For all $1<p<\infty$ and $N\ge 2$ we prove that there is a constant $\alpha(p,N)>0$ such that the $p$-harmonic measure in $\R^N_+$ of a ball of radius $0 < \delta \leq 1$ in $\R^{N-1}$ is bounded above and below by a constant times $\delta…

We study the size (or volume) of balls in the metric space of permutations, $S_n$, under the infinity metric. We focus on the regime of balls with radius $r = \rho \cdot (n\!-\!1)$, $\rho \in [0,1]$, i.e., a radius that is a constant…

In this paper we investigate algebraic, differential and asymptotic properties of polynomials $p_n(x)$ that are orthogonal with respect to the complex oscillatory weight $w(x)=e^{i\omega x}$ on the interval $[-1,1]$, where $\omega>0$. We…

We prove that the $D_4$ root system (the set of vertices of the regular $24$-cell) is the unique optimal kissing configuration in $\mathbb R^4$, and is an optimal spherical code. For this, we use semidefinite programming to compute an exact…

The restricted $h$-connectivity of a graph $G$, denoted by $\kappa^h(G)$, is defined as the minimum cardinality of a set of vertices $F$ in $G$, if exists, whose removal disconnects $G$ and the minimum degree of each component of $G-F$ is…

We study stable immersed capillary hypersurfaces $\Sigma$ in domains B of R n+1 bounded by hyperplanes. When B is a half-space, we show $\Sigma$ is a spherical cap. When B is a domain bounded by k hyperplanes P 1 ,. .. , P k , 2 $\le$ k…

Let $G$ be a graph, $C$ a longest cycle in $G$ and $\overline{p}$, $\overline{c}$ the lengths of a longest path and a longest cycle in $G\backslash C$, respectively. Almost all lower bounds for the circumference base on a standard…

The Lovasz theta function provides a lower bound for the chromatic number of finite graphs based on the solution of a semidefinite program. In this paper we generalize it so that it gives a lower bound for the measurable chromatic number of…

Let $P$ be a convex polygon in a Hadamard surface $M$ with curvature $K$ satisfying $-k_2^2 \ge K \ge -k_1^2$. We give an upper bound of the circumradius of $P$ in terms of a lower bound of the curvature of $P$ at its vertices.

A kissing sphere is a sphere that is tangent to a fixed reference ball. We develop in this paper a distance geometry for kissing spheres, which turns out to be a generalization of the classical Euclidean distance geometry.

We derive various sharp upper bounds for the $p$-capacity of a smooth compact set $K$ in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$ and the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$. Firstly, using the inverse mean curvature flow, for the mean convex and…

We study paracontact metric $(\kappa,\mu)$-spaces with $\kappa=-1$, equivalent to $h^2=0$ but not $h=0$. In particular, we will give an alternative proof of Theorem 3.2 of [11] and present examples of paracontact metric $(-1,2)$-spaces and…

Given a sphere of any radius $r$ in an $n$-dimensional Euclidean space, we study the coverings of this sphere with solid spheres of radius one. Our goal is to design a covering of the lowest covering density, which defines the average…

A covering code is a subset $\mathcal{C} \subseteq \{0,1\}^n$ with the property that any $z \in \{0,1\}^n$ is close to some $c \in \mathcal{C}$ in Hamming distance. For every $\epsilon,\delta>0$, we show a construction of a family of codes…

It is shown that the smallest possible distance between two disjoint lattice polytopes contained in the cube $[0,k]^3$ is exactly $$ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2(2k^2-4k+5)(2k^2-2k+1)}} $$ for every integer $k$ at least $4$. The proof relies on…

We improve the previously best known upper bounds on the sizes of $\theta$-spherical codes for every $\theta<\theta^*\approx 62.997^{\circ}$ at least by a factor of $0.4325$, in sufficiently high dimensions. Furthermore, for sphere packing…

In this paper, we consider hypergeometric SLE process for $\kappa\in (4,8)$ and $\nu>\frac{\kappa}{2}-6$. Though the definition of hypergeometric SLE process is complicated, we show that given its hitting point on a specific boundary, its…

In this paper, let $n\geq2$ be an integer, $P=diag(-I_{n-\kappa},I_\kappa,-I_{n-\kappa},I_\kappa)$ for some integer $\kappa\in[0, n)$, and $\Sigma \subset {\bf R}^{2n}$ be a partially symmetric compact convex hypersurface, i.e., $x\in…
