The Lovasz Local Lemma (LLL) is a powerful tool in probability theory to show the existence of combinatorial objects meeting a prescribed collection of "weakly dependent" criteria. We show that the LLL extends to a much more general…

A Gabor system in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$, generated by a window $g\in L^2(\mathbb{R})$ and associated with a sequence of times and frequencies $\Gamma\subset\mathbb{R}^2$, is a set formed by translations in time and modulations of $g$. In this…

Furstenberg, Katznelson and Weiss proved in the early 1980s that every measurable subset of the plane with positive density at infinity has the property that all sufficiently large real numbers are realised as the Euclidean distance between…

Let $\Lambda$ be a subgroup of an arithmetic lattice in SO(n+1,1). The quotient $\mathbb{H}^{n+1} / \Lambda$ has a natural family of congruence covers corresponding to primes in some ring of integers. We establish a super-strong…

In this paper we study the common distance between points and the behavior of a constant length step discrete random walk on finite area hyperbolic surfaces. We show that if the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian is at least 1/4,…

We determine the distance (up to a multiplicative constant) in the Zygmund class $\Lambda_{\ast}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ to the subspace $\mathrm{J}(\mathbf{bmo})(\mathbb{R}^n).$ The latter space is the image under the Bessel potential $J :=…

We derive the equation of matter density perturbations on sub-horizon scales around a flat Friedmann-Lema\^\i tre-Robertson-Walker background for the general Lagrangian density $f(R,\GB)$ that is a function of a Ricci scalar $R$ and a…

We prove universal lower bounds for discrepancies (i.e. sizes of spectral gaps of averaging operators) of measure-preserving actions of a locally compact group on probability spaces. For example, a locally compact Hausdorff unimodular group…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple real Lie group with finite center, and $\mu$ a probability measure on $G$ whose support generates a Zariski-dense subgroup of $G$. We consider the right $\mu$-random walk on $G$ and show that each random…

A crucial step in the history of General Relativity was Einstein's adoption of the principle of general covariance which demands a coordinate independent formulation for our spacetime theories. General covariance helps us to disentangle a…

In this note we find $\lambda>1$ and give an explicit construction of a separable Banach space $X$ such that there is no $\lambda$-Lipschitz retraction from $X$ onto any compact convex subset of $X$ whose closed linear span is $X$. This is…

Suppose that $Q$ is a weak$^{\ast }$ compact convex subset of a dual Banach space with the Radon-Nikod\'{y}m property. We show that if $(S,Q)$ is a nonexpansive and norm-distal dynamical system, then there is a fixed point of $S$ in $Q$ and…

In the standard formulation of relativistic quantum field theory, a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded structure is assumed to realize locality and the boson-fermion dichotomy. While $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-graded extensions are known to be allowed at the…

We study the harmonic measure (i.e. the limit of the hitting distribution of a simple random walk starting from a distant point) on three canonical two-dimensional lattices: the square lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$, the triangular lattice…

We present a systematic quantization scheme for bounded symplectic domains of the form $D \times G \subset T^\ast G$, where $D \subset \mathfrak{g}^\ast$ is a bounded region defined by algebraic inequalities and $G$ is a compact Lie group…

We prove the following conjecture recently formulated by Jakobson, Nadirashvili and Polterovich \cite{JNP}: For any Riemannian metric $g$ on the Klein bottle $\mathbb{K}$ one has $$\lambda\_1 (\mathbb{K}, g) A (\mathbb{K}, g)\le 12 \pi…

In this paper, we examine the cosmological viability of a slow moving galileon field in a potential. The Lagrangian $\cal{L}$ $ =-\frac{1}{2}g^{\mu\nu}\pi_{;\mu}\pi_{;\nu} +\frac{G^{\mu\nu}}{2M^2}\pi_{;\mu}\pi_{;\nu}$ respects the galileon…

We study Lipschitz-free spaces over compact and uniformly discrete metric spaces enjoying certain high regularity properties - having group structure with left-invariant metric. Using methods of harmonic analysis we show that, given a…

We consider isometric actions of lattices in semisimple algebraic groups on (possibly non-compact) homogeneous spaces with (possibly infinite) invariant Radon measure. We assume that the action has a dense orbit, and demonstrate two novel…

We show that compact Riemannian manifolds, regarded as metric spaces with their global geodesic distance, cannot contain a number of rigid structures such as (a) arbitrarily large regular simplices or (b) arbitrarily long sequences of…
