The classical Steinitz theorem asserts that if the origin lies within the interior of the convex hull of a set $S \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, then there are at most $2d$ points in $S$ whose convex hull contains the origin within its interior.…
The Riesz-Sobolev inequality provides an upper bound for a trilinear expression involving convolution of indicator functions of sets. It is known that equality holds only for homothetic ordered triples of appropriately situated ellipsoids.…
We study the dynamics of the focusing $3d$ cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation in the exterior of a strictly convex obstacle at the mass-energy threshold, namely, when $ E_{\Omega}[u_0] M_{\Omega}[u_0] = E_{\R^3}[Q] M_{\R^3}[Q] $ and $…
We study the d-dimensional random Ising model using a Bethe-Peierls approximation in the framework of the replica method. We take into account the correct interaction only inside replicated clusters of spins. Our ansatz is that the…
We study bounds on the Riesz means of the mixed Steklov-Neumann and Steklov-Dirichlet eigenvalue problem on a bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The Steklov-Neumann eigenvalue problem is also called the sloshing problem. We obtain…
We give an improvement of sharp Berezin type bounds on the Riesz means $\sum_k(\Lambda-\lambda_k)_+^\sigma$ of the eigenvalues $\lambda_k$ of the Dirichlet Laplacian in a domain if $\sigma\geq 3/2$. It contains a correction term of the…
Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. Assign to each $x\in S$ an arbitrary distance $r(x)>0$. Let $e_r(x,S)$ denote the number of points in $S$ at distance $r(x)$ from $x$. Avis, Erd\"os and Pach (1988)…
The Erd\H{o}s distinct distance problem is a ubiquitous problem in discrete geometry. Less well known is Erd\H{o}s' distinct angle problem, the problem of finding the minimum number of distinct angles between $n$ non-collinear points in the…
The hyperbolic center of mass of a finite measure on the unit ball with respect to a radially increasing weight is shown to exist, be unique, and depend continuously on the measure. Prior results of this type are extended by characterizing…
We consider the existence and uniqueness of a minimizer of the extremal problem for weighted combined energy between two concentric annuli and obtain that the extremal mapping is a certain radial mapping. Meanwhile, this in turn implies a…
We present a new proof (based on spectral decomposition) of a bound originally proved by Sidelnikov~\, for the frame potentials $\sum_{ij} \left( {\bf P}_i \cdot {\bf P}_j \right)^\ell $ on a unit--sphere in $d$ dimensions. Sidelnikov's…
In this paper, we derive the formula for the Casimir interaction energy between a sphere and a plate in $(D+1)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. It is assumed that the scalar field satisfies the Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions on…
The problem of boundary behaviour at the origin of coordinates is discussed for D-dimensional Schrodinger equation in the framework of hyper spherical formalism, which have been often considered last time. We show that the Dirichlet…
We identify universal polar dual pairs of spherical codes $C$ and $D$ such that for a large class of potential functions $h$ the minima of the discrete $h$-potential of $C$ on the sphere occur at the points of $D$ and vice versa. Moreover,…
The minimal spherical cap dispersion ${\rm disp}_{\mathcal{C}}(n,d)$ is the largest number $\varepsilon\in (0,1]$ such that, for every $n$ points on the $d$-dimensional Euclidean unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^d$, there exists a spherical cap with…
We consider three special and significant cases of the following problem. Let D be a (possibly unbounded) set of finite Lebesgue measure in R^d. Find conditions on D for which the standard exponential basis on the unit cube of R^d is a…
The maximum distance bound for ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECR) with energies above the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmich cutoff $\sim 10^{19} eV$ relaxes significantly if there is some mechanism that forces UHECR to propagate in discrete…
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of minimal $N$-point Riesz $s$-energy on fractal sets of non-integer dimension, with algebraically dependent contraction ratios. For $s$ bigger than the dimension of the set $A$, we prove the…
Mesoscopic particles immersed in a critical fluid experience long-range Casimir forces due to critical fluctuations. Using field theoretical methods, we investigate the Casimir interaction between two spherical particles and between a…
In this paper we obtain a new lower bound on the Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem in the plane over prime fields. More precisely, we show that for any set $A\subset \mathbb{F}_p^2$ with $|A|\le p^{7/6}$, the number of distinct distances…
