Consider a plane graph G, drawn with straight lines. For every pair a,b of vertices of G, we compare the shortest-path distance between a and b in G (with Euclidean edge lengths) to their actual distance in the plane. The worst-case ratio…

We prove an analogue of a result by Goldston, Pintz and Yildirim for small gaps between primes that split completely in an abelian number field. We prove both a conditional result assuming the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture, and an…

We prove the following Theorem: Let X be a nonempty compact metrizable space, let $l_1 \leq l_2 \leq...$ be a sequence of natural numbers, and let $X_1 \subset X_2 \subset...$ be a sequence of nonempty closed subspaces of X such that for…

In the recent paper arXiv:1807.02721, B. Lawrence and A. Venkatesh develop a method of proving finiteness theorems in arithmetic geometry by studying the geometry of families over a base variety. Their results include a new proof of both…

The three gap theorem was originally a conjecture by Steinhaus, who asserted that there are at most three distinct gap lengths in the fractional parts of the sequence {\alpha},{2}{\alpha},{\cdots},{N}{\alpha} for any integer {N} and real…

A separating algebra is, roughly speaking, a subalgebra of the ring of invariants whose elements distinguish between any two orbits that can be distinguished using invariants. In this paper, we introduce a geometric notion of separating…

Providing system-size independent lower bounds on the spectral gap of local Hamiltonian is in general a hard problem. For the case of finite-range, frustration free Hamiltonians on a spin lattice of arbitrary dimension, we show that a…

In his study of Halperin's toral-rank conjecture, M. R. Hilali conjectured that for any simply connected rationally elliptic space $X$, one must have $dim\pi_*(X)\otimes \mathbb{Q} \leq dimH^*(X,\mathbb{Q})$. Let $(\Lambda V, d)$ denote a…

We theoretically investigate the correlation functions of the phase of a light wave propagating through a turbulent medium. We use an equation for the logarithm of a wave packet envelope, which includes a second-order nonlinear term. Based…

We establish a simple and powerful lemma that provides a criterion for sequences in metric spaces to be Cauchy. Using the lemma, it is then easily verified that the Picard iterates $\{T^nx\}$, where $T$ is a contraction or asymptotic…

In one of their seminal articles on allowable sequences, Goodman and Pollack gave combinatorial generalizations for three problems in discrete geometry, one of which being the Dirac conjecture. According to this conjecture, any set of $n$…

We deduce from a theorem of Dvorak--Norin that the separation and treewidth profiles of graphs are asymptotically equivalent, resolving a question of Huang--Hume--Kelly--Lam. As an application, we calculate the separation profiles of Cayley…

We prove that any increasing sequence of real numbers with average gap $1$ and Poisson pair correlations has some gap that is at least $3/2+10^{-9}$. This improves upon a result of Aistleitner, Blomer, and Radziwill.

This paper explores the proof by J. Bourgain, H. Furstenberg, Y. Katznelson and D.S. Ornstein of their return times theorem [2] and lights a corner in it regarding the role of auto-correlation. As for pointwise convergence, this was already…
