In this paper, we deal with analytic and geometric properties of orthogonally convex sets. We establish a Blaschke-type theorem for path-connected and orthogonally convex sets in the plane using orthogonally convex paths. The separation of…

Using an elementary argument, we prove new fixed point theorems for classical elliptic complexes. We obtain new results for conformal relations and coisotropic intersections. We obtain theorems for the average intersections of families of…

A subset $Y$ of the general linear group $\operatorname{GL}(n,q)$ is called $t$-intersecting if $\operatorname{rk}(x-y)\le n-t$ for all $x,y\in Y$, or equivalently $x$ and $y$ agree pointwise on a $t$-dimensional subspace of…

We show that the Radon number characterizes the existence of weak nets in separable convexity spaces (an abstraction of the euclidean notion of convexity). The construction of weak nets when the Radon number is finite is based on Helly's…

We show finite-size bounds on the deviation of the optimal type II error from its asymptotic value in the quantum hypothesis testing problem of Stein's lemma with composite null-hypothesis. The proof is based on some simple properties of a…

A general theory of homeoidally striated density profiles where no divergence occurs, is adapted to cuspy density profiles, with a suitable choice of the scaling density and the scaling radius. A general formulation of some physical…

The Harary-Hill Conjecture states that for $n\geq 3$ every drawing of $K_n$ has at least \begin{align*} H(n) :=…

Meta-analysis, the statistical analysis of results from separate studies, is a fundamental building block of science. But the assumptions of classical meta-analysis models are not satisfied whenever publication bias is present, which causes…

We discuss five discrete results: the lemmas of Sperner and Tucker from combinatorial topology and the theorems of Carath\'eodory, Helly, and Tverberg from combinatorial geometry. We explore their connections and emphasize their broad…

It is conjectured that if a finite set of points in the plane contains many collinear triples then there is some structure in the set. We are going to show that under some combinatorial conditions such pointsets contain special…

We show that the graph property of having a (very) large $k$-th Betti number $\beta_k$ for constant $k$ is testable with a constant number of queries in the dense graph model. More specifically, we consider a clique complex defined by an…

Following recent work on the VC-dimension of subsets of various pseudorandom graphs, we study the VC-dimension of Hamming graphs, which have proved somewhat resistant to the standard techniques in the literature. Our methods are elementary,…

We prove a vector-valued version of Carleson's theorem: Let Y=[X,H]_t be a complex interpolation space between a UMD space X and a Hilbert space H. For p\in(1,\infty) and f\in L^p(T;Y), the partial sums of the Fourier series of f converge…

An $\epsilon$-net theorem for a hypergraph upper bounds the minimum size of a vertex set that pierces all $\epsilon$-heavy hyperedges. A $(p,2)$-theorem bounds from above the minimum size of a vertex set that pierces all hyperedges, in…

We study Helly graphs of finite combinatorial dimension, i.e. whose injective hull is finite-dimensional. We describe very simple fine simplicial subdivisions of the injective hull of a Helly graph, following work of Lang. We also give a…

We provide a new version of delta theorem, that takes into account of high dimensional parameter estimation. We show that depending on the structure of the function, the limits of functions of estimators have faster or slower rate of…

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…

We prove that Anderson's conjecture on symmetric sequencings and Bailey's conjecture on 2-sequencings hold for sufficiently large groups. In addition, we discuss extensions of partial harmonious sequences and partial R-sequencings. Several…

The aim of this note is to give an elementary proof of the following fact: given 3 red convex sets and 3 blue convex sets in $\mathbb{E}^3$, such that every red intersects every blue, there is a line transversal to the reds or there is a…

The quaternionic numerical range of matrices over the ring of quaternions is not necessarily convex. We prove Toeplitz-Hausdorff like theorem, that is, for any given quaternionic matrix every section of its quaternionic numerical range is…
