We prove a central limit theorem for the volume of projections of the N-cube onto a random subspace of dimension n, when n is fixed and N tends to infinity. Randomness in this case is with respect to the Haar measure on the Grassmannian…

A special case of a combinatorial theorem of De Bruijn and Erdos asserts that every noncollinear set of n points in the plane determines at least n distinct lines. Chen and Chvatal suggested a possible generalization of this assertion in…

Relatively recently it was proved that if $\Gamma$ is an arbitrary set, then any equivalent norm on $c_0(\Gamma)$ can be approximated uniformly on bounded sets by polyhedral norms and $C^\infty$ smooth norms, with arbitrary precision. We…

The complex conjecture of Stefan Banach states that if V is a Banach space over the complex numbers where for some n, 1<n<dim(V), all of its n-dimensional subspaces are isometric, then V is a Hilbert space. Mikhail Gromov proved it for n…

In 1984, Johnson and Lindenstrauss proved that any finite set of data in a high-dimensional space can be projected to a lower-dimensional space while preserving the pairwise Euclidean distance between points up to a bounded relative error.…

A linear functional of an object from a convex symmetric set can be optimally estimated, in a worst-case sense, by a linear functional of observations made on the object. This well-known fact is extended here to a nonlinear setting: other…

The idea of best approximation in linear n-normed space is presented and some examples showing various possibilities of best approximations in linear n-normed space is given. Also, we study strictly convex n-norm and enquire about the…

We show that almost any one-dimensional projection of a suitably scaled random walk on a hypercube, inscribed in a hypersphere, converges weakly to an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process as the dimension of the sphere tends to infinity. We also…

In this article we address the problem of computing the dimension of the space of plane curves of degree $d$ with $n$ general points of multiplicity $m$. A conjecture of Harbourne and Hirschowitz implies that when $d \geq 3m$, the dimension…

We show that there is a constant $c$ such that any 3-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal H$ with $n$ vertices and at least $cn^{5/2}$ edges contains a triangulation of the real projective plane as a subgraph. This resolves a conjecture of…

A classical consequence of the John Ellipsoid Theorem is the upper bound $\sqrt{n}$ on the Banach-Mazur distance between the Euclidean ball and any symmetric convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Equality is attained for the parallelotope and the…

The method of alternating projections involves orthogonally projecting an element of a Hilbert space onto a collection of closed subspaces. It is known that the resulting sequence always converges in norm if the projections are taken…

We consider Marstrand type projection theorems for closest-point projections in the normed space $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove that if a norm on $\mathbb{R}^2$ is regular enough, then the analogues of the well-known statements from the Euclidean…

The three gap theorem (or Steinhaus conjecture) asserts that there are at most three distinct gap lengths in the fractional parts of the sequence $\alpha,2\alpha,\ldots,N\alpha$, for any integer $N$ and real number $\alpha$. This statement…

We give a new proof of Steinitz's classical theorem in the case of plane triangulations, which allows us to obtain a new general bound on the grid size of the simplicial polytope realizing a given triangulation, subexponential in a number…

An important consequence of the Hahn-Banach Theorem says that on any locally convex Hausdorff topological space $X$, there are sufficiently many continuous linear functionals to separate points of $X$. In the paper, we establish a `local'…

The ternary Goldbach conjecture, or three-primes problem, asserts that every odd integer $n$ greater than $5$ is the sum of three primes. The present paper proves this conjecture. Both the ternary Goldbach conjecture and the binary, or…

In 1961, P. Erd\H{o}s, A. Ginzburg, and A. Ziv proved a remarkable theorem stating that each set of $2n-1$ integers contains a subset of size $n$, the sum of whose elements is divisible by $n$. We will prove a similar result for pairs of…

It is conjectured that the dual variety of every smooth nonlinear subvariety of dimension $> \frac{2N}{3}$ in projective $N$-space is a hypersurface, an expectation known as the duality defect conjecture. This would follow from the truth of…

The purpose of this note is to show that, if $\mcB$ is a uniformly convex Banach, then the dual space $\mcB'$ has a "Hilbert space representation" (defined in the paper), that makes $\mcB$ much closer to a Hilbert space then previously…
