We prove essentially sharp incidence estimates for a collection of $\delta$-tubes and $\delta$-balls in the plane, where the $\delta$-tubes satisfy an $\alpha$-dimensional spacing condition and the $\delta$-balls satisfy a…

We give a variety of uniqueness results for minimal ellipsoids circumscribing and maximal ellipsoids inscribed into a convex body. Uniqueness follows from a convexity or concavity criterion on the function used to measure the size of the…

We study sets of $\delta$ tubes in $\mathbb{R}^3$, with the property that not too many tubes can be contained inside a common convex set $V$. We show that the union of tubes from such a set must have almost maximal volume. As a consequence,…

This paper considers an extremal version of the Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem. For a point set $P \subset \mathbb R^d$, let $\Delta(P)$ denote the set of all Euclidean distances determined by $P$. Our main result is the following: if…

We confirm a conjecture of Guth concerning the maximal number of $\delta$-tubes, with $\delta$-separated directions, contained in the $\delta$-neighborhood of a real algebraic variety. Modulo a factor of $\delta^{-\varepsilon}$, we also…

We show that if a collection of lines in a vector space over a finite field has "dimension" at least 2(d-1) + beta, then its union has "dimension" at least d + beta. This is the sharp estimate of its type when no structural assumptions are…

We prove analogues of the Szemer\'edi-Trotter theorem and other incidence theorems using $\delta$-tubes in place of straight lines, assuming that the $\delta$-tubes are well-spaced in a strong sense.

We prove sharp inequalities for the average number of affine diameters through the points of a convex body $K$ in ${\mathbb R}^n$. These inequalities hold if $K$ is either a polytope or of dimension two. An example shows that the proof…

We consider a generalization of the hyperplane problem to arbitrary measures in place of volume and to sections of lower dimensions. We prove this generalization for unconditional convex bodies and for duals of bodies with bounded volume…

We consider the problem of lower bounding a generalized Minkowski measure of subsets of a convex body with a log-concave probability measure, conditioned on the set size. A bound is given in terms of diameter and set size, which is sharp…

For the distance function from any closed subset of any complete Finsler manifold, we prove that the singular set is equal to a countable union of delta-convex hypersurfaces up to an exceptional set of codimension two. In addition, in…

We prove new versions of the isomorphic Busemann-Petty problem for two different measures and show how these results can be used to recover slicing and distance inequalities. We also prove a sharp upper estimate for the outer volume ratio…

A subset of the finite dimensional hypercube is said to be equilateral if the distance of any two distinct points equals a fixed value. The equilateral dimension of the hypercube is defined as the maximal size of its equilateral subsets. We…

Define an outer measure on R^n by taking the infimum, over all covers of the set by tubes, of the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the tubes. We show that the only measurable sets for this outer measure are its null sets and their…

In its vast majority entanglement verification is examined either in the complete characterized or totally device independent scenario. The assumptions imposed by these extreme cases are often either too weak or strong for real experiments.…

We show the uniqueness of the radial centers of any order $\alpha$ of a parallel body of a convex body $\Omega$ in $\mathbb R^m$ at distance $\delta$ if $\delta$ is greater than the diameter of $\Omega$ multiplied by a constant which…

Tube formulas (by which we mean an explicit formula for the volume of an $\epsilon$-neighbourhood of a subset of a suitable metric space) have been used in many situations to study properties of the subset. For smooth submanifolds of…

We give a new proof of the discretized ring theorem for sets of real numbers. As a special case, we show that if $A\subset\mathbb{R}$ is a $(\delta,1/2)_1$-set in the sense of Katz and Tao, then either $A+A$ or $A.A$ must have measure at…

We study the $\delta$-discretized Szemer\'edi-Trotter theorem and Furstenberg set problem. We prove sharp estimates for both two problems assuming tubes satisfy some spacing condition. For both two problems, we construct sharp examples that…

In this paper we prove the following results in the plane. They are related to each other, while each of them has its own interest. First we obtain an $\epsilon_0$-increment on intersection between pencils of $\delta$-tubes, under…
