The canonical dimension is an invariant attached to admissible representations of p-adic reductive groups, which has only received significant attention in the case of mod-p representations. In the case of complex representations, the…

Let $A \subset \mathbb{Z}^d$ be a finite set. It is known that $NA$ has a particular size ($\vert NA\vert = P_A(N)$ for some $P_A(X) \in \mathbb{Q}[X]$) and structure (all of the lattice points in a cone other than certain exceptional…

For $\delta>0$ sufficiently small and $A\subset \mathbb{Z}^k$ with $|A+A|\le (2^k+\delta)|A|$, we show either $A$ is covered by $m_k(\delta)$ parallel hyperplanes, or satisfies $|\widehat{\operatorname{co}}(A)\setminus A|\le c_k\delta |A|$,…

In this note we investigate the behavior of the volume that the convex hull of two congruent and intersecting simplices in Euclidean $n$-space can have. We prove some useful equalities and inequalities on this volume. For the regular…

In this article a class of closed convex sets in the Euclidean $n$-space which are the convex hull of their profiles is described. Thus a generalization of Krein-Milman theorem\cite{Lay:1982} to a class of closed non-compact convex sets is…

Let $A\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_p^2$ be a set of size $2p+1$ for prime $p\geq 5$. In this paper, we prove that $A\hat{+}A=\{a_1+a_2\mid a_1,a_2\in A, a_1\neq a_2\}$ has cardinality at least $4p$. This result is the first advancement in over two…

Let $h$ be a positive integer and $A, B_1, B_2,\dots, B_h$ be finite sets in a commutative group. We bound $|A+B_1+...+B_h|$ from above in terms of $|A|, |A+B_1|,\dots,|A+B_h|$ and $h$. Extremal examples, which demonstrate that the bound is…

We consider the conjecture by Aichholzer, Aurenhammer, Hurtado, and Krasser that any two points sets with the same cardinality and the same size convex hull can be triangulated in the "same" way, more precisely via \emph{compatible…

We study the lower bound for Koldobsky's slicing inequality. We show that there exists a measure $\mu$ and a symmetric convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, such that for all $\xi\in S^{n-1}$ and all $t\in \mathbb{R},$…

Let T be the unit circle in the complex plane C. This paper proves the existence of analytic structure in a compact subset K of T X C^n, where K has so-called "lineally convex" or "hypoconvex" fibers over T. It also addresses a related…

Steinitz's theorem states that if a point $a \in \mathrm{int\,conv\,} X$ for a set $X \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, then $X$ contains a subset $Y$ of size at most $2d$ such that $a \in \mathrm{int\,conv\,}Y$. The bound $2d$ is best possible here.…

We obtain an upper bound for the volume of the convex hull of a simple closed Frenet curve with exactly four vertices, i.e., four points of vanishing torsion, and lying on the boundary of its convex hull. Moreover, we show that the upper…

We show that a point set of cardinality $n$ in the plane cannot be the vertex set of more than $59^n O(n^{-6})$ straight-edge triangulations of its convex hull. This improves the previous upper bound of $276.75^n$.
