In 1989, Erd\H{o}s conjectured that for a sufficiently large $n$ it is impossible to place $n$ points in general position in a plane such that for every $1\le i \le n-1$ there is a distance that occurs exactly $i$ times. For small $n$ this…

We study density thresholds that force a measurable set $E\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$ to contain all sufficiently large similar copies of every $n$-point configuration. We prove a lower bound of the form $1-O((\log n)/n)$, which matches the…

Motivated by intuitions from projective algebraic geometry, we provide a novel construction of subsets of the $d$-dimensional grid $[n]^d$ of size $n - o(n)$ with no $d + 2$ points on a sphere or a hyperplane. For $d = 2$, this improves the…

$\newcommand{\Re}{\mathbb{R}}$We study the minWSPD problem of computing the minimum-size well-separated pairs decomposition of a set of points, and show constant approximation algorithms in low-dimensional Euclidean space and doubling…

We obtain new lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of distance sets and pinned distance sets of planar Borel sets of dimension slightly larger than $1$, improving recent estimates of Keleti and Shmerkin, and of Liu in this regime. In…

We show analytically that the $[0,1]$, $[1,1]$ and $[2,1]$ Pad{\'e} approximants of the mean cluster number $S(p)$ for site and bond percolation on general $d$-dimensional lattices are upper bounds on this quantity in any Euclidean…

A poset $\mathbf{P} = (X,\preceq)$ is {\em $m$-partite} if $X$ has a partition $X = X_1 \cup ... \cup X_m$ such that (1) each $X_i$ forms an antichain in $\mathbf{P}$, and (2) $x\prec y$ implies $x\in X_i$ and $y\in X_j$ where $i<j$. In…

We prove new bounds on the dimensions of distance sets and pinned distance sets of planar sets. Among other results, we show that if $A\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ is a Borel set of Hausdorff dimension $s>1$, then its distance set has Hausdorff…

We establish upper bounds for the size of two-distance sets in Euclidean space and spherical two-distance sets. The main recipe for obtaining upper bounds is the spectral method. We construct Seidel matrices to encode the distance relations…

Given a finite poset $\mathcal{P}$, a family $\mathcal{F}$ of elements in the Boolean lattice is induced-$\mathcal{P}$-saturated if $\mathcal{F}$ contains no copy of $\mathcal{P}$ as an induced subposet but every proper superset of…

We prove that the maximal dimension $d_N$ of an irreducible representation of the symmetric group $S_N$ satisfies $$d_N=\sqrt{N!} \, e^{-(\mathfrak{d}+o(1))\sqrt{N} }, \quad N\to \infty,$$ for some constant $\mathfrak{d}>0$. This answers a…

We establish new exponential in dimension lower bounds for the Maximum Halfspace Discrepancy problem, which models linear classification. Both are fundamental problems in computational geometry and machine learning in their exact and…

Kahn and Kim (J. Comput. Sci., 1995) have shown that for a finite poset $P$, the entropy of the incomparability graph of $P$ (normalized by multiplying by the order of $P$) and the base-$2$ logarithm of the number of linear extensions of…

We show that the Feng-Xiong lower bound of $1/2$ for the box dimension of $\alpha\beta$-sets is tight. We also study how much of an $\alpha\beta$-orbit ``carries the dimension'': deleting an arbitararily small positive density set of times…

The width of a poset is the size of its largest antichain. Sperner's theorem states that $(2^{[n]},\subset)$ is a poset whose width equals the size of its largest layer. We show that Hamming ball posets also have this property. This extends…

We study the sizes of delta-additive sets of unit vectors in a d-dimensional normed space: the sum of any two vectors has norm at most delta. One-additive sets originate in finding upper bounds of vertex degrees of Steiner Minimum Trees in…

Given an integer $d \geq 2$, $s \in (0,1]$, and $t \in [0,2(d-1)]$, suppose a set $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ has the following property: there is a collection of lines of packing dimension $t$ such that every line from the collection intersects…

A family of subsets $\mathcal{A}$ of an $n$-element set is called an $\ell$-Oddtown if the sizes of all sets are not divisible by $\ell$, but the sizes of pairwise intersections are divisible by $\ell$. Berlekamp and Graver showed that when…

We prove an almost constant lower bound of the isoperimetric coefficient in the KLS conjecture. The lower bound has the dimension dependency $d^{-o_d(1)}$. When the dimension is large enough, our lower bound is tighter than the previous…

Given a large finite point set, $P\subset \mathbb R^2$, we obtain upper bounds on the number of triples of points that determine a given pair of dot products. That is, for any pair of positive real numbers, $(\alpha, \beta)$, we bound the…
