The dispersion of a point set $P\subset[0,1]^d$ is the volume of the largest box with sides parallel to the coordinate axes, which does not intersect $P$. Here, we show a construction of low-dispersion point sets, which can be deduced from…
In the spherical Poisson Boolean model, one takes the union of random balls centred on the points of a Poisson process in Euclidean $d$-space with $d \geq 2$. We prove that whenever the radius distribution has a finite $d$-th moment, there…
We study the transition of a particle between two points such that the particle takes discrete spatial steps in this transition. We analyze how the sum over histories interpretation of quantum mechanics can be implemented in this scenario.…
According to a classical result of Szemer\'{e}di, every dense subset of $1,2,...,N$ contains an arbitrary long arithmetic progression, if $N$ is large enough. Its analogue in higher dimensions due to F\"urstenberg and Katznelson says that…
We study the following range searching problem in high-dimensional Euclidean spaces: given a finite set $P\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, where each $p\in P$ is assigned a weight $w_p$, and radius $r>0$, we need to preprocess $P$ into a data…
We develop a theory for distributed branch points and investigate their role in determining the shape and influencing the mechanics of thin hyperbolic objects. We show that branch points are the natural topological defects in hyperbolic…
We consider finite point subsets (distributions) in compact metric spaces. In the case of general rectifiable metric spaces, non-trivial bounds for sums of distances between points of distributions and for discrepancies of distributions in…
I examine the phenomenology of particle multiplicity distributions, with special emphasis on the low multiplicities that are a background in the study of rapidity gaps. In particular, I analyze the multiplicity distribution in a rapidity…
The distribution of the number of points on abelian covers of $\mathbb{P}1(\mathbb{F}_q)$ ranging over an irreducible moduli space has been answered in recent work by the author. Bucur, et al. determined the distribution over the whole…
We consider a random variable expressed as the Euclidean distance between an arbitrary point and a random variable uniformly distributed in a closed and bounded set of a three-dimensional Euclidean space. Four cases are considered for this…
The core of this note is the observation that links between circle packings of graphs and potential theory developed in \cite{BeSc01} and \cite{HS} can be extended to higher dimensions. In particular, it is shown that every limit of finite…
Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a set of $n$ points in the Euclidean plane. We prove that, for any $\epsilon > 0$, either a single line or circle contains $n/2$ points of $\mathcal{P}$, or the number of distinct perpendicular bisectors determined by…
The multiplicity distributions produced by the variation of time-dependent gravitational fields in a conformally flat background geometry belong to the same class of infinitely divisible distributions found, for fixed centre of mass…
We consider a square expanding with constant speed seen from an observer moving away with constant acceleration and study the distribution of angles between rays from the observer towards the lattice points in the square. We prove the…
For any nearfield $(R,+, \circ)$, denote by $D(R)$ the set of all distributive elements of $R$. Let $R$ be a finite Dickson nearfield that arises from Dickson pair $(q,n)$. For a given pair $(\alpha, \beta) \in R^2$ we study the generalized…
The distances between flats of a Poisson $k$-flat process in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space with $k<d/2$ are discussed. Continuing an approach originally due to Rolf Schneider, the number of pairs of flats having distance less than a…
Voids are a prominent feature of the galaxy distribution but their quantitative study is hindered by the lack of a precise definition of what constitutes a void. Here we propose a definition of voids in point distributions that uses methods…
We investigate the variation in the total number of points in a random $p\times p$ square in $\mathbb{Z}^2$ where the $p$-adic valuation of a given polynomial in two variables is precisely $1$. We establish that this quantity follows a…
We discuss some open problems concerning the maximal spread of coherent distributions. We prove a sharp bound on $\mathbb{E}|X-Y|^{\alpha}$ for $(X,Y)$ coherent and $\alpha \le 2$, and establish a novel connection between coherent…
We study distributions on a Euclidean Jordan algebra V with values in a finite dimensional representation space for the identity component G of the structure group of V and homogeneous equivariance condition. We show that such distributions…
