In this short note, we prove the following analog of the K\H{o}v\'ari-S\'os-Tur\'an theorem for intersection graphs of boxes. If $G$ is the intersection graph of $n$ axis-parallel boxes in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ such that $G$ contains no copy of…

Twisted torus knots and links are given by twisting adjacent strands of a torus link. They are geometrically simple and contain many examples of the smallest volume hyperbolic knots. Many are also Lorenz links. We study the geometry of…

Let $q,d\geq 2$ be integers. Define $$ J(q,d):=\frac 1q \Big( \min_{0<x<1} \frac{1-x^q}{1-x} x^{-\frac{q-1}{d}}\Big). $$ Let $\mbox{$\cal G$}\subseteq {\mathbb R}^n$ be an arbitrary subset. We denote by $d(\mbox{$\cal G$})$ the set of…

It is well known that the standard flat torus $\mathbb{T}^2=\mathbb{R}^2/\Z^2$ has arbitrarily large Laplacian-eigenvalue multiplicities. We prove, however, that $24$ is the optimal upper bound for the multiplicities of the nonzero…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, in general position. We remove all of them one by one, in each step erasing one vertex of the convex hull of the current remaining set. Let $g_d(P)$ denote the number of different removal…

For a planar point-set $P$, let D(P) be the minimum number of pairwise-disjoint empty disks such that each point in $P$ lies on the boundary of some disk. Further define D(n) as the maximum of D(P) over all n-element point sets. Hosono and…

We prove an exponential deviation inequality for the convex hull of a finite sample of i.i.d. random points with a density supported on an arbitrary convex body in $\R^d$, $d\geq 2$. When the density is uniform, our result yields rate…

Our paper gives bounds for the rate of convergence for a class of random walks on the d-dimensional torus generated by a set of n vectors in R^d/Z^d. We give bounds on the discrepancy distance from Haar measure; our lower bound holds for…

We study the volume of nodal sets for eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the standard torus in two or more dimensions. We consider a sequence of eigenvalues $4\pi^2\eigenvalue$ with growing multiplicity $\Ndim\to\infty$, and compute the…

Combinatorial discrepancy is a complexity measure of a collection of sets which quantifies how well the sets in the collection can be simultaneously balanced. More precisely, we are given an n-point set $P$, and a collection $\mathcal{F} =…

Let $\mu$ be an Ahlfors-David probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^q$ with support $K$. For every $n\geq 1$, let $C_n(\mu)$ denote the collection of all the $n$-optimal sets for $\mu$ with respect to the geometric mean error. We prove that,…

We improve the best known upper bound for the bracketing number of $d$-dimensional axis-parallel boxes anchored in $0$ (or, put differently, of lower left orthants intersected with the $d$-dimensional unit cube $[0,1]^d$). More precisely,…

For positive integers $d$ and $n$, let $[n]^d$ be the set of all vectors $(a_1,a_2,\dots, a_d)$, where $a_i$ is an integer with $0\leq a_i\leq n-1$. A subset $S$ of $[n]^d$ is called a \emph{Sidon set} if all sums of two (not necessarily…

We consider percolation on the discrete torus $\mathbb{Z}_n^d$ at $p_c(\mathbb{Z}^d)$, the critical value for percolation on the corresponding infinite lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$, and within the scaling window around it. We assume that $d$ is a…

For each natural number n >= 4, we determine the unique lowest volume hyperbolic 3-orbifold whose torsion orders are bounded below by n. This lowest volume orbifold has base space the 3-sphere and singular locus the figure-8 knot, marked n.…

A sequence $(x_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ on the torus $\mathbb{T} \cong [0,1]$ is said to exhibit Poissonian pair correlation if the local gaps behave like the gaps of a Poisson random variable, i.e. $$ \lim_{N \rightarrow \infty}{ \frac{1}{N} \#…

In this paper an explicit formula for a lower bound on the volume of a hyperbolic orbifold, dependent on dimension and the maximal order of torsion in the orbifolds' fundamental group, is constructed.

Let $\mbox{ V}(n,d,q)$ stand for the $q$--ary Hamming spheres. Let $\mbox{ C}\subseteq (q)^n$ denote a tuple system such that $\mbox{ C}\subseteq \cup_{i=0}^s \mbox{ V}(n,d_i,q)$, where $d_1<\ldots <d_s$. We give here a general upper bound…

This paper studies cross-sections inside black holes and conjectures a universal inequality: in a static $(d+1)$-dimensional asymptotically planar/spherical Schwarzschild-AdS spacetime of given energy $E$ and AdS radius $\ell_{\text{AdS}}$,…

It is shown that the absolute value of the persistent current in a system with toroidal geometry is rigorously less than or equal to $e \hbar N /4 \pi m r_0^2$, where $N$ is the number of electrons, and $r_0^{-2} = \langle r_i^{-2}\rangle$…
