The quantity $f(n,r)$, defined as the number of permutations of the set $[n]=\{1,2,... n\}$ whose fixed points sum to $r$, shows a sharp discontinuity in the neighborhood of $r=n$. We explain this discontinuity and study the possible…

We show that there exist only constant morphisms from $\mathbb{Q}^{2n+1}(n\geq 1)$ to $\mathbb{G}(l,2n+1)$ if $l$ is even $(0<l<2n)$ and $(l,2n+1)$ is not $ (2,5)$. As an application, we prove on $\mathbb{Q}^{2m+1}$ and…

We raise and investigate the following problem that one can regard as a very close relative of the densest sphere packing problem. If the Euclidean 3-space is partitioned into convex cells each containing a unit ball, how should the shapes…

We consider density estimators based on the nearest neighbors method applied to discrete point distibutions in spaces of arbitrary dimensionality. If the density is constant, the volume of a hypersphere centered at a random location is…

We consider X 1 ,. .. , X n a sample of data on the circle S 1 , whose distribution is a twocomponent mixture. Denoting R and Q two rotations on S 1 , the density of the X i 's is assumed to be g(x) = pf (R --1 x) + (1 -- p)f (Q --1 x),…

Saturated random packing of particles built of two identical, relatively shifted spheres in two and three dimensional flat and homogeneous space was studied numerically using random sequential adsorption algorithm. The shift between centers…

We prove that square-tiled surfaces having fixed combinatorics of horizontal cylinder decomposition and tiled with smaller and smaller squares become asymptotically equidistributed in any ambient linear $GL(\mathbb R)$-invariant suborbifold…

The scattering of massless fermions on a one-dimensional Q-ball is studied both analytically and numerically in the background field approximation. The wave functions of the fermionic scattering states are found in analytical form. General…

The discrete unitary (reversible) analogues of the continuous (irreversible) tent maps are numerically investigated, in particular, the lengths probability distribution of their periodic orbits. It is found that its density can be well…

We prove that a generic area-preserving diffeomorphism of a compact surface with non-empty boundary has an equidistributed set of periodic orbits. This implies that such a diffeomorphism has a dense set of periodic points, although we also…

We study the Hausdorff distance between a random polytope, defined as the convex hull of i.i.d. random points, and the convex hull of the support of their distribution. As particular examples, we consider uniform distributions on convex…

For a finite planar graph, it associates with some metric spaces, called (regular) spherical polyhedral surfaces, by replacing faces with regular spherical polygons in the unit sphere and gluing them edge-to-edge. We consider the class of…

We study the variance in the number of points contained within a window $\Omega$ of arbitrary size, and to further illuminate our understanding of {\it hyperuniform} systems, i.e., point patterns that do not possess long-wavelength…

Given a surface F, we are interested in Z/2 valued invariants of immersions of F into R^3, which are constant on each connected component of the complement of the quadruple point discriminant in Imm(F,R^3). Such invariants will be called…

Porous media are often modelled as systems of overlapping obstacles, which leads to the problem of two percolation thresholds in such systems, one for the porous matrix and the other one for the void space. Here we investigate these…

Natural q analogues of classical statistics on the symmetric groups $S_n$ are introduced; parameters like: the q-length, the q-inversion number, the q-descent number and the q-major index. MacMahon's theorem about the equi-distribution of…

We show that the set of atoms of the limiting empirical marginal distribution in the random $2$-SAT model is $\mathbb Q \cap (0,1)$, for all clause-to-variable densities up to the satisfiability threshold. While for densities up to $1/2$,…

Let $G=\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})\ltimes\mathbb{Z}^2$ and $H=\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$. We prove that the action $G\curvearrowright\mathbb{R}^2$ is uniformly non-amenable and that the quasi-regular representation of $G$ on $\ell^2(G/H)$ has…

Recently, the second author studied an Eulerian statistic (called cover) in the context of convex polytopes, and proved an equal joint distribution of (cover,des) with (des,exc). In this paper, we present several direct bijective proofs…

In this paper, we give a general formula to determine the quantization coefficients for uniform distributions defined on the boundaries of different regular $m$-sided polygons inscribed in a circle. The result shows that the quantization…
