For a given convex body K in $R^d$, a random polytope $K^{(n)}$ is defined (essentially) as the intersection of $n$ independent closed halfspaces containing $K$ and having an isotropic and (in a specified sense) uniform distribution. We…
The Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension of a set K in R^n is the maximal dimension of the coordinate cube of a given size, which can be found in coordinate projections of K. We show that the VC dimension of a convex body governs its entropy. This…
Let $\mathbf{D}=(D_{n})_{n\geq 1}$ be an elliptic divisibility sequence associated to the pair $(E,P)$. For a fixed integer $k$, we define $\mathscr{A}_{E,k}=\{n\geq 1 : \gcd(n,D_{n})=k\}$. We give an explicit structural description of…
We give two characterizations of cones over ellipsoids. Let $C$ be a closed pointed convex linear cone in a finite-dimensional real vector space. We show that $C$ is a cone over an ellipsoid if and only if the affine span of $\partial C…
A theorem of Meyer and Reisner characterizes ellipsoids by the collinearity of centroids of parallel sections: if $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ is a convex body such that for every $n$-dimensional subspace $M\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ the…
For two not necessarily commutative topological groups G and T, let H(G,T) denote the space of all continuous homomorphisms from G to T with the compact-open topology. We prove that if G is metrizable and T is compact then H(G,T) is a…
In the present paper, we study a set that can be treated as a generalised set of subsums for a geometric series. This object was discovered independently in various mathematical aspects. For instance, it is closely related to various…
We obtain new upper bounds on the minimal density of lattice coverings of Euclidean space by dilates of a convex body K. We also obtain bounds on the probability (with respect to the natural Haar-Siegel measure on the space of lattices)…
We study some variants of the Erd\H{o}s similarity problem. We pose the question if every measurable subset of the real line with positive measure contains a similar copy of an infinite geometric progression. We construct a compact subset…
Let $P$ be a (non necessarily convex) embedded polyhedron in $\R^3$, with its vertices on an ellipsoid. Suppose that the interior of $P$ can be decomposed into convex polytopes without adding any vertex. Then $P$ is infinitesimally rigid.…
In this manuscript, we study the inequalities between measures of convex bodies implied by comparison of their projections and sections. Recently, Giannopoulos and Koldobsky proved that if convex bodies $K, L$ satisfy $|K|\theta^{\perp}|…
The Lagrangian density of an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is $r!$ multiplying the supremum of the Lagrangians of all $H$-free $r$-uniform hypergraphs. For an $r$-uniform graph $H$ with $t$ vertices, it is clear that $\pi_{\lambda}(H)\ge…
Given $2\le k\le n$, the minimal $(n-1)$-dimensional Gaussian measure of the union of the boundaries of $k$ disjoint sets of equal Gaussian measure in $\R^n$ whose union is $\R^n$ is of order $\sqrt{\log k}$. A similar results holds also…
We tackle the problem of high-dimensional nonparametric density estimation by taking the class of log-concave densities on $\mathbb{R}^p$ and incorporating within it symmetry assumptions, which facilitate scalable estimation algorithms and…
Let P=(p_1,p_2,...,p_N) be a sequence of points in the plane, where p_i=(x_i,y_i) and x_1<x_2<...<x_N. A famous 1935 Erdos--Szekeres theorem asserts that every such P contains a monotone subsequence S of $\sqrt N$ points. Another, equally…
Let $X$ be a K3 surface defined over a number field $K$. Assume that $X$ admits a structure of an elliptic fibration or an infinite group of automorphisms. Then there exists a finite extension $K'/K$ such that the set of $K'$-rational…
We fuse between the Rogers-Shephard inequality for the Lebesgue measure and Royen's Gaussian Correlation Inequality, simultaneously extending both into a single sharp inequality for the Gaussian measure $\gamma$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$, stating…
Recall that a convex body $K$ is in John's position if the unit Euclidean ball is the maximal volume ellipsoid contained in $K$. Approximating convex body in John's position by polytopes we obtain the following results. 1. Let $n>R_n\ge 1$…
We consider a homogeneous fibration $G/L \to G/K$, with symmetric fiber and base, where $G$ is a compact connected semisimple Lie group and $L$ has maximal rank in $G$. We suppose the base space $G/K$ is isotropy irreducible and the fiber…
We give two characterizations of cones over ellipsoids in real normed vector spaces. Let $C$ be a closed convex cone with nonempty interior such that $C$ has a bounded section of codimension $1$. We show that $C$ is a cone over an ellipsoid…
