Let $\gamma(t)=(P_1(t),\ldots,P_n(t))$ where $P_i$ is a real polynomial with zero constant term for each $1\leq i\leq n$. We will show the existence of the configuration $\{x,x+\gamma(t)\}$ in sets of positive density $\epsilon$ in…

Given a Zariski-dense, discrete group, $\Gamma$, of isometries acting on $(n + 1)$-dimensional hyperbolic space, we use spectral methods to obtain a sharp asymptotic formula for the growth rate of certain $\Gamma$-orbits. In particular,…

The main result of this paper is an effective count for Apollonian circle packings that are either bounded or contain two parallel lines. We obtain this by proving an effective equidistribution of closed horospheres in the unit tangent…

While lattices in semi-simple Lie groups are studied very well, only little is known about discrete subgroups of infinite covolume. The main class of examples are Schottky groups. Here we investigate some new examples. We consider subgroups…

The main results in this thesis deal with the representation growth of certain classes of groups. In chapter $1$ we present the required preliminary theory. In chapter $2$ we introduce the Congruence Subgroup Problem for an algebraic group…

Efficiently sampling from the P\'olya-Gamma distribution, ${PG}(b,z)$, is an essential element of P\'olya-Gamma data augmentation. Polson et. al (2013) show how to efficiently sample from the ${PG}(1,z)$ distribution. We build two new…

We introduce the bisector energy of an $n$-point set $P$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$, defined as the number of quadruples $(a,b,c,d)$ from $P$ such that $a$ and $b$ determine the same perpendicular bisector as $c$ and $d$. If no line or circle…

In this paper we study the integral properties of Apollonian-3 circle packings, which are variants of the standard Apollonian circle packings. Specifically, we study the reduction theory, formulate a local-global conjecture, and prove a…

Let G=ASL(2,R) be the affine special linear group of the plane, and set Gamma=ASL(2,Z). Building on recent work of Str\"ombergsson we prove a rate of equidistribution for the orbits of a certain 1-dimensional unipotent flow of Gamma\G,…

We consider two seemingly unconnected problems: first, under what circumstances are arithmetic groups like SL(2,O) generated by elementary matrices; second, when do certain classes of circle/sphere packings fill up space? We show that these…

We present the 2-point function from Fast and Accurate Spherical Bessel Transformation (2-FAST) algorithm for a fast and accurate computation of integrals involving one or two spherical Bessel functions. These types of integrals occur when…

Let $G=$SL$(2,R)\ltimes(R^2)^{\oplus k}$ and let $\Gamma$ be a congruence subgroup of SL$(2,Z)\ltimes(Z^2)^{\oplus k}$. We prove a polynomially effective asymptotic equidistribution result for special types of unipotent orbits in…

Let G:=SO(n,1)^\circ and \Gamma be a geometrically finite Zariski dense subgroup with critical exponent delta bigger than (n-1)/2. Under a spectral gap hypothesis on L^2(\Gamma \ G), which is always satisfied for delta>(n-1)/2 for n=2,3 and…

The bispectrum is the leading non-Gaussian statistic in Large-Scale Structure (LSS) clustering and encodes the interactions in the underlying field. It is thus an important diagnostic for primordial non-Gaussianity and higher order galaxy…

In this article, we consider the Euclidean dispersion problems. Let $P=\{p_{1}, p_{2}, \ldots, p_{n}\}$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^2$. For each point $p \in P$ and $S \subseteq P$, we define $cost_{\gamma}(p,S)$ as the sum of…

We prove a counting theorem concerning the number of lattice points for the dual lattices of weakly admissible lattices in an inhomogeneously expanding box, which generalises a counting theorem of Skriganov. The error term is expressed in…
