Hardy conjectured that the error term arising from approximating the number of lattice points lying in a radius-$R$ disc by its area is $O(R^{1/2+o(1)})$. One source of support for this conjecture is a folklore heuristic that uses i.i.d.…
We study the entropy of a set of identical hard objects, of general shape, with each object pivoted on the vertices of a d-dimensional regular lattice of lattice spacing a, but can have arbitrary orientations. When the pivoting point is…
This paper is an initial stage of consideration of the general problem of joint modeling of the vertical structure of a Galactic flat subsystem and the average surface of the disk of the Galaxy, taking into account the natural and…
This paper is inspired by Richards' work on large gaps between sums of two squares [10]. It is shown in [10] that there exist arbitrarily large values of $\lambda$ and $\mu$, where $\mu \geq C \log \lambda$, such that intervals $[\lambda,…
It is proved that the minimal Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplacian in an annulus is a monotonically decreasing function of the displacement of the center of the smaller disc. The maximal value of the minimal eigenvalue is attained when the…
We introduce maximal and average coherence on lattices by analogy with these notions on frames in Euclidean spaces. Lattices with low coherence can be of interest in signal processing, whereas lattices with high orthogonality defect are of…
The disks of spiral galaxies are generally elliptical rather than circular. The distribution of ellipticities can be fit with a log-normal distribution. For a sample of 12,764 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 1 (SDSS…
We establish an asymptotic formula, uniformly down to the Planck scale, for the number of small gaps between the first N eigenvalues of the Laplacian on almost all flat tori and also on almost all rectangular flat tori.
We show that, if the interior of a lattice d-polytope P contains at least one lattice point, then it contains a lattice point whose coefficient of asymmetry with respect to P is at most b for some number b depending on d only. As an…
Let $\mathcal A$ be a star-shaped polygon in the plane, with rational vertices, containing the origin. The number of primitive lattice points in the dilate $t\mathcal A$ is asymptotically $\frac6{\pi^2}$ Area$(t\mathcal A)$ as $t\to…
We give asymptotic estimates of the variance of the number of integer points in translated thin annuli in any dimension.
Given a natural number $n\geq3$ and two points $a$ and $b$ in the unit disk $\mathbb D$ in the complex plane, it is known that there exists a unique elliptical disk having $a$ and $b$ as foci that can also be realized as the intersection of…
The hyperbolic lattice point problem asks to estimate the size of the orbit $\Gamma z$ inside a hyperbolic disk of radius $\cosh^{-1}(X/2)$ for $\Gamma$ a discrete subgroup of $\hbox{PSL}_2(R)$. Selberg proved the estimate $O(X^{2/3})$ for…
The Gauss circle problem asks for an approximation to the number of lattice points of $\mathbb{Z}^2$ contained in $B_r$, the disk of radius $r$ centered at the origin. Upper, lower, and average bounds have been established for this…
In [SWW16, HW17] it is shown that the difference of the first two eigenvalues of the Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary condition on convex domain with diameter $D$ of sphere $\mathbb S^n$ is $\geq 3 \frac{\pi^2}{D^2}$ when $n \geq 3$. We…
We give mean square bounds for the remainder in the lattice point counting problem, counting the number of lattice points in a large ball in $\mathbb{R}^d$, when averaged over families of shears of the lattice.
The Gauss Circle Problem concerns finding asymptotics for the number of lattice point lying inside a circle in terms of the radius of the circle. The heuristic that the number of points is very nearly the area of the circle is surprisingly…
We study the spatial distribution of point sets on the sphere obtained from the representation of a large integer as a sum of three integer squares. We examine several statistics of these point sets, such as the electrostatic potential,…
We show the existence of a limiting distribution $\cD_\cC$ of the adequately normalized discrepancy function of a random translation on a torus relative to a strictly convex set $\cC$. Using a correspondence between the small divisors in…
We study the volume of nodal sets for eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the standard torus in two or more dimensions. We consider a sequence of eigenvalues $4\pi^2\eigenvalue$ with growing multiplicity $\Ndim\to\infty$, and compute the…
