In this article we prove a conjecture of Bezdek, Brass, and Harborth concerning the maximum volume of the convex hull of any facet-to-facet connected system of n unit hypercubes in the d-dimensional Euclidean space. For d=2 we enumerate the…

We show that among any $n$ points in the unit cube one can find a triangle of area at most $n^{-2/3-c}$ for some absolute constant $c >0$. This gives the first non-trivial upper bound for the three-dimensional version of Heilbronn's…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a plane singular curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. The linear system of plane curves of a given degree passing through the singularities of $\cF$ provides potentially good bounds for the number of points…

Let V be a finite set of points in Euclidean d-space (d >= 2). The intersection of all unit balls B(v,1) centered at v, where v ranges over V, henceforth denoted by B(V) is the ball polytope associated with V. Note that B(V) is non-empty…

For an irreducible conic $\mathcal C$ in a Desarguesian plane of odd square order, estimating the number of points from a Baer subplane which are external to $\mathcal C$ is a natural problem. In this paper, a complete list of possibilities…

We prove that a rational pseudointegral triangle with exactly one lattice point in its interior has at most $9$ lattice points on its boundary, where a polygon $P$ is called pseudointegral if the Ehrhart function of $P$ is a polynomial. We…

The convex hull peeling of a point set is obtained by taking the convex hull of the set and repeating iteratively the operation on the interior points until no point remains. The boundary of each hull is called a layer. We study the number…

In this work we prove the following result: Let $K$ be a strictly convex body in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n, n\geq 3$, and let $L$ be a hypersurface, which is the image of an embedding of the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$, such that $K$…

We present a barycentric decomposition for quantum instruments whose output space is finite-dimensional and input space is separable. As a special case, we obtain a barycentric decomposition for channels between such spaces and for…

The classical honeycomb conjecture asserts that any partition of the plane into regions of equal area has perimeter at least that of the regular hexagonal honeycomb tiling. Pappus discusses this problem in his preface to Book V. This paper…

Consider a complete Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$ and optimal transport problems on it with cost functions of the form $c(x,y) = h(d_{{g}}(x,y))$. We study the absolute continuity of the corresponding generalized Wasserstein barycenters of…

The section volume function $A_K(\xi,t), \ \xi \in \mathbb R^n, \ t \in \mathbb R,$ of a body $K \subset \mathbb R^n$ evaluates the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of the cross-section $K$ by the hyperplane $\{ x \cdot \xi=t \}.$ We are…

We show that for any finite set $P$ of points in the plane and $\epsilon>0$ there exist $\displaystyle O\left(\frac{1}{\epsilon^{3/2+\gamma}}\right)$ points in ${\mathbb{R}}^2$, for arbitrary small $\gamma>0$, that pierce every convex set…

Let $f\colon X\to Y$ be a $\sigma$-perfect $k$-dimensional surjective map of metrizable spaces such that $\dim Y\leq m$. It is shown that, for every positive integer $p\geq 1$ there exists a dense $G_{\delta}$-subset ${\mathcal H}(k,m,p)$…

A polytope $P$ is circumscribed about a convex body $\Phi\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ if $\Phi\subset P$ and each facet of $P$ is contained in a support hyperplane of $\Phi$. We say that a convex body $\Phi\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is a rotor of a…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a packing of circular disks of radius $\rho>0$ in the Euclidean, spherical, or hyperbolic plane. Let $0\leq\lambda\leq\rho$. We say that $\mathcal{P}$ is a $\lambda$-separable packing of circular disks of radius $\rho$…

We establish new geometric inequalities comparing the volumes of sections and projections of a convex body, whose barycenter or Santal\'o point is at the origin, with those of its inner and outer regularizations. We also provide functional…

We establish a strong law of large numbers and a central limit theorem in the Bures-Wasserstein space of covariance operators -- or equivalently centred Gaussian measures -- over a general separable Hilbert space. Specifically, we show that…

We say that a finite set of red and blue points in the plane in general position can be $K_{1,3}$-covered if the set can be partitioned into subsets of size $4$, with $3$ points of one color and $1$ point of the other color, in such a way…

In this short note we study two questions about the existence of subgraphs of the hypercube $Q_n$ with certain properties. The first question, due to Erd\H{o}s--Hamburger--Pippert--Weakley, asks whether there exists a bounded degree…
