We have discovered a "little" gap in our proof of the sharp conjecture that in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with volume and perimeter densities $r^m$ and $r^k$, balls about the origin are uniquely isoperimetric if $0 < m \leq k - k/(n+k-1)$, that is, if…
The hexagon is the least-perimeter tile in the Euclidean plane. On hyperbolic surfaces, the isoperimetric problem differs for every given area. Cox conjectured that a regular $k$-gonal tile with 120-degree angles is isoperimetric for its…
We prove versions of Goldbach conjectures for Gaussian primes in arbitrary sectors. Fix an interval $\omega \subset \mathbb{T}$. There is an integer $N_\omega $, so that every odd integer $n$ with $N(n)>N_\omega $ and $\text{dist}(…
We study isoperimetric problems with respect to infinite measures on $R ^n$. In the case of the measure $\mu$ defined by $d\mu = e^{c|x|^2} dx$, $c\geq 0$, we prove that, among all sets with given $\mu-$measure, the ball centered at the…
In the previous paper, Takahasi and the authors generalized the theory of minimal surfaces in Euclidean n-space to that of surfaces with holomorphic Gauss map in certain class of non-compact symmetric spaces. It also includes the theory of…
The discrete isoperimetric inequality in Euclidean geometry states that among all $n$-gons having a fixed perimeter $p$, the one with the largest area is the regular $n$-gon. The statement is true in spherical geometry and hyperbolic…
We investigate a combinatorial game on $\omega_1$ and show that mild large cardinal assumptions imply that every normal ideal on $\omega_1$ satisfies a weak version of precipitousness. As an application, we show that that the…
The paper is devoted to some extremal problems for convex polygons on the Euclidean plane, related to the concept of self Chebyshev radius for the polygon boundary. We consider a general problem of minimization of the perimeter among all…
The discrete isoperimetric inequality states that among all n -gons with a fixed area, the regular n -gon has the least perimeter. We prove analogues of the discrete isoperimetric inequality (involving circumradius or inradius) for cyclic…
Litvak (2018) conjectured that, for any $p > 0$, the quantity $\mathbb{E}[\min_{i = 1}^n |g_i|^p]$ where $g \sim \mathcal{N}(0, \Sigma)$ is a centered Gaussian random vector is minimized among $n \times n$ correlation matrices $\Sigma$ by…
Given a bounded $C^2$ domain $\Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^d$ with $d\geq3$, we prove a sharp inequality which relates the perimeter of ${\partial\Omega}$ to the endpoint Gagliardo seminorm in $W^{r,2}({\partial\Omega})$, corresponding to…
The Unique Games Conjecture (UGC) constitutes a highly dynamic subarea within computational complexity theory, intricately linked to the outstanding P versus NP problem. Despite multiple insightful results in the past few years, a proof for…
In a previous article Don Bennett and I looked for, found and proposed a game in which the Standard Model Gauge Group $S(U(2) \times U(3))$ gets singled out as the "winner". This "game" means that the by Nature chosen gauge group should be…
The multi-bubble isoperimetric conjecture in $n$-dimensional Euclidean and spherical spaces from the 1990's asserts that standard bubbles uniquely minimize total perimeter among all $q-1$ bubbles enclosing prescribed volume, for any $q \leq…
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 $120^\circ$…
We investigate the existence of solutions to viscous ergodic Mean Field Games systems in bounded domains with Neumann boundary conditions and local, possibly aggregative couplings. In particular we exploit the associated variational…
Parsimonious games are a subset of constant sum homogeneous weighted majority games unequivocally described by their free type representation vector. We show that the minimal winning quota of parsimonious games satisfies a second order,…
A simple graph more often than not contains adjacent vertices with equal degrees. This in particular holds for all pairs of neighbours in regular graphs, while a lot such pairs can be expected e.g. in many random models. Is there a…
A $\lambda$-convex body in a three-dimensional space form $M^3(c)$ of constant curvature $c$ is a compact convex set $K$ whose boundary $\partial K$ has normal curvatures bounded below by a constant $\lambda>0$ (in a weak sense). Within…
We consider a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^3$ with sufficiently smooth boundary and prove piecewise Sobolev regularity of vector fields that have piecewise regular curl and divergence, but may be discontinuous across…
