The aim of this paper is to highlight recent progress in using conic optimization methods to study geometric packing problems. We will look at four geometric packing problems of different kinds: two on the unit sphere -- the kissing number…

We prove the following three statements: 1) Let $(A, \bar A)$ be a partition of the spherical surface $S^n$ into two measurable sets. Let $st_A$ and $st_{\bar A}$ be their measure density functions of distance. Then $|st_A - st_{\bar A}|$…

The many-body wave scattering problem is studied in the case where the bodies are small, $ka \ll 1$, where $a$ is the characteristic size of a body. The limiting case when $a \to 0$ and the total number of the small bodies is $M = O…

A celebrated result of Beck shows that for any set of $N$ points on $\mathbb{S}^d$ there always exists a spherical cap $B \subset \mathbb{S}^d$ such that number of points in the cap deviates from the expected value $\sigma(B) \cdot N$ by at…

We produce new upper and lower bounds for the s-Frobenius number by relating it to the so called s-covering radius of a certain convex body with respect to a certain lattice; this generalizes a well-known theorem of R. Kannan for the…

Given a Lagrangian sphere in a symplectic 4-manifold $(M, \omega)$ with $b^+=1$, we find embedded symplectic surfaces intersecting it minimally. When the Kodaira dimension $\kappa$ of $(M, \omega)$ is $-\infty$, this minimal intersection…

We investigate perfect codes in $\mathbb{Z}^n$ under the $\ell_p$ metric. Upper bounds for the packing radius $r$ of a linear perfect code, in terms of the metric parameter $p$ and the dimension $n$ are derived. For $p = 2$ and $n = 2, 3$,…
