Asymptotic properties of random regular graphs are object of extensive study in mathematics. In this note we argue, based on theory of spin glasses, that in random regular graphs the maximum cut size asymptotically equals the number of…
We consider the typical distance between vertices of the giant component of a random intersection graph having a power law (asymptotic) vertex degree distribution with infinite second moment. Given two vertices from the giant component we…
We study multiple ergodic averages along IP sets, meaning we restrict iterates in the averages to all finite sums of some infinite sequence of natural numbers. We give criteria for convergence and divergence in mean of these multiple…
The study of "random segments" is a classic issue in geometrical probability, whose complexity depends on how it is defined. But in apparently simple models, the random behavior is not immediate. In the present manuscript the following…
We study the global structure of the set of radial solutions of a nonlinear Dirichlet problem involving the p-Laplacian with p>2, in the unit ball of $R^N$, $N \ges 1$. We show that all non-trivial radial solutions lie on smooth curves of…
In this paper we analyze the intersection between the norm-trace curve over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ and the curves of the form $y=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d$, giving a complete characterization of the intersection between the curve and the parabolas, as…
We investigate the consequences of fluid flowing on a continuous surface upon the geometric and statistical distribution of the flow. We find that the ability of a surface to collect water by its mere geometrical shape is proportional to…
It has been suggested that the distribution of the suitably normalized number of zeros of Laplacian eigenfunctions contains information about the geometry of the underlying domain. We study this distribution (more precisely, the…
Hardy conjectured that the error term arising from approximating the number of lattice points lying in a radius-$R$ disc by its area is $O(R^{1/2+o(1)})$. One source of support for this conjecture is a folklore heuristic that uses i.i.d.…
Where are the intersection points of diagonals of a regular $n$-gon located? What is the distribution of the intersection point of two random chords of a circle? We investigate these and related new questions in geometric probability,…
We prove the exponent $4/3$ for the lattice point discrepancy of a torus in $\mathbb{R}^3$ (generated by the rotation of a circle around the $z$ axis). The exponent comes from a diagonal term and it seems a natural limit for any approach…
We prove a Russo-Seymour-Welsch percolation theorem for nodal domains and nodal lines associated to a natural infinite dimensional space of real analytic functions on the real plane. More precisely, let $U$ be a smooth connected bounded…
In this paper, we study rare events in spherical and Gaussian random geometric graphs in high dimensions. In these models, the vertices correspond to points sampled uniformly at random on the $d$ dimensional unit sphere or correspond to $d$…
In the 3-dimensional Riemannian geometry, contact structures equipped with an adapted Riemannian metric are divergence-free, nondegenerate eigenforms of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. We trace out a 2-d analogue of this fact: there is a…
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…
We consider eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on special surfaces of revolution. For this separable system, the nodal domains of the (real) eigenfunctions form a checker-board pattern, and their number $\nu_n$ is proportional…
We consider uniformly rotating incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. We study the suppression of vertical gradients of Lagrangian displacement ("vertical" refers to the direction of the rotation axis). We employ a formalism that…
Given any full rank lattice and a natural number N , we regard the point set given by the scaled lattice intersected with the unit square under the Lambert map to the unit sphere, and show that its spherical cap discrepancy is at most of…
The nodal edge count of an eigenvector of the Laplacian of a graph is the number of edges on which it changes sign. This quantity extends to any real symmetric $n\times n$ matrix supported on a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices. The average nodal…
We estimate the $L^2$ norm of the restriction to a totally geodesic submanifold of the eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the standard flat torus $\mathbb{T}^d$, $d\ge2$. We reduce getting correct bounds to counting lattice…
