Let $K$ be an $n$-dimensional convex body. Define the difference body by $$ K-K= \{x-y \mid x,y \in K \}. $$ We estimate the volume of the section of $K-K$ by a linear subspace $F$ via the maximal volume of sections of $K$ parallel to $F$.…

Let $\varphi_{n,K}$ denote the largest angle in all the triangles with vertices among the $n$ points selected at random in a compact convex subset $K$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$ with nonempty interior, where $d\ge2$. It is shown that the…

Magnitude is an isometric invariant of metric spaces inspired by category theory. Recent work has shown that the asymptotic behavior under rescaling of the magnitude of subsets of Euclidean space is closely related to intrinsic volumes.…

If a pair of subsets of two-dimensional Euclidean space nearly achieves equality in the Brunn-Minkowski inequality, in the sense that the measure of the associated sumset is nearly equal to the lower bound provided by the inequality, then…

An important theorem of Banaszczyk (Random Structures & Algorithms `98) states that for any sequence of vectors of $\ell_2$ norm at most $1/5$ and any convex body $K$ of Gaussian measure $1/2$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, there exists a signed…

In 1921 Blichfeldt gave an upper bound on the number of integral points contained in a convex body in terms of the volume of the body. More precisely, he showed that $#(K\cap\Z^n)\leq n! \vol(K)+n$, whenever $K\subset\R^n$ is a convex body…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb{R} ^d$, with $d = 2,3$. We determine sharp sufficient conditions for a set $E$ composed of $1$, $2$, or $3$ points of ${\rm bd}K$, to contain at least one endpoint of a diameter of $K$ (for $d=2,3$). We…

We prove that for any $2<p<\infty$ and for every $n$-dimensional subspace $X$ of $L_p$, represented on $\mathbb R^n$, whose unit ball $B_X$ is in Lewis' position one has the following two-level Gaussian concentration inequality: \[ \mathbb…

Let $X=\Lambda\backslash\mathbb{H}$ be a Schottky surface, that is, a conformally compact hyperbolic surface of infinite area. Let $\delta$ denote the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set of $\Lambda$. We prove that for any compact subset…

Central limit theorems (CLTs) for high-dimensional random vectors with dimension possibly growing with the sample size have received a lot of attention in the recent times. Chernozhukov et al. (2017) proved a Berry--Esseen type result for…

We prove that if a quasiconvex subset $X$ of a metric space $Y$ has finite Nagata dimension and is Lipschitz $k$-connected or admits Euclidean isoperimetric inequalities up to dimension $k$ for some $k$ then $X$ is isoperimetrically…

We develop a new simple approach to prove upper bounds for generalizations of the Heilbronn's triangle problem in higher dimensions. Among other things, we show the following: for fixed $d \ge 1$, any subset of $[0, 1]^d$ of size $n$…

Let X be a real or complex Hilbert space of finite but large dimension d, let S(X) denote the unit sphere of X, and let u denote the normalized uniform measure on S(X). For a finite subset B of S(X), we may test whether it is approximately…

Let $K$ be a maximal lattice-free set in $\mathbb{R}^d$, that is, $K$ is convex and closed subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$, the interior of $K$ does not cointain points of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ and $K$ is inclusion-maximal with respect to the above…

We study the problem of maximizing the $k$-th eigenvalue functional over the class of absolutely continuous measures on a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $m\geq 3$. For dimensions $3 \leq m \leq 6$, we generalize the work of…

The convex dimension of a $k$-uniform hypergraph is the smallest dimension $d$ for which there is an injective mapping of its vertices into $\mathbb{R}^d$ such that the set of $k$-barycenters of all hyperedges is in convex position. We…

Answering a question of F\"uredi and Loeb (1994), we show that the maximum number of pairwise intersecting homothets of a $d$-dimensional centrally symmetric convex body $K$, none of which contains the center of another in its interior, is…

A subset $X$ in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space is called a $k$-distance set if there are exactly $k$ distinct distances between two distinct points in $X$ and a subset $X$ is called a locally $k$-distance set if for any point $x$ in…

In [7], Dong and I proved that the domains $D \subset \mathbb{C}$ of finite volume whose on-diagonal Bergman kernels $K(\cdot, \cdot)$ satisfy $K(z_0, z_0) = Volume(D)^{-1}$ are disks minus closed polar sets. We utilized the solution of the…

Generalizing a result (the case $k = 1$) due to M. A. Perles, we show that any polytopal upper bound sphere of odd dimension $2k + 1$ belongs to the generalized Walkup class ${\cal K}_k(2k + 1)$, i.e., all its vertex links are $k$-stacked…
