We investigate, by "a la Marcinkiewicz" techniques applied to the (asymptotic) density function, how dense systems of equal spheres of $\rb^{n}, n \geq 1,$ can be partitioned at infinity in order to allow the computation of their density as…

The problem of finding the asymptotic behavior of the maximal density of sphere packings in high Euclidean dimensions is one of the most fascinating and challenging problems in discrete geometry. One century ago, Minkowski obtained a…

Given $0 < s < 1$, I prove that there exists a constant $\epsilon = \epsilon(s) > 0$ such that the following holds. Let $K \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ be a Borel set with $\mathcal{H}^{1}(K) > 0$, and let $E_{s}(K) \subset S^{1}$ be the…

Consider the problem of finding a point in a unit $n$-dimensional $\ell_p$-ball ($p\ge 2$) such that the minimum of the weighted Euclidean distance from given $m$ points is maximized. We show in this paper that the recent…

We prove $L^p$ bounds in the range $1<p<\infty$ for a maximal dyadic sum operator on $\rn$. This maximal operator provides a discrete multidimensional model of Carleson's operator. Its boundedness is obtained by a simple twist of the proof…

We show that an Ahlfors $d$-regular set $E$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ is uniformly rectifiable if the set of pairs $(x,r)\in E\times (0,\infty)$ for which there exists $y \in B(x,r)$ and $0<t<r$ satisfying $\mathscr{H}^{d}_{\infty}(E\cap…

We prove sphere packing density bounds in hyperbolic space (and more generally irreducible symmetric spaces of noncompact type), which were conjectured by Cohn and Zhao and generalize Euclidean bounds by Cohn and Elkies. We work within the…

We prove a new upper bound on the essential p-dimension of the projective linear group PGLn.

Data subsampling is one of the most natural methods to approximate a massively large data set by a small representative proxy. In particular, sensitivity sampling received a lot of attention, which samples points proportional to an…

This is the first in a series of papers giving a proof of the Kepler conjecture, which asserts that the density of a packing of congruent spheres in three dimensions is never greater than $\pi/\sqrt{18}\approx 0.74048...$. This is the…

We improve by an exponential factor the best known asymptotic upper bound for the density of sets avoiding 1 in Euclidean space. This result is obtained by a combination of an analytic bound that is an analogue of Lovasz theta number and of…

Using graph-theoretic methods we give a new proof that for all sufficiently large $n$, there exist sphere packings in $\R^n$ of density at least $cn2^{-n}$, exceeding the classical Minkowski bound by a factor linear in $n$. This matches up…

For $p$ being a large prime number, and $A \subset \mathbb{F}_p$ we prove the following: $(i)$ If $A(A+A)$ does not cover all nonzero residues in $\mathbb{F}_p$, then $|A| < p/8 + o(p)$. $(ii)$ If $A$ is both sum-free and satisfies $A =…

In this paper, we study the $L^p(\mathbb{R}^2)$-improving bounds, i.e., $L^p(\mathbb{R}^2)\rightarrow L^q(\mathbb{R}^2)$ estimates, of the maximal function $M_{\gamma}$ along a plane curve $(t,\gamma(t))$, where…

In this article we obtain linear programming bounds for the maximal sphere packing density of commutative spaces. A special case of our results solves a conjecture by Cohn and Zhao on linear programming bounds for sphere packings in…

We report a recent developement on the theory of upper conical densities. More precicely, we look at what can be said in this respect for other measures than just the Hausdorff measure. We illustrate the methods involved by proving a result…

We study the asymptotic expansion for the Landau constants $G_n$, \begin{equation*} \pi G_{n}\sim \ln(16N)+\gamma+\sum^{\infty}_{k=1}\frac{\alpha_k}{N^k} ~~\mbox{as} ~ n\rightarrow\infty, \end{equation*} where $N=n+1$, and $\gamma$ is…
