One of the primary means of determining the spin of an astrophysical black hole is by actually measuring the inner radius of a surrounding accretion disk and using that to infer the spin. By comparing a number of different estimates of the…

We quantify the mean asymmetry of 54 face-on, early type disk galaxies (S0 to Sab) using the amplitude of the m=1 azimuthal Fourier component of the R-band surface brightness. We find that the median lopsidedness, (A_1/A_0)_{mean}, of our…

We study a lattice point counting problem for a class of families of domains in a Euclidean space. This class consists of anisotropically expanding bounded domains, which remain unchanged along some fixed linear subspace and expand in…

In a flat 2-torus with a disk of diameter $r$ removed, let $\Phi_r(t)$ be the distribution of free-path lengths (the probability that a segment of length larger than $t$ with uniformly distributed origin and direction does not meet the…

The spherical cap discrepancy is a prominent measure of uniformity for sets on the d-dimensional sphere. It is particularly important for estimating the integration error for certain classes of functions on the sphere. Building on a…

Lattice rounding in Euclidean space can be viewed as finding the nearest point in the orbit of an action by a discrete group, relative to the norm inherited from the ambient space. Using this point of view, we initiate the study of…

The spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian on conical layers is analysed through two aspects: the infiniteness of the discrete eigenvalues and their expansions in the small aperture limit. On the one hand, we prove that, for any aperture, the…

In this paper we prove asymptotic upper bounds on the variance of the number of vertices and missed area of inscribed random disc-polygons in smooth convex discs whose boundary is $C^2_+$. We also consider a circumscribed variant of this…

Designing the shape of silicon nanoparticles has been shown to be an effective approach to increasing overlap between electric and magnetic dipole resonances thereby achieving directional scattering and decrease of reflection. Variations of…

We study the hexagonal lattice $\mathbb{Z}[\omega]$, where $\omega^6=1$. More specifically, we study the angular distribution of hexagonal lattice points on circles with a fixed radius. We prove that the angles are equidistributed on…

Models of accretion discs and their associated outflows often incorporate assumptions of axisymmetry and symmetry across the disc plane. However, for turbulent discs these symmetries only apply to averaged quantities and do not apply…

We consider the radial and Heisenberg-homogeneous norms on the Heisenberg groups given by $N_{\alpha,A}((z,t)) = \left(|z|^\alpha + A |t|^{\alpha/2}\right)^{1/\alpha}$, for $\alpha \ge 2$ and $A>0$. This natural family includes the…

We apply some of the ideas of the Ph.D. Thesis of G. A. Margulis to Teichmuller space. Let x be a point in Teichmuller space, and let B_R(x) be the ball of radius R centered at x (with distances measured in the Teichmuller metric). We…

Let Q(u,v) be a positive definite binary quadratic form with arbitrary real coefficients. For large real x, one may ask for the number B(x) of primitive lattice points (integer points (m,n) with gcd(m,n) = 1) in the ellipse disc Q(u,v) < x,…

The Erd\H{o}s distance problem concerns the least number of distinct distances that can be determined by $N$ points in the plane. The integer lattice with $N$ points is known as \textit{near-optimal}, as it spans $\Theta(N/\sqrt{\log(N)})$…

We discuss a number of old and new methods for computing $K\to\pi\pi$ amplitudes on the lattice. They all involve a non-perturbative determination of matching coefficients. We show how problems related to operator mixing can be greatly…

For two convex discs $K$ and $L$, we say that $K$ is $L$-convex if it is equal to the intersection of all translates of $L$ that contain $K$. In $L$-convexity the set $L$ plays a similar role as closed half-spaces do in the classical notion…

Let $E(x;\omega)$ be the error term for the number of integer lattice points lying inside a $3$-dimensional Cygan-Kor\'anyi spherical shell of inner radius $x$ and gap width $\omega(x)>0$. Assuming that $\omega(x)\to0$ as $x\to\infty$, and…

A well known result by Lagarias and Ziegler states that there are finitely many equivalence classes of d-dimensional lattice polytopes having volume at most K, for fixed constants d and K. We describe an algorithm for the complete…

Surface area and mean width of a cylinder (the convex hull of two parallel disks) in R^3 are computed. It is more difficult to obtain analogous results for a cone (the convex hull of a disk D and a point p). Oblique formulas for mean width,…
