We present a direct and fairly simple proof of the following incidence bound: Let $P$ be a set of $m$ points and $L$ a set of $n$ lines in ${\mathbb R}^d$, for $d\ge 3$, which lie in a common algebraic two-dimensional surface of degree $D$…
It is proved that the projection constants of two- and three-dimensional spaces are bounded by $4/3$ and $(1+\sqrt 5)/2$, respectively. These bounds are attained precisely by the spaces whose unit balls are the regular hexagon and…
We show that the number of lines in an $m$--homogeneous supersolvable line arrangement is upper bounded by $3m-3$ and we classify the $m$--homogeneous supersolvable line arrangements with two modular points up-to lattice-isotopy. A lower…
This thesis establishes new quantitative records in several problems of incidence geometry and growth. After the necessary background in Chapters 1, 2 and 3, the following results are proven. Chapter 4 gives new results in the incidence…
We first describe a reduction from the problem of lower-bounding the number of distinct distances determined by a set $S$ of $s$ points in the plane to an incidence problem between points and a certain class of helices (or parabolas) in…
We implement methods from the geometry of numbers to give explicit estimates for the number of integral ideals in a number field. We pay particular attention to minimising the effect of the degree $n$ of the number field on the error term…
We consider problems involving rich homotheties in a set S of n points in the plane (that is, homotheties that map many points of S to other points of S). By reducing these problems to incidence problems involving points and lines in R^3,…
We introduce a class of 3d theories consisting of strongly-coupled ${\mathcal N}=4$ systems coupled to ${\mathcal N}=3$ Chern-Simons gauge multiplets, which exhibit ${\mathcal N}=4$ enhancements when a peculiar condition on the Chern-Simons…
We prove that a nonsymmetric normal entry pattern of order $n$ ($n\ge 3$) has at most $n(n-3)/2+3$ distinct indeterminates and up to permutation similarity this number is attained by a unique pattern which is explicitly described.
We present and study approximate notions of dimensional and margin complexity, which correspond to the minimal dimension or norm of an embedding required to approximate, rather then exactly represent, a given hypothesis class. We show that…
We prove new general results on sumsets of sets having Szemer\'edi--Trotter type. This family includes convex sets, sets with small multiplicative doubling, images of sets under convex/concave maps and others.
Recently, generalizations of the classical Three Gap Theorem to higher dimensions attracted a lot of attention. In particular, upper bounds for the number of nearest neighbor distances have been established for the Euclidean and the maximum…
We classify tensors with maximal and next to maximal dimensional symmetry groups under a natural genericity assumption (1-genericity), in dimensions greater than 7. In other words, we classify minimal dimensional orbits in the space of…
An integer $n$ is said to be ternary if it is composed of three distinct odd primes. In this paper, we asymptotically count the number of ternary integers $n \leq x$ with the constituent primes satisfying various constraints. We apply our…
A finite set of real numbers is called convex if the differences between consecutive elements form a strictly increasing sequence. We show that, for any pair of convex sets $A, B\subset\mathbb R$, each of size $n^{1/2}$, the convex grid…
New type III and type N approximate solutions which are regular in the linear approximation are shown to exist. For that, we use complex transformations on self-dual Robinson-Trautman metrics rather then the classical approach. The…
We consider the problem of building an arbitrary $N\times N$ real orthogonal operator using a finite set, $S$, of elementary quantum optics gates operating on $m\leq N$ modes - the problem of universality of $S$ on $N$ modes. In particular,…
This paper discusses Tverberg-type theorems with coordinate constraints (i.e., versions of these theorems where all points lie within a subset $S \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and the intersection of convex hulls is required to have a non-empty…
We provide explicit bounds for the number of integral ideals of norms at most $X$ is $\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{d}]$ when $d <0$ is a fundamendal discriminant with an error term of size $O(X^{1/3})$. In particular, we prove that, when $\chi$ is the…
By considering an empirical approximation, and a new class of operators that we will call walking operators, we construct, for any positive ND-toeplitz matrix, an infinite in all dimensions matrix, for which the inverse approximates the…
