For any prime $p$ and real number and $\alpha$, the $p$-adic Littlewood Conjecture due to de Mathan and Teuli\'e asserts that \[\inf_{|m|\ge1}|m|_p\cdot |m|\cdot |\left\langle\alpha m\right\rangle|=0.\] Above, $|m|$ is the usual absolute…

Let $X \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ be an algebraic variety, and let $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ be a discrete subgroup whose real and complex spans agree. We describe the topological closure of the image of $X$ in $\mathbb{C}^n / \Lambda$,…

The illumination conjecture is a classical open problem in convex and discrete geometry, asserting that every compact convex body~$K$ in $\mathbb R^n$ can be illuminated by a set of no more than $2^n$ points. If $K$ has smooth boundary, it…

Since the invention of the famous LLL algorithm, lattice reduction has been an extremely useful tool in computational number theory. By construction, the LLL algorithm deals with lattices living in a vector space endowed with a positive…

Let $d$ and $k$ be integers with $1 \leq k \leq d-1$. Let $\Lambda$ be a $d$-dimensional lattice and let $K$ be a $d$-dimensional compact convex body symmetric about the origin. We provide estimates for the minimum number of $k$-dimensional…

The Bernstein approximation problem is to determine whether or not the space of all polynomials is dense in a given weighted $C_0$-space on the real line. A theorem of L. de Branges characterizes non--density by existence of an entire…

Let $X=\Lambda\backslash\mathbb{H}$ be a Schottky surface, that is, a conformally compact hyperbolic surface of infinite area. Let $\delta$ denote the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set of $\Lambda$. We prove that for any compact subset…

This article contains two rigidity type results for $\mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{Z})$ for large $n$ that share the same proof. Firstly, we prove that for every $p \in [1,\infty]$ different from $2$, the noncommutative $L^p$-space associated with…

We study strong approximation of the equation N_{L/k}(x) = \prod_{i=1}^n p_i(t) where L/k is a finite extension of number fields and p_i(t)'s are distinct irreducible polynomials over k. We prove this equation satisfies strong approximation…

We develop a probabilistic algorithm of Kronecker type for computing a Kronecker representation of a zero-dimensional linear section of an algebraic variety $V$ defined over a perfect field $k$. The variety $V$ is the Zariski closure of the…

Let $P(n)$ be the number of polyominoes of $n$ cells and $\lambda$ be Klarner's constant, that is, $\lambda=\lim_{n\to\infty} \sqrt[n]{P(n)}$. We show that there exist some positive numbers $A,T$, so that for every $n$ \[ P(n) \ge…

We prove several cases of Zimmer's conjecture for actions of higher-rank cocompact lattices on low dimensional manifolds. For example, if $\Gamma$ is a cocompact lattice in $\mathrm{Sl}(n, \mathbb R)$, $M$ is a compact manifold, and…

Given a lattice $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, we consider its Minkowski reduced basis and the solid angle $\Omega$ spanned by the basis vectors. Such a basis satisfies strong near-orthogonality conditions, which allow us to bound from…

A while ago MLC (the conjecture that the Mandelbrot set is locally connected) was proven for quasi-hyperbolic points by Douady and Hubbard, and for boundaries of hyperbolic components by Yoccoz. More recently Yoccoz proved MLC for all at…

We give an optimal version of the classical ``three-gap theorem'' on the fractional parts of $n \theta$, in the case where $\theta$ is an irrational number that is badly approximable. As a consequence, we deduce a version of Kronecker's…
