It is conjectured since long that for any convex body $K \in \mathbb{R}^n$ there exists a point in the interior of $K$ which belongs to at least $2n$ normals from different points on the boundary of $K$. The conjecture is known to be true…

Each real number $x\in[0,1]$ admits a unique power-2-decaying Gauss-like expansion (P2GLE for short) as $x=\sum_{i\in\mathbb{N}} 2^{-(d_1(x)+d_2(x)+\cdots+d_i(x))}$, where $d_i(x)\in\mathbb{N}$. For any $x\in(0,1]$, the Khintchine exponent…

Let X be a normed space. A subset A of X is approximately convex if $d(ta+(1-t)b,A) \le 1$ for all $a,b \in A$ and $t \in [0,1]$ where $d(x,A)$ is the distance of $x$ to $A$. Let $\Co(A)$ be the convex hull and $\diam(A)$ the diameter of…

Let $x \in [0,1)$ be an irrational number with continued fraction expansion $[a_1(x),a_2(x), \cdots,a_n(x),\cdots]$ and $q_n(x)$ be the denominator of its $n$-th convergent. We establish, for any $\alpha,\beta$ in $[0,+\infty]$, the…

Let $Q=(q_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of integers greater than or equal to 2. We say that a real number $x$ in $[0,1)$ is {\it $Q$-distribution normal} if the sequence $(q_1q_2... q_n x)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is uniformly distributed mod 1.…

Special bases of orthogonal polynomials are defined, that are suited to expansions of density and potential perturbations under strict particle number conservation. Particle-hole expansions of the density response to an arbitrary…

We describe along the guidelines of Kohn "Quantitative estimates..." (1999), the constant E_s which is needed to control the commutator of a totally real vector field T with di-bar* in order to have Sobolev s-regularity of the Bergman…

For two $n \times n$ complex matrices $A$ and $B$, we define the $q$-deformed commutator as $[ A, B ]_q := A B - q BA$ for a real parameter $q$. In this paper, we investigate a generalization of the B\"{o}ttcher-Wenzel inequality which…

It is shown that for every $\e\in (0,1)$, every compact metric space $(X,d)$ has a compact subset $S\subseteq X$ that embeds into an ultrametric space with distortion $O(1/\e)$, and $$\dim_H(S)\ge (1-\e)\dim_H(X),$$ where $\dim_H(\cdot)$…

We give formulas for the Dolbeault numbers of \Mbar_{3,1}, using the first author's calculations of the weights of the cohomology of M_{2,2} and M_{2,3} and the second author's calculation of the weights of the cohomology of M_{3,1}.

We show any subset $A\subset\mathbb{N}$ with positive upper Banach density contains the pattern $\{m,m+[n\alpha],\dots,m+k[n\alpha]\}$, for some $m\in\mathbb{N}$ and $n=p-1$ for some prime $p$, where…

We show that the polyhedron defined as the convex hull of the lattice points above the hyperbola $\left\{xy = n\right\}$ has between $\Omega(n^{1/3})$ and $O(n^{1/3} \log n)$ vertices. The same bounds apply to any hyperbola with rational…

Let $F : \mathrm{End}_{\mathbb{F_p}}(\mathbb{G}_{a/K}^d)$ be an additive polynomial mapping over a global function field $K/\mathbb{F}_q$, and let $P \in \mathbb{G}_a^d(K)$. Following Silverman, consider $\delta := \lim_{n \in \mathbb{N}}…

We establish a version of the Furstenberg-Katznelson multi-dimensional Szemer\'edi in the primes ${\mathcal P} := \{2,3,5,\ldots\}$, which roughly speaking asserts that any dense subset of ${\mathcal P}^d$ contains constellations of any…

The Heilbronn triangle problem asks for the placement of $n$ points in a unit square that maximizes the smallest area of a triangle formed by any three of those points. In $1972$, Schmidt considered a natural generalization of this problem.…

In this paper we recall a non-standard construction of the Borel sigma-algebra B in [0,1] and construct a family of measures (in particular, Lebesgue measure) in B by a completely non-topological method. This approach, that goes back to…

Motivated by a balanced ternary representation of the Collatz map we define the map $C_\mathbb{R}$ on the positive real numbers by setting $C_\mathbb{R}(x)=\frac{1}{2}x$ if $[x]$ is even and $C_\mathbb{R}(x)=\frac{3}{2}x$ if $[x]$ is odd,…

We give a generalization to higher dimensions of Silverman's result on finiteness of integer points in orbits. Assuming Vojta's conjecture, we prove a sufficient condition for morphisms on P^N so that (S,D)-integral points in each orbit are…

This paper is a complement to our previous paper [21]. It surveys the works on the Furstenberg set $S=\{2^{m}3^{n}: n\ge 0, m\ge 0\}$ and its random version $T$. We also present some new results. For example, it is proved that $T$ almost…

We establish effective versions of Oppenheim's conjecture for generic inhomogeneous quadratic forms. We prove such results for fixed shift vectors and generic quadratic forms. When the shift is rational we prove a counting result which…
