For a topological space $X$ a topological contraction on $X$ is a closed mapping $f:X\to X$ such that for every open cover of $X$ there is a positive integer $n$ such that the image of the space $X$ via the $n$th iteration of $f$ is a…

We give an explicit formula proving Xu's Conjecture on alternating double zeta values. We also discuss the limitations of Glanois' motivic Galois descent criterion in this case, as it cannot specify the depth of the descent.

We prove the following sparse approximation result for polytopes. Assume that $Q$ is a polytope in John's position. Then there exist at most $2d$ vertices of $Q$ whose convex hull $Q'$ satisfies $Q \subseteq - 2d^2 \, Q'$. As a consequence,…

Is there a natural way to order data in dimension greater than one? The approach based on the notion of data depth, often associated with John Tukey, is among the most popular. Tukey's depth has found applications in robust statistics,…

It is shown that for a function $f:\mathbb R^2\to \mathbb R$ which is measurable with respect to the first variable and upper semicontinuous quasicontinuous and increasing with respect to the second variable there exists a Caratheodory's…

We prove the discrete analogue of Kakeya conjecture over $\mathbb{R}^n$. This result suggests that a (hypothetically) low dimensional Kakeya set cannot be constructed directly from discrete configurations. We also prove a generalization…

Let $\mathbf{C}$ be a Cauchy-complete category. The subtoposes of $[\mathbf{C}^{\mathrm{op}},\mathbf{Set}]$ are sometimes all of the form $[\mathbf{D}^{\mathrm{op}},\mathbf{Set}]$ where $\mathbf{D}$ is a full subcategory of $\mathbf{C}$.…

Let Q_i, i=1,...,t, be real nondegenerate indefinite quadratic forms in d variables. We investigate under what conditions the closure of the set {(Q_1(x),...,Q_t(x)): x\in Z^d-{0}} contains (0,..,0). As a corollary, we deduce several…

In a recent paper, Chan, \L aba, and Pramanik investigated geometric configurations inside thin subsets of the Euclidean set possessing measures with Fourier decay properties. In this paper we ask which configurations can be found inside…

Taylor's theorem (and its variants) is widely used in several areas of mathematical analysis, including numerical analysis, functional analysis, and partial differential equations. This article explains how Taylor's theorem in its most…

Let $P$ be a finite simplicial comple with underlying space (union of simplices in $P$) $|P|$. Let $Q$ be a subcomplex of $P$. Let $a \geq 0$. Then there exists $K < \infty$, \emph{depending only on $a$ and $Q$,} with the following…

We give a new proof of the Kat\v{e}tov-Tong theorem. Our strategy is to first prove the theorem for compact Hausdorff spaces, and then extend it to all normal spaces. The key ingredient is how the ring of bounded continuous real-valued…

We explore an analogue of the Andr\'e-Oort conjecture for subvarieties of Drinfeld modular varieties. The conjecture states that a subvariety $X$ of a Drinfeld modular variety contains a Zariski-dense set of complex multiplication (CM)…

Let $D$ be a digraph. We define the minimum semi-degree of $D$ as $\delta^{0}(D) := \min \{\delta^{+}(D), \delta^{-}(D)\}$. Let $k$ be a positive integer, and let $S = \{s\}$ and $T = \{t_{1}, \dots ,t_{k}\}$ be any two disjoint subsets of…

As an application of the Bochner formula, we prove that if a $2$-dimensional Riemannian manifold admits a non-trivial smooth tangent vector field $X$ then its Gauss curvature is the divergence of a tangent vector field, constructed from…

Mean estimation is a fundamental task in statistics and a focus within differentially private statistical estimation. While univariate methods based on the Gaussian mechanism are widely used in practice, more advanced techniques such as the…

We consider the Carnot-Carath\'eodory distance $\delta_E$ to a closed set $E$ in the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg groups $\mathbb{H}^n$, $n\ge 1$. The $\mathbb{H}$-regularity of $\delta_E$ is proved under mild conditions involving a general…

Pach showed that every $d+1$ sets of points $Q_1,\dotsc,Q_{d+1} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ contain linearly-sized subsets $P_i\subset Q_i$ such that all the transversal simplices that they span intersect. We show, by means of an example, that a…

The classical Steinitz theorem asserts that if the origin lies within the interior of the convex hull of a set $S \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, then there are at most $2d$ points in $S$ whose convex hull contains the origin within its interior.…

In this paper we prove two theorems. The first one is a structure result that describes the extrinsic geometry of an embedded surface with constant mean curvature (possibly zero) in a homogeneously regular Riemannian three-manifold, in any…
