We asymptotically estimate the variance of the number of lattice points in a thin, randomly rotated annulus lying on the surface of the sphere. This partially resolves a conjecture of Bourgain, Rudnick, and Sarnak. We also obtain estimates…
We investigate the minimal Riesz s-energy problem for positive measures on the d-dimensional unit sphere S^d in the presence of an external field induced by a point charge, and more generally by a line charge. The model interaction is that…

Let $S$ be a finite set of points in the plane and let $\mathcal{T}(S)$ be the set of intersection points between pairs of lines passing through any two points in $S$. We characterize all configurations of points $S$ such that iteration of…
The $\mathcal{L}_2$ discrepancy is one of several well-known quantitative measures for the equidistribution properties of point sets in the high-dimensional unit cube. The concept of weights was introduced by Sloan and Wo\'{z}niakowski to…

The structure of $k$-diametral point configurations in Minkowski $d$-space is shown to be closely related to the properties of $k$-antipodal point configurations in $\mathbb{R}^d$. In particular, the maximum size of $k$-diametral point…
Theta graphs are important geometric graphs that have many applications, including wireless networking, motion planning, real-time animation, and minimum-spanning tree construction. We give closed form expressions for the average degree of…
A finite set of unlabelled points in Euclidean space is the simplest representation of many real objects from mineral rocks to sculptures. Since most solid objects are rigid, their natural equivalence is rigid motion or isometry maintaining…

We present an isogeometric framework based on collocation to construct a $C^2$-smooth approximation of the solution of the Poisson's equation over planar bilinearly parameterized multi-patch domains. The construction of the used globally…
Creating spherical initial conditions in smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations that are spherically conformal is a difficult task. Here, we describe two algorithmic methods for evenly distributing points on surfaces, that when paired…
We are studying the problem of estimating density in a wide range of metric spaces, including the Euclidean space, the sphere, the ball, and various Riemannian manifolds. Our framework involves a metric space with a doubling measure and a…
We study a lattice point counting problem for spheres arising from the Heisenberg groups. In particular, we prove an upper bound on the number of points on and near large dilates of the unit spheres generated by the anisotropic norms…
We show that balls, circles and 2-spheres can be identified by generalized Riesz energy among compact submanifolds of the Euclidean space that are either closed or with codimension 0, where the Riesz energy is defined as the double integral…

This paper presents an alternative formulation of the geodesic normal distribution on the sphere, building on the work of Hauberg (2018). While the isotropic version of this distribution is naturally defined on the sphere, the anisotropic…
There is a highly special point configuration in $\mathbb{P}^2$ of 31 points, naturally arising from the geometry of the icosahedron. The 15 planes of symmetry of the icosahedron projectivize to 15 lines in $\mathbb{P}^2$, whose points of…
