Let $\Lambda$ be a lattice in $\R^n$, and let $Z\subseteq \R^{m+n}$ be a definable family in an o-minimal structure over $\R$. We give sharp estimates for the number of lattice points in the fibers $Z_T={x\in \R^n: (T,x)\in Z}$. Along the…
This paper is a continuation of an earlier one, and completes a classification of the configurations of points in a plane lattice that determine angles that are rational multiples of ${\pi}$. We give a complete and explicit description of…
In this paper we address the problem of finding well approximating lattices for a given finite set $A$ of points in ${\mathbb R}^n$. More precisely, we search for $\v{o},\v{d_1}, \dots,\v{d_n}\in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $\v{a}-\v{o}$ is…
We seek for lines of minimal distance to finitely many points in the plane. The distance between a line and a set of points is defined by the L^p-norm, 1\leq p\leq \infty, of the vector of vertical or orthogonal distances from the single…
Planar point sets with many triple lines (which contain at least three distinct points of the set) have been studied for 180 years, started with Jackson and followed by Sylvester. Green and Tao has shown recently that the maximum possible…
In a recent paper, C. Gambicchia and A. Pratelli proved a quantitative isoperimetric inequality involving the isoperimetric deficit $\delta(K)$ and the barycentric distance $\lambda_0(K)$ for sets $K\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ with given diameter…
We study a variant of the Erd\H os unit distance problem, concerning angles between successive triples of points chosen from a large finite point set. Specifically, given a large finite set of $n$ points $E$, and a sequence of angles…
We study a variant of Erd\H os' unit distance problem, concerning dot products between successive pairs of points chosen from a large finite point set. Specifically, given a large finite set of $n$ points $E$, and a sequence of nonzero dot…
We establish an error estimate for counting lattice points in Euclidean norm balls (associated to an arbitrary irreducible linear representation) for lattices in simple Lie groups of real rank at least two. Our approach utilizes refined…
A Lattice is a partially ordered set where both least upper bound and greatest lower bound of any pair of elements are unique and exist within the set. K\"{o}tter and Kschischang proved that codes in the linear lattice can be used for error…
We give a shorter proof of a slightly weaker version of a theorem of Nets Katz and the author. We prove that if a set of $L$ lines in $\mathbb{R}^3$ contains at most $L^{1/2}$ lines in any low degree algebraic surface, then the number of…
We improve the best known upper bound on the number of edges in a unit-distance graph on $n$ vertices for each $n\in\{16,\ldots,30\}$. When $n\leq 21$, our bounds match the best known lower bounds, and we fully enumerate the densest…
In this paper, we show that the maximum number of points in $d\geq3$ dimensions determining exactly 2 distinct triangles is $2d$. We further show that this maximum is uniquely achieved by the vertices of the $d$-orthoplex. We build upon the…
In this paper we obtain a new lower bound on the Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem in the plane over prime fields. More precisely, we show that for any set $A\subset \mathbb{F}_p^2$ with $|A|\le p^{7/6}$, the number of distinct distances…
Enumeration of various types of lattice polygons and in particular polyominoes is of primary importance in many machine learning, pattern recognition, and geometric analysis problems. In this work, we develop a large deviation principle for…
This paper mainly focuses on cones whose basis is a maximum $h$-scattered linear set. We start by investigating the intersection sizes of such cones with the hyperplanes. Then we analyze two constructions of point sets with few intersection…
We investigate minimal-perimeter configurations of two finite sets of points on the square lattice. This corresponds to a lattice version of the classical double-bubble problem. We give a detailed description of the fine geometry of…
A convex set with nonempty interior is maximal lattice-free if it is inclusion-maximal with respect to the property of not containing integer points in its interior. Maximal lattice-free convex sets are known to be polyhedra. The precision…
For a finite point set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and a connected graph $G$ on $k+1$ vertices, we define a $G$-framework to be a collection of $k + 1$ points in E such that the distance between a pair of points is specified if the…
We prove a sharp bound for the remainder term of the number of lattice points inside a ball, when averaging over a compact set of (not necessarily unimodular) lattices, in dimensions two and three. We also prove that such a bound cannot…
