We address Nash problem for surface singularities using wedges. We give a refinement of the characterisation of A. Reguera of the image of the Nash map in terms of wedges. Our improvement consists in a characterisation of the bijectivity of…
We briefly introduce several problems: (1) a generalization of the convex fair partition conjecture, (2) on non-trivial invariants among polyhedrons that can be formed from the same set of face polygons, (3) two questions on assembling…
We prove two generalizations of the Cheeger's inequality. The first generalization relates the second eigenvalue to the edge expansion and the vertex expansion of the graph G, $\lambda_2 = \Omega(\phi^V(G) \phi(G))$, where $\phi^V(G)$…
Moser asked whether the collection of rectangles of dimensions 1 x 1/2, 1/2 x 1/3, 1/3 x 1/4, ..., whose total area equals 1, can be packed into the unit square without overlap, and whether the collection of squares of side lengths 1/2,…
We study the properties of certain graphs involving the sums of primes. Their structure largely turns out to relate to the distribution of prime gaps and can be roughly seen in Cram\'er's model as well. We also discuss generalizations to…
We develop a technique using dual mixed-volumes to study the isotropic constants of some classes of spaces. In particular, we recover, strengthen and generalize results of Ball and Junge concerning the isotropic constants of subspaces and…
We revisit the classic Wigner semi-circle from two different angles. One consists in studying the Stieltjes transform directly on the real axis, which does not converge to a fixed value but follows a Cauchy distribution that depends on the…
We consider two well-known problems: upper bounding the volume of lower dimensional ellipsoids contained in convex bodies given their John ellipsoid, and lower bounding the volume of ellipsoids containing projections of convex bodies given…
Convex geometries are closure systems satisfying the anti-exchange axiom. Every finite convex geometry can be embedded into a convex geometry of finitely many points in an n-dimensional space equipped with a convex hull operator, by the…
The isodiametric inequality states that the Euclidean ball maximizes the volume among all convex bodies of a given diameter. We are motivated by a conjecture of Makai Jr.~on the reverse question: Every convex body has a linear image whose…
The structure of flexible polymers endgrafted in cylindrical pores of diameter D is studied as a function of chain length N and grafting density \sigma, assuming good solvent conditions. A phenomenological scaling theory, describing the…
W. Schmidt, H. Montgomery, and J. Beck proved a result on irregularities of distribution with respect to $d$-dimensional balls. In this paper, we extend their result to any $d$-dimensional convex body with a smooth boundary and finite order…
Recently, hypergraphs have attracted a lot of attention due to their ability to capture complex relations among entities. The insurgence of hypergraphs has resulted in data of increasing size and complexity that exhibit interesting…
This Thesis aims to highlight some isoperimetric questions involving the, so-called, $N$-clusters. We first briefly recall the theoretical framework we are adopting. This is done in Chapter one. In chapter two we focus on the standard…
A generalization of a distribution increases the flexibility particularly in studying of a phenomenon and its properties. Many generalizations of continuous univariate distributions are available in literature. In this study, an…
The analysis of networks, aimed at suitably defined functionality, often focuses on partitions into subnetworks that capture desired features. Chief among the relevant concepts is a 2-partition, that underlies the classical Cheeger…
We study an isoperimetric problem described by a functional that consists of the standard Gaussian perimeter and the norm of the barycenter. This second term has a repulsive effect, and it is in competition with the perimeter. Because of…
We demonstrate the necessity of a Poincar\'e type inequality for those metric measure spaces that satisfy Cheeger's generalization of Rademacher's theorem for all Lipschitz functions taking values in a Banach space with the Radon-Nikodym…
We study a notion of curvature for finitely generated groups which serves as a role of Ricci curvature for Riemannian manifolds. We prove an analog of Cheeger-Gromoll splitting theorem. As a consequence, we give a geometric characterization…
We study a general version of the Cheeger inequality by considering the shape functional $\mathcal{F}_{p,q}(\Omega)=\lambda_p^{1/p}(\Omega)/\lambda_q(\Omega)^{1/q}$. The infimum and the supremum of $\mathcal{F}_{p,q}$ are studied in the…
