We prove that there exist positive constants $C$ and $c$ such that for any integer $d \ge 2$ the set of ${\mathbf x}\in [0,1)^d$ satisfying $$ cN^{1/2}\le \left|\sum^N_{n=1}\exp\left (2 \pi i \left (x_1n+\ldots+x_d n^d\right)\right)…

Let $F$ be a Bedford-McMullen carpet defined by independent exponents. We prove that $\overline{\dim}_B (\ell \cap F) \leq \max \lbrace \dim^* F -1,0 \rbrace$ for all lines $\ell$ not parallel to the principal axes, where $\dim^*$ is…

The depinning of an elastic line interacting with a quenched disorder is studied for long range interactions, applicable to crack propagation or wetting. An ultrametric distance is introduced instead of the Euclidean distance, allowing for…

The Erd\H os unit distance conjecture in the plane says that the number of pairs of points from a point set of size $n$ separated by a fixed (Euclidean) distance is $\leq C_{\epsilon} n^{1+\epsilon}$ for any $\epsilon>0$. The best known…

This paper relates to the Fourier decay properties of images of self-similar measures $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^k$ under nonlinear smooth maps $f \colon \mathbb{R}^k \to \mathbb{R}$. For example, we prove that if the linear parts of the…

We prove that for $1\le k<d$, if $E$ is a Borel subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ of Hausdorff dimension strictly larger than $k$, the set of $(k+1)$-volumes determined by $k+2$ points in $E$ has positive one-dimensional Lebesgue measure. In the…

We study empirical variants of the halfspace (Tukey) depth of a probability measure $\mu$, which are obtained by replacing $\mu$ with the corresponding weighted empirical measure. We prove analogues of the Marcinkiewicz--Zygmund strong law…

We extend a theorem of the second author on the $L^q$-dimensions of dynamically driven self-similar measures from the real line to arbitrary dimension. Our approach provides a novel, simpler proof even in the one-dimensional case. As…

Let $S$ be a subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ with finite positive Lebesgue measure. The Beer index of convexity $\operatorname{b}(S)$ of $S$ is the probability that two points of $S$ chosen uniformly independently at random see each other in $S$.…

We prove a structure theorem for any $n$-rectifiable set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n\ge 1$, satisfying a weak version of the lower ADR condition, and having locally finite $H^n$ ($n$-dimensional Hausdorff) measure. Namely, that…

We prove that for any singular measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ it is possible to cover $\mu$-almost every point with $n$ families of Lipschitz slabs of arbitrarily small total width. More precisely, up to a rotation, for every $\delta>0$…

We study some variants of the Erd\H{o}s similarity problem. We pose the question if every measurable subset of the real line with positive measure contains a similar copy of an infinite geometric progression. We construct a compact subset…

We prove that if the Hausdorff dimension of a compact set $E \subset {\Bbb R}^2$ is greater than 7/4, then the set of {\ag three-point configurations determined by $E$ has positive three-dimensional measure}. We establish this by showing…

Let $M$ be a separable metric space. We say that $f=(f_n):M\to c_0$ is a good-$\lambda$-embedding if, whenever $x,y\in M$, $x\ne y$ implies $d(x,y)\le\Vert f(x)-f(y)\Vert$ and, for each $n$, $Lip(f_n)<\lambda$, where $Lip(f_n)$ denotes the…

We introduce a one-parameter family of Borel regular measures on $\mathbb{R}^n$ that enhances Lebesgue measure by incorporating a scale-invariant penalty for codimension-1 boundary structures. Utilizing Carath\'eodory's outer measure…

We present a (combinatorial) algorithm with running time close to $O(n^d)$ for computing the minimum directed $L_\infty$ Hausdorff distance between two sets of $n$ points under translations in any constant dimension $d$. This substantially…

We prove some basic theorems concerning lemniscate configurations in an Euclidean space of dimension $ n \geq 3$. Lemniscates are defined as follows. Given m points $w_j $ in $\mathbb R^n$, consider the function $F(x)$ which is the product…

It is well known, that Fr\'echet means on non-Euclidean spaces may exhibit nonstandard asymptotic rates depending on curvature. Even for distributions featuring standard asymptotic rates, there are non-Euclidean effects, altering finite…

A theorem of Steinhaus states that if $E\subset \mathbb R^d$ has positive Lebesgue measure, then the difference set $E-E$ contains a neighborhood of $0$. Similarly, if $E$ merely has Hausdorff dimension $\dim_{\mathcal H}(E)>(d+1)/2$, a…
