We establish analogs of Cheeger's inequality for probability measures with heavy tails. As one of the principal applications, suppose $\lambda > 3$ and define the (Pareto) probability measure $\mu_{\lambda}$ on $[1,\infty)$ by…

A central problem in discrete geometry, known as Hadwiger's covering problem, asks what the smallest natural number $N\left(n\right)$ is such that every convex body in ${\mathbb R}^{n}$ can be covered by a union of the interiors of at most…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonempty boundary and $n\geq 2$. Assume that ${\mathrm{Ric}(M)\ge (n-1)K}$ for some ${K>0}$ and that $\partial M$ has nonnegative mean curvature with respect to the outward…

We prove a highly uniform stability or "almost-near" theorem for dual lattices of lattices $L \subseteq \Bbb R^n$. More precisely, we show that, for a vector $x$ from the linear span of a lattice $L \subseteq \Bbb R^n$, subject to…

This work investigates linear precoding over non-singular linear channels with additive white Gaussian noise, with lattice-type inputs. The aim is to maximize the minimum distance of the received lattice points, where the precoder is…

A well-known result of Banaszczyk in discrepancy theory concerns the prefix discrepancy problem (also known as the signed series problem): given a sequence of $T$ unit vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$, find $\pm$ signs for each of them such that…

Dual lattice is an important concept of Euclidean lattices. In 2024, Deng gave the definition to the concept of the dual lattice of a $p$-adic lattice from the duality theory of locally compact abelian groups. He also proved some important…

A recent SICOMP paper on classical and quantum algorithms for the shortest vector problem introduced a lattice-dependent parameter \(\gamma(L)\), bounded universally in the exponential sense by \(2^{0.402n+o(n)}\), and conjectured that this…

For a real $N\ge 1$ and a vector $\xi =(1,\xi_1,...,\xi_n)$ define a matrix $$ {\cal A} (\xi, N) = ({array}{ccccc} N^{-1} & 0& 0& ... &0 \cr N^{\frac{1}{n}} \xi_1 & -N^{\frac{1}{n}} & 0&... & 0 \cr N^{\frac{1}{n}} \xi_2 &0& -N^{\frac{1}{n}}…

It is well-known that for every $N \geq 1$ and $d \geq 1$ there exist point sets $x_1, \dots, x_N \in [0,1]^d$ whose discrepancy with respect to the Lebesgue measure is of order at most $(\log N)^{d-1} N^{-1}$. In a more general setting,…

Let $M_n$ be the minimal position at generation $n$, of a real-valued branching random walk in the boundary case. As $n \to \infty$, $M_n- {3 \over 2} \log n$ is tight (see [1][9][2]). We establish here a law of iterated logarithm for the…
