A well studied family of random fractals called fractal percolation is discussed. We focus on the projections of fractal percolation on the plane. Our goal is to present stronger versions of the classical Marstrand theorem, valid for almost…

We prove that any smooth Riemannian manifold of non-negative scalar curvature and with a strictly mean convex and compact boundary component can be (C^2) extended beyond the component to have non-negative scalar curvature and to enjoy…

The general prescription for constructing the continuum limit of a field theory is introduced. We then apply the prescription to construct the O(N) non-linear sigma model and the Gross-Neveu model in three dimensions using the large N…

Motivated by intuitions from projective algebraic geometry, we provide a novel construction of subsets of the $d$-dimensional grid $[n]^d$ of size $n - o(n)$ with no $d + 2$ points on a sphere or a hyperplane. For $d = 2$, this improves the…

We develop strong lower bounds for the span of the projective Stiefel manifolds $X_{n,r}=O(n)/(O(n-r)\times \mathbb Z/2)$, which enable very accurate (in many cases exact) estimates of the span. The technique, for the most part, involves…

In this paper, we propose a novel primal-dual inexact gradient projection method for nonlinear optimization problems with convex-set constraint. This method only needs inexact computation of the projections onto the convex set for each…

The Erd\H{o}s discrepancy problem, now a theorem by T. Tao, asks whether every sequence with values plus or minus one has unbounded discrepancy along all homogeneous arithmetic progressions. We establish weighted variants of this problem,…

In this work, we obtain a short time solution for a geometric flow on noncompact affine Riemannian manifolds. Using this result, we can construct a Hessian metric with nonnegative bounded Hessian sectional curvature on some Hessian…

Building on the univariate techniques developed by Ray and Schmidt-Hieber, we study the class $\mathcal{F}^s(\mathbb{R}^n)$ of multivariate nonnegative smooth functions that are sufficiently flat near their zeroes, which guarantees that…

We develop a computationally efficient algorithm for the automatic regularization of nonlinear inverse problems based on the discrepancy principle. We formulate the problem as an equality constrained optimization problem, where the…

We present the asymptotic distribution theory for a class of increment-based estimators of the fractal dimension of a random field of the form g{X(t)}, where g:R\to R is an unknown smooth function and X(t) is a real-valued stationary…

Let $F$ be a non-Archimedean local field. This paper studies homological properties of irreducible smooth representations restricted from $\mathrm{GL}_{n+1}(F)$ to $\mathrm{GL}_n(F)$. A main result shows that each Bernstein component of an…

We study linear series on a general curve of genus $g$, whose images are exceptional with regard to their secant planes. Working in the framework of an extension of Brill-Noether theory to pairs of linear series, we prove that a general…

We present a posteriori error analysis in the supremum norm for the symmetric interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method for the elliptic obstacle problem. We construct discrete barrier functions based on appropriate corrections of the…

We obtain restrictions on the topology of a closed connected manifold B that bounds a (possibly noncompact) manifold whose interior V admits a complete Riemannian metric of nonpositive sectional curvature. If G denotes the fundamental group…

In this paper, we consider the feasibility problem, which aims to find a feasible point for the constraint set $\{x \in \mathbb{R}^n: c(x) = 0\}$ over a possibly non-regular subset $\mathcal{X} \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. Under the constraint…

Let $(X_i,p_i)$ be a non-collapsing sequence of pointed $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with a uniform lower Ricci curvature bound, and $G_i \leq \text{Iso} (X_i)$ a sequence of closed subgroups of isometries. We show that if the…

We consider here the problem, which is quite classical in Algebraic geometry, of studying the secant varieties of a projective variety $X$. The case we concentrate on is when $X$ is a Veronese variety, a Grassmannian or a Segre variety. Not…

Given a non-oscillating gradient trajectory G of a real analytic function f, we show that the limit v of the secants at the limit point O of G along the trajectory G is an eigen-vector of the limit of the direction of the Hessian matrix…

The Geometric Shafarevich Conjecture and the Theorem of de Franchis state the finiteness of the number of certain holomorphic objects on closed or punctured Riemann surfaces. The analog of these kind of theorems for Riemann surfaces of…
