Let $S \subset {\mathbb R}^d$ be contained in the unit ball. Let $\Delta(S)=\{||a-b||:a,b \in S\}$, the Euclidean distance set of $S$. Falconer conjectured that the $\Delta(S)$ has positive Lebesque measure if the Hausdorff dimension of $S$…

We improve the Peres-Schlag result on pinned distances in sets of a given Hausdorff dimension. In particular, for Euclidean distances, with $$\Delta^y(E) = \{|x-y|:x\in E\},$$ we prove that for any $E, F\subset{\Bbb R}^d$, there exists a…

We present an abstract multiscale analysis scheme for matrix functions $(H_{\varepsilon}(m,n))_{m,n\in \mathfrak{T}}$, where $\mathfrak{T}$ is an Abelian group equipped with a distance $|\cdot|$. This is an extension of the scheme developed…

If $\mu $ is a positive Borel measure on the interval $[0, 1)$, the Hankel matrix $\mathcal H_\mu =(\mu_{n,k})_{n,k\ge 0}$ with entries $\mu_{n,k}=\int_{[0,1)}t^{n+k}\,d\mu(t)$ induces formally the operator $$\mathcal{H}_\mu…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q^d$ be a $d$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $q$ elements. For $x\in \mathbb{F}_q^d$, let $\|x\| = x_1^2+\dots+x_d^2$. By abuse of terminology, we shall call $\|\cdot\|$ a norm on…

For a set $E \subseteq \mathbb{F}_q^d$, the distance set is defined as $\Delta(E) := \{\|\mathbf{x} - \mathbf{y}\| : \mathbf{x}, \mathbf{y} \in E\}$, where $\|\cdot\|$ denotes the standard quadratic form. We investigate the…

We introduce an "$L$-function" $\mathcal{L}$ built up from the integral representation of the Barnes' multiple zeta function $\zeta$. Unlike the latter, $\mathcal{L}$ is defined on a domain equipped with a non-trivial action of a group $G$.…

We investigate the distribution of positive and negative values of Hardy's function $$ Z(t) := \zeta(1/2+it){\chi(1/2+it)}^{-1/2}, \quad \zeta(s) = \chi(s)\zeta(1-s). $$ In particular we prove that $$ \mu\bigl(I_{+}(T,T)\bigr) \;\gg T\;…

Multidimensional integration by parts formulas apply under the standard assumption that one of the functions is continuous and the other has bounded Hardy-Krause variation. Motivated by recently developed results in the probabilistic…

Fix positive integers $a$ and $b$ such that $a> b\geq 2$ and a positive real $\delta>0$. Let $S$ be a planar set of diameter $\delta$ having the following property: for every $a$ points in $S$, at least $b$ of them have pairwise distances…

An essential generalization of the Lebedev index transform with the square of the Macdonald function is investigated. Namely, we consider a family of integral operators with the positive kernel $|K_{(i\tau+\alpha)/2}(x)|^2, \alpha \ge 0,\ x…

One-dimensional and two-dimensional integrals containing $E_b(-u)$ and $E_{\alpha ,\beta }\left(\delta x^{\gamma }\right)$ are considered. $E_b(-u)$ is the Mittag-Leffler function and the integral is taken over the rectangle $0 \leq x <…

An analog of the Falconer distance problem in vector spaces over finite fields asks for the threshold $\alpha>0$ such that $|\Delta(E)| \gtrsim q$ whenever $|E| \gtrsim q^{\alpha}$, where $E \subset {\Bbb F}_q^d$, the $d$-dimensional vector…

Let $\mu$ be a positive Borel measure on the interval $[0,1)$. The Hankel matrix $\mathcal{H}_{\mu}=(\mu_{n,k})_{n,k\geq 0}$ with entries $\mu_{n,k}=\mu_{n+k}$, where $\mu_{n}=\int_{[0,1)}t^nd\mu(t)$, induces formally the operator as…

Let $f\in \mathbb{R}[x, y, z]$ be a quadratic polynomial that depends on each variable and that does not have the form $g(h(x)+k(y)+l(z))$. Let $A, B, C$ be compact sets in $\mathbb{R}$. Suppose that $\dim_H(A)+\dim_H(B)+\dim_H(C)>2$, then…

Let $\phi(x, y)\colon \mathbb{R}^d\times \mathbb{R}^d\to \mathbb{R}$ be a function. We say $\phi$ is a Mattila--Sj\"{o}lin type function of index $\gamma$ if $\gamma$ is the smallest number satisfying the property that for any compact set…

A classical theorem due to Mattila (see \cite{Mat84}; see also \cite{M95}, Chapter 13) says that if $A,B \subset {\Bbb R}^d$ of Hausdorff dimension $s_A, s_B$, respectively, with $s_A+s_B \ge d$, $s_B>\frac{d+1}{2}$ and $dim_{{\mathcal…

We introduce a class of Falconer distance problems, which we call of restricted type, lying between the classical version and its pinned variant. Prototypical restricted distance sets are the diagonal distance sets, $k$-point configuration…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be an arbitrary finite field, and $\mathcal{E}$ be a set of points in $\mathbb{F}_q^d$. Let $\Delta(\mathcal{E})$ be the set of distances determined by pairs of points in $\mathcal{E}$. By using the Kloosterman sums,…
