We discuss two main ways in comparing and evaluating the size of sets: the "Cantorian" way, grounded on the so called Hume principle (two sets have equal size if they are equipotent), and the "Euclidean" way, maintaining Euclid's principle…

The Lagrange and Markov spectra are classical objects in Number Theory related to certain Diophantine approximation problems. Geometrically, they are the spectra of heights of geodesics in the modular surface. These objects were first…

Completely determining the relationship between quantum correlation sets is a long-standing open problem, known as Tsirelson's problem. Following recent progress by Slofstra [arXiv:1606.03140 (2016), arXiv:1703.08618 (2017)] only two…

The third author has shown that Shelah's eventual categoricity conjecture holds in universal classes: class of structures closed under isomorphisms, substructures, and unions of chains. We extend this result to the framework of…

The metrical theory of the product of consecutive partial quotients is associated with the uniform Diophantine approximation, specifically to the improvements to Dirichlet's theorem. Achieving some variant forms of metrical theory in…

We present a detailed Hausdorff dimension analysis of the set of real numbers where the product of consecutive partial quotients in their continued fraction expansion grow at a certain rate but the growth of the single partial quotient is…

It is well-known (see Dvoretzky, Erd{\H o}s and Kakutani [8] and Le Gall [12]) that a planar Brownian motion $(B_t)_{t\ge 0}$ has points of infinite multiplicity, and these points form a dense set on the range. Our main result is the…

A breakthrough result of B\'ar\'any, Hochman and Rapaport published in 2019 established that every self-affine measure on $\mathbb{R}^2$ satisfying certain mild non-degeneracy conditions has Hausdorff dimension equal to its Lyapunov…

We investigate the size and large intersection properties of $$E_{t}=\{x\in\R^d \:|\: \|x-k-x_{i}\|<{r_{i}}^t\text{for infinitely many}(i,k)\in I^{\mu,\alpha}\times\Z^d\},$$ where $d\in\N$, $t\geq 1$, $I$ is a denumerable set,…

A famous theorem of Carleson says that, given any function $f\in L^p(\TT)$, $p\in(1,+\infty)$, its Fourier series $(S_nf(x))$ converges for almost every $x\in \mathbb T$. Beside this property, the series may diverge at some point, without…

We extend the parametric geometry of numbers (initiated by Schmidt and Summerer, and deepened by Roy) to Diophantine approximation for systems of $m$ linear forms in $n$ variables, and establish a new connection to the metric theory via a…

We identify an interesting special class of prime ideals in the finitary infinite symmetric group algebra. We show that the set of such ideals carries a semiring structure. Over the complex numbers, we establish a connection with spherical…

In this work we reproduce the characterization of $\Gg^s$-sets from the euclidean setting [J. London Math. Soc. 49:267-280,1994] to more general metric spaces. These sets have Hausdorff dimension at least $s$ and are closed by countable…
