We investigate the set of $x \in S^1$ such that for every positive integer $N$, the first $N$ points in the orbit of $x$ under rotation by irrational $\theta$ contain at least as many values in the interval $[0,1/2]$ as in the complement.…

For a bivariate $P(x,y) \in \mathbb{R}[x,y]\setminus (\mathbb{R}[x] \cup \mathbb{R}[y])$, our first result shows that for all finite $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}$, $|P(A,A)|\geq \alpha|A|^{5/4}$ with $\alpha =\alpha(\mathrm{deg} P) \in…

We define certain natural finite sums of $n$'th roots of unity, called $G_P(n)$, that are associated to each convex integer polytope $P$, and which generalize the classical $1$-dimensional Gauss sum $G(n)$ defined over $\mathbb Z/ {n…

We show that, for any $0<\gamma<1/2$, any $(\alpha,\beta)\in\mathbb{R}^2$ except on a set with Hausdorff dimension about $\sqrt{\gamma}$, any small $0<\varepsilon<1$ and any large $N\in\mathbb{N}$, the number of integers $n\in[1,N]$ such…

Let $X$ be a convex cocompact hyperbolic surface, and let $\delta$ denote the Hausdorff dimension of its limit set. Let $N_X(\sigma,T)$ denote the number of resonances of $X$ inside the box $[\sigma, \delta] + i[0,T]$. We prove that for all…

We extend a result, due to Mattila and Sjolin, which says that if the Hausdorff dimension of a compact set $E \subset {\Bbb R}^d$, $d \ge 2$, is greater than $\frac{d+1}{2}$, then the distance set $\Delta(E)=\{|x-y|: x,y \in E \}$ contains…

We extend classical results of Bridgeman-Taylor and McMullen on the Hessian of the Hausdorff dimension on quasi-Fuchsian space to the class of (1,1,2)-hyperconvex representations, a class introduced in arXiv:1902.01303 which includes small…

Let X be a normed space. A subset A of X is approximately convex if $d(ta+(1-t)b,A) \le 1$ for all $a,b \in A$ and $t \in [0,1]$ where $d(x,A)$ is the distance of $x$ to $A$. Let $\Co(A)$ be the convex hull and $\diam(A)$ the diameter of…

We prove that any set $A\subset \mathbb{N}$ of positive upper density contains a finite $S\subset A$ such that $\sum_{n\in S}\frac{1}{n}=1$, answering a question of Erd\H{o}s and Graham.

We prove a deterministic analogue of Rudelson's sampling theorem for sums of positive semidefinite matrices. Let $A_1,\dots,A_m$ be positive semidefinite \(d\times d\) matrices, and let $\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_m \ge 0$ satisfy \[…

Let $\{X_n= e^{2\pi i \theta_n}\}$ be a sequence of Steinhaus random variables, where $\theta_n$ are independent and uniformly distributed on $[0,1]$. We compute the almost sure Hausdorff dimension of the images and graphs of the random…

Given an integer $N\ge 2$ and a real number ${\beta}>1$, let $\Gamma_{{\beta},N}$ be the set of all $x=\sum_{i=1}^\infty {d_i}/{{\beta}^i}$ with $d_i\in\{0,1,\cdots,N-1\}$ for all $i\ge 1$. The infinite sequence $(d_i)$ is called a…

Uniform asymptotic expansions are derived for the zeros of the reverse generalized Bessel polynomials of large degree $n$ and real parameter $a$. It is assumed that $-\Delta_{1} n+\frac{3}{2} \leq a \leq \Delta_{2} n$ for fixed arbitrary…

Motivated by questions asked by Erdos, we prove that any set $A\subset{\mathbb N}$ with positive upper density contains, for any $k\in{\mathbb N}$, a sumset $B_1+\cdots+B_k$, where $B_1,\dots,B_k\subset{\mathbb N}$ are infinite. Our proof…

Given a $k$-self similar set $X\subset [0,1]^{d}$ we calculate both its Hausdorff dimension and its entropy, and show that these two quantities are in fact equal. This affirmatively resolves a conjecture of Adamczewski and Bell.

We establish sharp bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of sets of irrational numbers in $(0,1)$ whose digits in the $N$-expansion are either uniformly bounded or tend to infinity. For sets with digits bounded by an integer $M \ge N$, we…

This paper extends some results of [M5] and [M3], in particular, removing assumptions of positive lower density. We give conditions on a general family $P_{\lambda}:\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R}^{m}, \lambda \in \Lambda,$ of orthogonal…

We investigate the Lebesgue measure, Hausdorff dimension, and Fourier dimension of sets of the form $RY + Z, $ where $R \subseteq (0,\infty)$ and $Y, Z \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$. We prove a theorem on the Lebesgue measure and Hausdorff…

This paper studies the asymptotic properties of weighted sums of the form $Z_n=\sum_{i=1}^n a_i X_i$, in which $X_1, X_2, \ldots, X_n$ are i.i.d.~random variables and $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n$ correspond to either eigenvalues or singular…

We study dimensions of sumsets and iterated sumsets and provide natural conditions which guarantee that a set $F \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ satisfies $\overline{\dim}_\text{B} F+F > \overline{\dim}_\text{B} F$ or even $\dim_\text{H} n F \to 1$.…
