 \prod_{k=1}^m f_k(x-t^k) \|_{1} \leq \text{Const} \cdot 2^{-\text{const} \cdot l} \prod_{i=1}^m \| f_k \|_m \] whenever some $f_i$ vanishes…
We prove that if ${\mathcal E} \subset {\Bbb R}^{2d}$, $d \ge 2$, is an Ahlfors-David regular product set of sufficiently large Hausdorff dimension, denoted by $dim_{{\mathcal H}}({\mathcal E})$, and $\phi$ is a sufficiently regular…
A Kakeya set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is a compact set that contains a unit line segment $I_e$ in each direction $e \in S^{n-1}$. The Kakeya conjecture states that any Kakeya set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ has Hausdorff dimension $n$. We consider a…
A finite set of distinct vectors $\mathcal{X}$ in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ is called an $s$-distance set if the set of mutual distances between distinct elements of $\mathcal{X}$ has cardinality $s$. In this paper…
We prove that if the Hausdorff dimension of a compact set $E \subset {\Bbb R}^2$ is greater than 7/4, then the set of {\ag three-point configurations determined by $E$ has positive three-dimensional measure}. We establish this by showing…
We study the Hausdorff dimension of self-similar sets and measures on the line. We show that if the dimension is smaller than the minimum of 1 and the similarity dimension, then at small scales there are super-exponentially close cylinders.…
Erd\H{o}s asked whether every $n$-point set in Euclidean space whose $\binom{n}{2}$ pairwise distances are mutually at least $1$ apart must have diameter at least $(1+o(1))n^2$. We disprove this statement by constructing for every prime…
We first prove a version of Tietze-Urysohn's theorem for proper functions taking values in non-negative real numbers defined on $\sigma$-compact locally compact Hausdorff spaces. As its application, we prove an extension theorem of proper…
Given an integer nonsingular $n\times n$ matrix $M$ and a point $y \in \mathbb{R}^n/\mathbb{Z}^n$, consider the set $\tilde E(M,y)$ of vectors $x\in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $y$ is not a limit point of the sequence $\{M^k x \mod…
We provide a simple proof that in any homogeneous, compact metric space of diameter $D$, if one finds the average distance $A$ achieved in $X$ with respect to some isometry invariant Borel probability measure, then $$\frac{D}{2} \leq A \leq…
We establish Euclidean-type lower bounds for the codimension-1 Hausdorff measure of sets that separate points in doubling and linearly locally contractible metric manifolds. This gives a quantitative topological isoperimetric inequality in…
I prove that the visible parts of a compact set in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, $n \geq 2$, have Hausdorff dimension at most $n - \tfrac{1}{50n}$ from almost every direction.
The lens depth of a point has been recently extended to general metric spaces, which is not the case for most depths. It is defined as the probability of being included in the intersection of two random balls centred at two random points X…
We generalize the Arzel\`a-Ascoli theorem in the space of continuous maps on a compact interval with values in Euclidean N-space by providing a quantitative link between the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness in this space and a natural…
We consider sequences of metrics, $g_j$, on a Riemannian manifold, $M$, which converge smoothly on compact sets away from a singular set $S\subset M$, to a metric, $g_\infty$, on $M\setminus S$. We prove theorems which describe when…
In this article, we study two problems concerning the size of the set of finite point configurations generated by a compact set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$. The first problem concerns how the Lebesgue measure or the Hausdorff dimension of the…
In 1960, Gr\"{u}nbaum proved that for any convex body $C\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ and every halfspace $H$ containing the centroid of $C$, one has that the volume of $H\cap C$ is at least a $\frac{1}{e}$-fraction of the volume of $C$. Recently,…
