Small codimensional embedded manifolds defined byequations of small degree are Fano and covered by lines. They are complete intersections exactly when the variety of lines through a general point is so and has the right codimension. This…
The study of the geometry of $n$-uniform measures in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ has been an important question in many fields of analysis since Preiss' seminal proof of the rectifiability of measures with positive and finite density. The…
In this paper we study the spectrality of arc-length measures supported on the union of two line segments in the plane. We show that any such spectral measure must admit a line spectrum. Moreover, when the two segments are non-parallel,…
In this paper we investigate three unsolved conjectures in geometric combinatorics, namely Falconer's distance set conjecture, the dimension of Furstenburg sets, and Erdos's ring conjecture. We formulate natural $\delta$-discretized…
For a compact set $A$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ the Hausdorff distance from $A$ to $\text{conv}(A)$ is defined by \begin{equation*} d(A):=\sup_{a\in\text{conv}(A)}\inf_{x\in A}|x-a|, \end{equation*} where for $x=(x_1,\dots,x_n)\in\mathbb{R}^n$ we…
Robin Hartshorne and Alexander Hirschowitz proved that a generic collection of lines on $\mathbb P^n$, $n \geq 3$, has bipolynomial Hilbert Function. We extended this result to a specialization of the collection of generic lines, by…
We study the following two problems: (1) Given $n\ge 2$ and $\al$, how large Hausdorff dimension can a compact set $A\su\Rn$ have if $A$ does not contain three points that form an angle $\al$? (2) Given $\al$ and $\de$, how large Hausdorff…
Suppose that h in F[x,y,z], char F=2, defines a nodal cubic. In earlier papers we made a precise conjecture as to the Hilbert-Kunz functions attached to the powers of h. Assuming this conjecture we showed that a class of characteristic 2…
The Falconer conjecture asserts that if E is a planar set with Hausdorff dimension strictly greater than 1, then its Euclidean distance set has positive one-dimensional Lebesgue measure. We discuss the analogous question with the Euclidean…
Let $\{s_n\}$ and $\{t_n\}$ be two sequences of positive real numbers. Under some mild conditions on $\{s_n\}$ and $\{t_n\}$, we give the precise formula of the Hausdorff dimension of the set \[ \mathbb{E}(\{s_n\},\{t_n\}):=\Big\{x\in(0,1):…
Two digraphs of order $n$ are said to pack if they can be found as edge-disjoint subgraphs of the complete digraph of order $n$. It is well established that if the sum of the sizes of the two digraphs is at most $2n-2$, then they pack, with…
The frame set conjecture for B-splines $B_n$, $n \ge 2$, states that the frame set is the maximal set that avoids the known obstructions. We show that any hyperbola of the form $ab=r$, where $r$ is a rational number smaller than one and $a$…
The Debarre-de Jong conjecture predicts that the Fano variety of lines on a smooth Fano hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^n$ is always of the expected dimension. We generalize this conjecture to the case of Fano complete intersections and prove…
We compute the Hausdorff and Minkowski dimension of subsets of the symbolic space $\Sigma_m=\{0,...,m-1\}^\N$ that are invariant under multiplication by integers. The results apply to the sets $\{x\in \Sigma_m: \forall\, k, \ x_k x_{2k}...…
We prove partial regularity for minimizers to elasticity type energies in the nonlinear framework {with $p$-growth, $p>1$,} in dimension $n\geq 3$. It is an open problem in such a setting either to establish full regularity or to provide…
We show that self-conformal subsets of $\mathbb{R}$ that do not satisfy the weak separation condition have full Assouad dimension. Combining this with a recent results by K\"aenm\"aki and Rossi we conclude that an interesting dichotomy…
We begin a systematic study of the region of possible values of the volumes of Minkowski subset sums of a collection of $M$ compact sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$, which we call the Lyusternik region, and make some first steps towards describing…
In this paper, we study the Hausdorff dimension of self-similar measures and sets on the real line, where the generating iterated function system consists of some maps that share the same fixed point. In particular, we will show that out of…
J.-P. Roudneff conjectured in 1991 that every arrangement of $n \ge 2d+1\ge 5$ pseudohyperplanes in the real projective space $\mathbb{P}^d$ has at most $\sum_{i=0}^{d-2} \binom{n-1}{i}$ complete cells (i.e., cells bounded by each…
Hadwiger's covering conjecture is that every $n$-dimensional convex body can be covered by at most $2^n$ of its smaller positive homothetic copies, with $2^n$ copies required only for affine images of $n$-cube. Convex hull of a ball and an…
