We say that a planar set $A$ has the Kakeya property if there exist two different positions of $A$ such that $A$ can be continuously moved from the first position to the second within a set of arbitrarily small area. We prove that if $A$ is…

We prove the existence of topological rings in (0,2) theories containing non-anomalous left-moving U(1) currents by which they may be twisted. While the twisted models are not topological, their ground operators form a ring under…

Kakeya sets are compact subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ that contain a unit line segment pointing in every direction. The Kakeya conjecture states that such sets must have Hausdorff dimension $n$. The property of stickiness was first discovered…

If a compact set K \subset R^2 contains a positive-dimensional family of line-segments in positively many directions, then K has positive measure.

Let $F$ be a finite field with characteristic greater than two. Define a \emph{Besicovitch set} in $F^4$ to be a set $P \subseteq F^4$ containing a line in every direction. The \emph{Kakeya conjecture} asserts that $|P| \approx |F|^4$. A…

Tukey order are used to compare the cofinal complexity of partially order sets (posets). We prove that there is a $2^\mathfrak{c}$-sized collection of sub-posets in $2^\omega$ which forms an antichain in the sense of Tukey ordering. Using…

Let $f:\mathbb{P}^1\to\mathbb{P}^1$ be a rational map of degree $d\geq2$ defined over a number field $K$ and let $\alpha\in\mathbb{P}^1(K)$. We consider the lower and upper Minkowski dimensions of the arboreal Galois group $G_{f,\alpha}$…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed non-Archimedean field. Leonard Lipshitz has introduced a manageable notion of subanalytic sets of the unit polydisc. This class contains the class of affinoid sets and is stable under projection. We…

In a recent paper, Chan, \L aba, and Pramanik investigated geometric configurations inside thin subsets of the Euclidean set possessing measures with Fourier decay properties. In this paper we ask which configurations can be found inside…

We prove the Volume Conjecture for the relative Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants proposed in [29] for all pairs (M,K) such that M\K is homeomorphic to the complement of the figure-8 knot in S^3 with almost all possible cone angles.

In this paper we show that a large class of one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local rings $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ has the property that if $M$ is a maximal Cohen-Macaulay $A$-module then the Hilbert function of $M$ ( with respect to $\mathfrak{m}$)…

We prove the existence of an Abelian variety $A$ of dimension $g$ over $\Qa$ which is not isogenous to any Jacobian, subject to the necessary condition $g>3$. Recently, C.Chai and F.Oort gave such a proof assuming the Andr\'e-Oort…

We classify the possible shapes of minimal free resolutions over a regular local ring. This illustrates the existence of free resolutions whose Betti numbers behave in surprisingly pathological ways. We also give an asymptotic…

In this paper it is proved that near a compact, invariant, proper subset of a continuous flow on a compact, connected metric space, at least one, out of twenty eight relevant dynamical phenomena, will necessarily occur. This result shows…

Katz and Zahl used a planebrush argument to prove that Kakeya sets in $\mathbb{R}^4$ have Hausdorff dimension at least 3.059. In the special case when the Kakeya set is plany, their argument gives a better lower bound of 10/3. We give a…

We solve the Kakeya needle problem and construct a Besicovitch and a Nikodym set for rectifiable sets.

We construct the first examples of rational functions defined over a non-archimedean field with certain dynamical properties. In particular, we find such functions whose Julia sets, in the Berkovich projective line, are connected but not…

In this paper, we show that circular $(s,t)$-Furstenberg sets in $\mathbb R^2$ have Hausdorff dimension at least $$\max\{\frac{t}3+s,(2t+1)s-t\} \text{ for all $0<s,t\le 1$}.$$ This result extends the previous dimension estimates on…

We establish a non-Archimedean analogue of Koksma's theorem. For a local field F of characteristic zero, we prove that the sequence ([{\alpha}x^n]) is uniformly distributed in the valuation ring O for almost every x with |x|_p>1. In the…

Let $F$ be a field. Following the resolution of Milnor's conjecture relating the graded Witt ring of $F$ to its mod-2 Milnor $K$-theory, a major problem in the theory of symmetric bilinear forms is to understand, for any positive integer…
