We introduce a reduction from the distinct distances problem in ${\mathbb R}^d$ to an incidence problem with $(d-1)$-flats in ${\mathbb R}^{2d-1}$. Deriving the conjectured bound for this incidence problem (the bound predicted by the…
Pointwise convergence of spherical averages is proved for a measure-preserving action of a Fuchsian group. The proof is based on a new variant of the Bowen-Series symbolic coding for Fuchsian groups that, developing a method introduced by…
Let $\mathcal{L}$ be the sub-Laplacian on H-type groups and $\phi: \mathbb{R}^+ \to \mathbb{R}$ be a smooth function. The primary objective of the paper is to study the decay estimate for a class of dispersive semigroup given by…
We study an extension of the Falconer distance problem in the multiparameter setting. Given $\ell\geq 1$ and $\mathbb{R}^{d}=\mathbb{R}^{d_1}\times\cdots \times\mathbb{R}^{d_\ell}$, $d_i\geq 2$. For any compact set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$…
We establish a unified Frostman-type framework connecting the classical Hausdorff dimension with the family of intermediate dimensions $\dim_\theta$ recently introduced by Falconer, Fraser and Kempton. We define a new geometric quantity…
We study the mixing time of the Swendsen-Wang dynamics for the ferromagnetic Ising and Potts models on the integer lattice ${\mathbb Z}^d$. This dynamics is a widely used Markov chain that has largely resisted sharp analysis because it is…
A fundamental problem in spherical distance geometry aims to recover an $n$-tuple of points on a 2-sphere in $\mathbb{R}^3$, viewed up to oriented isometry, from $O(n)$ input measurements. We solve this problem using algorithms that employ…
Let $(M,g)$ be a compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold without boundary and $e_\lambda$ be an $L^2$-normalized eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator with respect to the metric $g$, i.e \[ -\Delta_g e_\lambda = \lambda^2…
The core idea of stochastic stability is that thermodynamic observables must be robust under small (random) perturbations of the quenched Gibbs measure. Combining this idea with the cavity field technique, which aims to measure the free…
Let $\S$ be a commutative semigroup with identity $e$ and let $\Gamma$ be a compact subset in the pointwise convergence topology of the space $\S'$ of all non-zero multiplicative functions on $\S.$ Given a continuous function $F: \Gamma \to…
We consider the critical points of Steklov eigenfunctions on a compact, smooth $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ with boundary $\partial M$. For generic metrics on $M$ we establish an identity which relates the sum of the indexes of a…
The Erd\H{o}s distinct distance problem is a ubiquitous problem in discrete geometry. Somewhat less well known is Erd\H{o}s' distinct angle problem, the problem of finding the minimum number of distinct angles between $n$ non-collinear…
We obtain improved local well-posedness results for the Lorentzian timelike minimal surface equation. In dimension $d=3$, for a surface of arbitrary co-dimension, we show a gain of $1/3$ derivative regularity compared to a generic equation…
We prove that for any bounded convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, the function \begin{equation*} \psi_\Omega(\xi) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^n\setminus\Omega} \frac{\mathrm{d}x}{|x-\xi|^{2n}}, \quad \xi\in\Omega, \end{equation*} has…
We extend a result, due to Mattila and Sjolin, which says that if the Hausdorff dimension of a compact set $E \subset {\Bbb R}^d$, $d \ge 2$, is greater than $\frac{d+1}{2}$, then the distance set $\Delta(E)=\{|x-y|: x,y \in E \}$ contains…
This paper is aimed to study the ergodic short-term behaviour of discretizations of circle expanding maps. More precisely, we prove some asymptotics of the distance between the $t$-th iterate of Lebesgue measure by the dynamics $f$ and the…
We generalize aspects of Fourier Analysis from intervals on $\mathbb{R}$ to bounded and measurable subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$. In doing so, we obtain a few interesting results. The first is a new proof of the famous Integral Cauchy-Schwarz…
For one-dimension Brownian motion in the confined system with the size $L$, the mean-squared displacement(MSD) defined by $\left \langle (x-x_0)^2 \right\rangle$ should be proportional to $t^{\alpha(t)}$. The power $\alpha(t)$ should range…
We show that if compact set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ has Hausdorff dimension larger than $\frac{d}{2}+\frac{1}{4}$, where $d\geq 4$ is an even integer, then the distance set of $E$ has positive Lebesgue measure. This improves the previously…
In this paper, we use algorithmic tools, effective dimension and Kolmogorov complexity, to study the fractal dimension of distance sets. We show that, for any analytic set $E\subseteq\R^2$ of Hausdorff dimension strictly greater than one,…
