Let $K\subset\mathbb R^d$ be a compact subset equipped with a $\delta$-Ahlfors regular measure $\mu$. For any $\tau>1/d$ and any ``inhomogeneous'' vector $\boldsymbol{\theta}\in\mathbb R^d$, let $W_d(\psi_\tau,\boldsymbol{\theta})$ denote…

It has been recently understood that the harmonic measure on the boundary $E = \partial \Omega$ of a domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is absolutely continuous with respect to the Hausdorff measure $\mathcal{H}^{n - 1}$ on $E$ if and only…

Given a target set $A\subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ and a real number $\beta\in (0,1)$, McMullen introduced the notion of $A$ being an absolutely $\beta$-winning set. This involves a two player game which we call the $\beta$-McMullen game. We…

In this article, we prove a lower bound for the Hausdorff dimension of the set of exactly $\psi$-approximable vectors with values in a local field of positive characteristic. This is the analogue of the corresponding theorem of Bandi and de…

Schmidt's game, and other similar intersection games have played an important role in recent years in applications to number theory, dynamics, and Diophantine approximation theory. These games are real games, that is, games in which the…

By using a multiscale analysis, we establish quantitative versions of the Besicovitch projection theorem (almost every projection of a purely unrectifiable set in the plane of finite length has measure zero) and a standard companion result,…

We prove that the Witt vector affine Grassmannian, which parametrizes W(k)-lattices in W(k)[1/p]^n for a perfect field k of charactristic p, is representable by an ind-(perfect scheme) over k. This improves on previous results of Zhu by…

In a $(1:b)$ biased Maker-Breaker game, how good a strategy is for a player can be measured by the bias range for which its rival can win, choosing an appropriate counterstrategy. Bednarska and {\L}uczak proved that, in the $H$-subgraph…

We show that fractal percolation sets in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ almost surely intersect every hyperplane absolutely winning (HAW) set with full Hausdorff dimension. In particular, if $E\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}$ is a realization of a fractal…

Let $\lambda_\mathbb{K}(m)$ denote the maximal absolute projection constant over the subspaces of dimension $m$. Apart from the trivial case for $ m=1$, the only known value of $\lambda_\mathbb{K}(m)$ is for $ m=2$ and…

The convex grabbing game is a game where two players, Alice and Bob, alternate taking extremal points from the convex hull of a point set on the plane. Rational weights are given to the points. The goal of each player is to maximize the…

For an m by n real matrix A, we investigate the set of badly approximable targets for A as a subset of the m-torus. It is well known that this set is large in the sense that it is dense and has full Hausdorff dimension. We investigate the…

This paper concerns two-player alternating play combinatorial games (Conway 1976) in the normal-play convention, i.e. last move wins. Specifically, we study impartial vector subtraction games on tuples of nonnegative integers (Golomb 1966),…

We develop and study a theory of optimal transport for vector measures. We resolve in the negative a conjecture of Klartag, that given a vector measure on Euclidean space with total mass zero, the mass of any transport set is again zero. We…

Let $X$ be a projective toric variety of dimension $n$ and let $L$ be a ample line bundle on $X$. For $k \geq 0$, it is in general difficult to determine whether $L^{\otimes k}$ is very ample and whether it additionally gives a projectively…

Let $h(B_d)$ denote the space of real-valued harmonic functions on the unit ball $B_d$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\ge 2$. Given a radial weight $w$ on $B_d$, consider the following problem: construct a finite family $\{f_1, f_2, \dots, f_J\}$ in…

For a compact set $K\subset \mathbb{R}^1$ and a family $\{C_\lambda\}_{\lambda\in J}$ of dynamically defined Cantor sets sufficiently close to affine with $\text{dim}_H\, K+\text{dim}_H\, C_\lambda>1$ for all $\lambda\in J$, under natural…

We consider a class of nonlocal games that are related to binary constraint systems (BCSs) in a manner similar to the games implicit in the work of Mermin [N.D. Mermin, "Simple unified form for the major no-hidden-variables theorems," Phys.…

In view of the complexity of the dynamics of learning in games, we seek to decompose a game into simpler components where the dynamics' long-run behavior is well understood. A natural starting point for this is Helmholtz's theorem, which…

For any real pair i, j geq 0 with i+j=1 let Bad(i, j) denote the set of (i, j)-badly approximable pairs. That is, Bad(i, j) consists of irrational vectors x:=(x_1, x_2) in R^2 for which there exists a positive constant c(x) such that max…
