For $\lambda \in (1/2, 1)$ and $\alpha$, we consider sets of numbers $x$ such that for infinitely many $n$, $x$ is $2^{-\alpha n}$-close to some $\sum_{i=1}^n \omega_i \lambda^i$, where $\omega_i \in \{0,1\}$. These sets are in Falconer's…

A bisection of a graph is a bipartition of its vertex set in which the number of vertices in the two parts differ by at most 1, and its size is the number of edges which go across the two parts. In this paper, motivated by several questions…

The paper provides bounds for the ropelength of a link in terms of the crossing numbers of its split components. As in earlier papers, the bounds grow with the square of the crossing number; however, the constant involved is a substantial…

We establish an epsilon-regularity theorem at points in the free boundary of almost-minimizers of the energy $\mathrm{Per}_{w}(E)=\int_{\partial^*E}w\,\mathrm{d} {\mathscr{H}}^{n-1}$, where $w$ is a weight asymptotic to…

Consider a random power series of the form $P(z) = \sum_{n\ge 1} \varepsilon_n a_n z^{n}$ where $a_n \in \mathbb{C}$ are deterministic and $\varepsilon_n$ are chosen independently and uniformly at random from $\{\pm 1\}$. Kolmogorov's…

A set of $n$ points in the Euclidean plane determines at least $n$ distinct lines unless these $n$ points are collinear. In 2006, Chen and Chv\'atal asked whether the same statement holds true in general metric spaces, where the line…

The Schr\"odinger equation for a charged particle in the field of a nonrelativistic electric quadrupole in two dimensions is known to be separable in spherical coordinates. We investigate the occurrence of bound states of negative energy…

Let $\Omega$ be a open bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n $ with smooth boundary $\partial\Omega$. We consider the equation $ \Delta u + u^{\frac{n-k+2}{n-k-2}-\varepsilon} =0\,\hbox{ in }\,\Omega $, under zero Dirichlet boundary condition,…

We start by providing a very simple and elementary new proof of the classical bound due to J. Beck which states that the spherical cap $\mathbb{L}_2$-discrepancy of any $N$ points on the unit sphere $\mathbb S^d$ in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$,…

It is shown that in a sequence of randomly generated bipartite configurations with number of left nodes approaching infinity, the probability that a particular configuration in the sequence has a minimum bisection width proportional to the…

A well-known theorem of de Bruijn and Erd\H{o}s states that any set of $n$ non-collinear points in the plane determines at least $n$ lines. Chen and Chv\'{a}tal asked whether an analogous statement holds within the framework of finite…

In this article we prove that if the additive energy of a strictly increasing sequence $(a_n)$ of natural numbers is less than $N^3/(\log N)^C$ for some $C\geq13.155$, then $(\{a_n\alpha\})$ has Poissonian pair correlation for almost all…

We prove a theorem on the relationships between the lengths of sides of a spherical quadrilateral with three right angles. They are analogous to the relationships in the Lambert quadrilateral in the hyperbolic plane. We apply this theorem…

In this short note, we study the distribution of spreads in a point set $\mathcal{P} \subseteq \mathbb{F}_q^d$, which are analogous to angles in Euclidean space. More precisely, we prove that, for any $\varepsilon > 0$, if $|\mathcal{P}|…

Let $P$ be a finite set of points in the plane in general position, that is, no three points of $P$ are on a common line. We say that a set $H$ of five points from $P$ is a $5$-hole in $P$ if $H$ is the vertex set of a convex $5$-gon…

Main Theorem. Two parabols have four common points. There exists a circle tangent to the sides of the obtained parabolic quadrilateral if and only if the diagonals of this quadrilateral are orthogonal. The proof of the Main Theorem is…

We consider spanning trees of $n$ points in convex position whose edges are pairwise non-crossing. Applying a flip to such a tree consists in adding an edge and removing another so that the result is still a non-crossing spanning tree.…

Let \Gamma<\PSL(2,\C) be a geometrically finite non-elementary discrete subgroup, and let its critical exponent \delta\ be greater than 1. We use representation theory of \PSL(2,\C) to prove an effective bisector counting theorem for…

The Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres conjecture states that any set of more than $2^{n-2}$ points in the plane with no three on a line contains the vertices of a convex $n$-gon. Erd\H{o}s, Tuza, and Valtr strengthened the conjecture by stating that any…

There is a constant c > 0 such that for every $\epsilon \in (0,1)$ and $n \geq 1/\epsilon^2$, the following holds. Any mapping from the $n$-point star metric into $\ell_1^d$ with bi-Lipschitz distortion $1+\epsilon$ requires dimension $$d…
