Given a set of points $P \subset \mathbb F_q^2$ such that $|P|\geq q^{3/2}$ it is established that $|P|$ determines $\Omega(q^2)$ distinct perpendicular bisectors. It is also proven that, if $|P| \geq q^{4/3}$, then for a positive…

We study a variant of the Erd\H os unit distance problem, concerning angles between successive triples of points chosen from a large finite point set. Specifically, given a large finite set of $n$ points $E$, and a sequence of angles…

We show that if a compact set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ has Hausdorff dimension larger than $\frac{d}{2}+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{8d+4}$, where $d\geq 3$, then there is a point $x\in E$ such that the pinned distance set $\Delta_x(E)$ has positive…

We are interested to bound from below the number of distinct dot products determined by a finite set of points $P$ in the Euclidean plane. In this paper, we build on the work of B. Hanson, O. Roche-Newton, and S. Senger, to obtain the…

We prove that the arithmetic degree of a graded or local ring is bounded above by the arithmetic degree of any of its associated graded rings with respect to ideals $I$ in $A$. In particular, if $Spec (A)$ is equidimensional and has an…

For $ E\subset \mathbb{F}_q^d$, let $\Delta(E)$ denote the distance set determined by pairs of points in $E$. By using additive energies of sets on a paraboloid, Koh, Pham, Shen, and Vinh (2020) proved that if $E,F\subset \mathbb{F}_q^d $…

In this paper, we study the Erd\H{o}s-Falconer distance problem in five dimensions for sets of Cartesian product structures. More precisely, we show that for $A\subset \mathbb{F}_p$ with $|A|\gg p^{\frac{13}{22}}$, then…

This paper is a step in our program for proving the Piece-Birkhoff Conjecture for regular rings of any dimension (this would contain, in particular, the classical Pierce-Birkhoff conjecture which deals with polynomial rings over a real…

In this paper, we study the cardinality of the distance set $\Delta(A, B)$ determined by two subsets $A$ and $B$ of the $d$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Assuming that $A$ or $B$ lies in a $k$-coordinate plane…

In this article, we study two problems concerning the size of the set of finite point configurations generated by a compact set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$. The first problem concerns how the Lebesgue measure or the Hausdorff dimension of the…

Given two points $p,q$ in the real plane, the signed area of the rectangle with the diagonal $[pq]$ equals the square of the Minkowski distance between the points $p,q$. We prove that $N>1$ points in the Minkowski plane $\R^{1,1}$ generate…

The {\em bottleneck distance} is a natural measure of the distance between two finite point sets of equal cardinality, defined as the minimum over all bijections between the point sets of the maximum distance between any pair of points put…

In this paper we shall give a short proof of the result originally obtained by Ashutosh Kumar that for each $A\subset \mathbb{R}$ there exists $B\subset A$ full in $A$ such that no distance between two distinct points from $B$ is rational.…

We derive an upper bound for the Assouad dimension of visible parts of self-similar sets generated by iterated function systems with finite rotation groups and satisfying the open set condition. The bound is valid for all visible parts and…

Michalski gave a short and elegant proof of a theorem of A. Kumar which states that for each set A in R, there exists a subset B of A which is full in A and such that no distance between points in B is a rational number. He also proved a…

We prove that a well-distributed subset of R^2 can have a separated distance set only if the distance is induced by a polygon.

We obtain bounds on the number of triples that determine a given pair of dot products arising in a vector space over a finite field or a module over the set of integers modulo a power of a prime. More precisely, given $E\subset \mathbb…

We investigate the size of the distance set determined by two subsets of finite dimensional vector spaces over finite fields. A lower bound of the size is given explicitly in terms of cardinalities of the two subsets. As a result, we…

A celebrated result due to Wolff says if $E$ is a compact subset of ${\Bbb R}^2$, then the Lebesgue measure of the distance set $\Delta(E)=\{|x-y|: x,y \in E \}$ is positive if the Hausdorff dimension of $E$ is greater than $\frac{4}{3}$.…

It is shown that every measurable partition ${A_1,..., A_k}$ of $\mathbb{R}^3$ satisfies $$\sum_{i=1}^k||\int_{A_i} xe^{-\frac12||x||_2^2}dx||_2^2\le 9\pi^2.\qquad(*)$$ Let ${P_1,P_2,P_3}$ be the partition of $\mathbb{R}^2$ into $120^\circ$…
