A set in $\mathbb R^d$ is called almost-equidistant if for any three distinct points in the set, some two are at unit distance apart. First, we give a short proof of the result of Bezdek and L\'angi claiming that an almost-equidistant set…

A badly approximable system of affine forms is determined by a matrix and a vector. We show Kleinbock's conjecture for badly approximable systems of affine forms: for any fixed vector, the set of badly approximable systems of affine forms…

In a countably normed space which is a linear space equipped with a countable number of pair-wise compatible norms, we prove the existence of a common nearest point (in all norms) from a point outside a nonempty subset if this subset is…

The simplex was conjectured to be the extremal convex body for the two following "problems of asymmetry":\\ P1) What is the minimal possible value of the quantity $\max_{K'} |K'|/|K|$? Here, $K'$ ranges over all symmetric convex bodies…

According to Suk's breakthrough result on the Erdos-Szekeres problem, any point set in general position in the plane, which has no $n$ elements that form the vertex set of a convex $n$-gon, has at most $2^{n+O\left({n^{2/3}\log n}\right)}$…

A $1$-Lipschitz map $f$ from a convex compact set to itself has fixed points. This consequence of Brouwer's or Schauder's fixed point theorem has more elementary proofs by approximating $f$ by $\lambda$-contractions, $f_\lambda$. We study…

We prove that for two-component maps in dimension two, rank-one convexity is equivalent to quasiconvexity. The essential tool for the proof is a fixed-point argument for a suitable set-valued map going from one component to the other that…

Evenly convex sets in a topological vector space are defined as the intersection of a family of open half spaces. We introduce a generalization of this concept in the conditional framework and provide a generalized version of the bipolar…

We establish some new common fixed point theorems of single-valued and multivalued mappings operating between complete ordered locally convex spaces under weaker assumptions. As an application, we prove a new minimax theorem of existence of…

We introduce complex intersection bodies and show that their properties and applications are similar to those of their real counterparts. In particular, we generalize Busemann's theorem to the complex case by proving that complex…

In this survey we present the history and recent progress on several fundamental (quasi)conformal uniformization problems in the complex plane. Uniformization refers to the process of mapping a space to a canonical model by means of a…

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…

To every convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, one may associate a minimal matrix convex set $\mathcal{W}^{\textrm{min}}(K)$, and a maximal matrix convex set $\mathcal{W}^{\textrm{max}}(K)$, which have $K$ as their ground level. The main…

The relative equilibria of planar Newtonian $N$-body problem become coorbital around a central mass in the limit when all but one of the masses becomes zero. We prove a variety of results about the coorbital relative equilibria, with an…

Let us say that an element of a given family $\A$ of subsets of $\R^d$ can be reconstructed using $n$ test sets if there exist $T_1,...,T_n \subset \R^d$ such that whenever $A,B\in \A$ and the Lebesgue measures of $A \cap T_i$ and $B \cap…

In the classical best approximation pair (BAP) problem, one is given two nonempty, closed, convex and disjoint subsets in a finite- or an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, and the goal is to find a pair of points, each from each subset,…

Suppose $k\nmid n$ and $H$ is an $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraph. A near perfect matching in $H$ is a matching of size $\lfloor n/k\rfloor$. We give a divisibility barrier construction that prevents the existence of near perfect matchings…

The well-known Reifenberg theorem states that if a subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be well approximated by $k$-planes at every point and every scale, then it is biH\"older homeomorphic to a $k$-disk. This article concerns a subset $S$ of…

For a given partially ordered set (poset) and a given family of mappings of the poset into itself, we study the problem of the description of joint fixed points of this family. Well-known Tarski's theorem gives the structure of the set of…

We study the problem of reconstructing a positive discrete measure on a compact set $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ from a finite set of moments (possibly known only approximately) via convex optimization. We give new uniqueness results, new…
