In the present paper we sketch the proof of the fact that for any open connected set $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n\geq 1$, and any $E\subset \partial \Omega$ with $0<\mathcal{H}^n(E)<\infty$, absolute continuity of the harmonic…

It is well known that plane curves with the same endpoints are homotopic. An analogous claim for plane curves with the same endpoints and bounded curvature still remains open. In this work we find necessary and sufficient conditions for two…

In [EH89, Theorem 1] Ekeland-Hofer prove that for a centrally symmetric, restricted contact type hypersurface in R^{2n} and for any global, centrally symmetric Hamiltonian perturbation there exists a leaf-wise intersection point. In this…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective irreducible curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ and $K=\mathbb{F}_q(C)$. Let $A\subset K$ be the ring of functions regular outside a fixed place $\infty$ of $K$. Let…

Let $g$ be a dimension function. The Generalised Baker-Schmidt Problem (1970) concerns the $g$-dimensional Hausdorff measure ($\HH^g$-measure) of the set of $\Psi$-approximable points on nondegenerate manifolds. The problem relates the…

In the present paper we prove that for any open connected set $\Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^{n+1}$, $n\geq 1$, and any $E\subset \partial\Omega$ with $0<{\mathcal H}^n(E)<\infty$ absolute continuity of the harmonic measure $\omega$ with respect…

Following a combinatorial observation made by one of us recently in relation to a problem in quantum information [Nakata et al., Phys. Rev. X 7:021006 (2017)], we study what are the possible intersection cardinalities of a $k$-dimensional…

We investigate and quantify the distinction between rectifiable and purely unrectifiable 1-sets in the plane. That is, given that purely unrectifiable 1-sets always have null intersections with Lipschitz images, we ask whether these sets…

We prove that any geometrically connected curve $X$ over a field $k$ is an algebraic $K(\pi,1)$, as soon as its geometric irreducible components have nonzero genus. This means that the cohomology of any locally constant constructible…

This paper is related to the problem of finding a good notion of rectifiability in sub-Riemannian geometry. In particular, we study which kind of results can be expected for smooth hypersurfaces in Carnot groups. Our main contribution will…

Let $x \in [0,1)$ be an irrational number with continued fraction expansion $[a_1(x),a_2(x), \cdots,a_n(x),\cdots]$ and $q_n(x)$ be the denominator of its $n$-th convergent. We establish, for any $\alpha,\beta$ in $[0,+\infty]$, the…

We prove that a complete intersection of $c$ very general hypersurfaces of degree at least two in $N$-dimensional complex projective space is not ruled (and therefore not rational) provided that the sum of the degrees of the hypersurfaces…

Let K be a field and let L/K be a finite extension. Let X/K be a scheme of finite type. A point of X(L) is said to be new if it does not belong to the union of X(F), when F runs over all proper subextensions of L. Fix now an integer g>0 and…

The Reifenberg theorem \cite{reif_orig} tells us that if a set $S\subseteq B_2\subseteq \mathbb R^n$ is uniformly close on all points and scales to a $k$-dimensional subspace, then $S$ is H\"older homeomorphic to a $k$-dimensional Euclidean…

We study properties of rational curves on complete intersections in positive characteristic. It has long been known that in characteristic 0, smooth Calabi-Yau and general type varieties are not uniruled. In positive characteristic,…

We examine the dimensions of the intersection of a subset $E$ of an $m$-ary Cantor space $\mathcal{C}^m$ with the image of a subset $F$ under a random isometry with respect to a natural metric. We obtain almost sure upper bounds for the…

By a curve in R^d we mean a continuous map gamma:I -> R^d, where I is a closed interval. We call a curve gamma in R^d at most k crossing if it intersects every hyperplane at most k times (counted with multiplicity). The at most d crossing…

Let ${\cal K}^n$ be the set of all convex bodies in $\mathbb R^n$ endowed with the Hausdorff distance. We prove that if $K\in {\cal K}^n$ has positive generalized Gauss curvature at some point of its boundary, then $K$ is not a local…

A manifold is a space that locally looks like the smooth space $\mathbf{R}^{n}$. It is usually also assumed that the underlying topological space of a manifold is hausdorff. However, there are natural examples of manifolds for which the…

To any metric spaces there is an associated metric profile. The rectifiability of the metric profile gives a good notion of curvature of a sub-Riemannian space. We shall say that a curvature class is the rectifiability class of the metric…
