Degeneration of modules is usually defined geometrically, but due to results of Zwara and Riedtmann we can also define it in terms of exact sequences. This definition also works over fields that are not algebraically closed. Let $k$ be a…

This paper considers an extremal version of the Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem. For a point set $P \subset \mathbb R^d$, let $\Delta(P)$ denote the set of all Euclidean distances determined by $P$. Our main result is the following: if…

\textit{Clustering problems} often arise in the fields like data mining, machine learning etc. to group a collection of objects into similar groups with respect to a similarity (or dissimilarity) measure. Among the clustering problems,…

Consider a form $g(x_1,...,x_s)$ of degree $d$, having coefficients in the completion $F_q((1/t))$ of the field of fractions $F_q(t)$ associated to the finite field $F_q$. We establish that whenever $s>d^2$, then the form $g$ takes…

The $k$-median and $k$-means clustering objectives are classic objectives for modeling clustering in a metric space. Given a set of points in a metric space, the goal of the $k$-median (resp. $k$-means) problem is to find $k$ representative…

We obtain nontrivial exponents for Erd\H os-Falconer type problems. Let $T_k(E)$ denote the set of distinct congruent $k$-dimensional simplexes determined by $(k+1)$-tuples of points from $E$. We prove that there exists $s_0(d)<d$ such…

An analog of the Falconer distance problem in vector spaces over finite fields asks for the threshold $\alpha>0$ such that $|\Delta(E)| \gtrsim q$ whenever $|E| \gtrsim q^{\alpha}$, where $E \subset {\Bbb F}_q^d$, the $d$-dimensional vector…

The $k$-Even Set problem is a parameterized variant of the Minimum Distance Problem of linear codes over $\mathbb F_2$, which can be stated as follows: given a generator matrix $\mathbf A$ and an integer $k$, determine whether the code…

Consider a system F of n polynomials in n variables, with a total of n+k distinct exponent vectors, over any local field L. We discuss conjecturally tight bounds on the maximal number of non-degenerate roots F can have over L, with all…

We prove the existence of similar and multi-similar point configurations (or simplexes) in sets of fractional Hausdorff measure in Euclidean space. These results can be viewed as variants, for thin sets, of theorems for sets of positive…
