We describe an efficient way for measuring the concurrence of the hyperentanglement. In this protocol, the hyperentangled state is encoded in both polarization and momentum degrees of freedom. We show that the concurrences of both…

We investigate stationarity and stability of half-spaces as isoperimetric sets for product probability measures, considering the cases of coordinate and non-coordinate half-spaces. Moreover, we present several examples to which our results…

Erd\H{o}s asked what is the maximum number $\alpha(n)$ such that every set of $n$ points in the plane with no four on a line contains $\alpha(n)$ points in general position. We consider variants of this question for $d$-dimensional point…

We study a measure-theoretic notion of connectedness for sets of finite perimeter in the setting of doubling metric measure spaces supporting a weak $(1,1)$-Poincar\'{e} inequality. The two main results we obtain are a decomposition theorem…

This paper shows that in dimensions n \geq 2 for any partition of the set of points in the standard n-sphere \sum_{i=0}^n x_i^2 =1 in R^{n+1} into (n+3) or more nonempty sets, there exists a hyperplane in R^{n+1} that intersects at least…

It is shown that, given a point $x\in\mathbbm{R}^d$, $d\ge 2$, and open sets $U_1,...,U_k$ containing $x$, any convex combination of the harmonic measures for $x$ with respect to $U_n$, $1\le n\le k$, is the limit of a sequence of harmonic…

The Szemer\'edi-Trotter theorem gives a bound on the maximum number of incidences between points and lines on the Euclidean plane. In particular it says that $n$ lines and $n$ points determine $O(n^{4/3})$ incidences. Let us suppose that an…

We consider the action of Mandelbrot multiplicative cascades on probability measures supported on a symbolic space. For general probability measures, we obtain almost a sharp criterion of non-degeneracy of the limiting measure; it relies on…

For $d\geq 2$ and any norm on $\mathbb R^d$, we prove that there exists a set of $n$ points that spans at least $(\tfrac d2-o(1))n\log_2n$ unit distances under this norm for every $n$. This matches the upper bound recently proved by Alon,…

Many symmetric orthogonal polynomials $(P_n(x))_{n\in\mathbb{N}_0}$ induce a hypergroup structure on $\mathbb{N}_0$. The Haar measure is the counting measure weighted with $h(n):=1/\int_\mathbb{R}\!P_n^2(x)\,\mathrm{d}\mu(x)\geq1$, where…

Let $Q$ denote the space of signed measures on the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of a separable complete space $X$. We endow $Q$ with the norm $\|q\|=\sup|\int\phi dq|$, where the supremum is taken over all Lipschitz with constant 1 functions…

Let $K\subset R^n$ be a compact basic semi-algebraic set. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition (with no a priori bounding parameter) for a real sequence $y=(y_\alpha)$, $\alpha\in N^n$, to have a finite representing Borel measure…

For $p$ prime, let $\mathcal{H}^n$ be the linear span of characteristic functions of hyperplanes in $(\mathbb{Z}/p^k\mathbb{Z})^n$. We establish new upper bounds on the dimension of $\mathcal{H}^n$ over $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$, or…

We give a direct proof of a result due to Karasev (2008), Karasev-Matschke (2014) and Schnider-Sober\'on (2023). Given $m+1$ Borel probability measures on the space of affine hyperplanes in a real vector space $V$ of dimension $m+1$, there…

We compute some numerical invariants of the lines on hyperplane sections of a smooth cubic threefold over complex numbers. We also prove that for any smooth hypersurface $X\subset \mathbb P^{n+1}$ of degree $d$ over an algebraically closed…

We prove that if a subset of the d-dimensional vector space over a finite field is large enough, then it contains many k-tuples of mutually orthogonal vectors.

In a recent work of Anderson and Hu, the authors constructed a measure that was $p$-adic and $q$-adic doubling, for any primes $p$ and $q$, yet not doubling. This work relied heavily on a developed number theory framework. Here we develop…

For $n\in \mathbb{N}$ consider the $n$-dimensional hypercube as equal to the vector space $\mathbb{F}_2^n$, where $\mathbb{F}_2$ is the field of size two. Endow $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ with the Hamming metric, i.e., with the metric induced by the…

In geometric measure theory, there is interest in studying the interaction of measures with rectifiable sets. Here, we extend a theorem of Badger and Schul in Euclidean space to characterize rectifiable pointwise doubling measures in…

We study the slices or sections of a convex polytope by affine hyperplanes. We present results on two key problems: First, we provide tight bounds on the maximum number of vertices attainable by a hyperplane slice of $d$-polytope (a sort of…
