Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a popular technique for mapping a finite metric space into a low-dimensional Euclidean space in a way that best preserves pairwise distances. We study a notion of MDS on infinite metric measure spaces,…

For a set $A \subset \mathbb{N}$ we characterize in terms of its density when there exists an infinite set $B \subset \mathbb{N}$ and $t \in \{0,1\}$ such that $B+B \subset A-t$, where $B+B : =\{b_1+b_2\colon b_1,b_2 \in B\}$. Specifically,…

Given $d \in \mathbb{N}$, we establish sum-product estimates for finite, non-empty subsets of $\mathbb{R}^d$. This is equivalent to a sum-product result for sets of diagonal matrices. In particular, let $A$ be a finite, non-empty set of $d…

An achievement set of a series is a set of all its subsums. We study the properties of achievement sets of conditionally convergent series in finite dimensional spaces. The purpose of the paper is to answer some of the open problems…

There exists a set $A$ of positive integers such that the number of representations of a large positive integer $m$ as a sum of two elements of $A$ grows with a lower bound of order $\log m$, but for which there is no subset $D$ of $A$…

What is the dimension of spacetime? We address this question in the context of the AdS/CFT Correspondence. We give a prescription for computing the number of large bulk dimensions, $D$, from strongly-coupled CFT$_d$ data, where "large"…

Many problems in additive number theory, such as Fermat's last theorem and the twin prime conjecture, can be understood by examining sums or differences of a set with itself. A finite set $A \subset \mathbb{Z}$ is considered sum-dominant if…

Strongly Turing determinacy, or $\mathrm{sTD}$, says that for any set $A$ of reals, if $\forall x\exists y\geq_T x (y\in A)$, then there is a pointed set $P\subseteq A$. We prove the following consequences of Turing determinacy…

A finite subset $X$ of the Euclidean space is called an $m$-distance set if the number of distances between two distinct points in $X$ is equal to $m$. An $m$-distance set $X$ is said to be maximal if any vector cannot be added to $X$ while…

Diversities are a generalization of metric spaces in which a non-negative value is assigned to all finite subsets of a set, rather than just to pairs of points. Here we provide an analogue of the theory of negative type metrics for…

We analyze sumsets A+B = {a+b : a in A, b in B} where A,B are sets of integers, A is infinite, and B has positive upper Banach density. For each k, we show that A+B contains at least the expected density of k-term arithmetic progressions…

Let $X$ be a $2$-dimensional subshift of finite type generated by a finite set of forbidden blocks (of finite size). We give an algorithm for generating the elements of the shift space using sequence of finite matrices (of increasing size).…

Sum-rank-metric codes have wide applications in universal error correction, multishot network coding, space-time coding and the construction of partial-MDS codes for repair in distributed storage. Fundamental properties of sum-rank-metric…

This article advocates factorized and hybrid dimensional decompositions (FDD/HDD), as alternatives to analysis-of-variance dimensional decomposition (ADD), for second-moment statistical analysis of multivariate functions. New formulae…

For each $s\in \mathbb R$ and $n\in \mathbb N$, let $\sigma_s(n) = \sum_{d\mid n}d^s$. In this article, we give a comparison between $\sigma_s(an+b)$ and $\sigma_s(cn+d)$ where $a$, $b$, $c$, $d$, $s$ are fixed, the vectors $(a,b)$ and…

We show that for every positive integer $k$ there are positive constants $C$ and $c$ such that if $A$ is a subset of $\{1, 2, \dots, n\}$ of size at least $C n^{1/k}$, then, for some $d \leq k-1$, the set of subset sums of $A$ contains a…

A sum-and-distance system is a collection of finite sets of integers such that the sums and differences formed by taking one element from each set generate a prescribed arithmetic progression. Such systems, with two component sets, arise…

Leveraging the intrinsic symmetries in data for clear and efficient analysis is an important theme in signal processing and other data-driven sciences. A basic example of this is the ubiquity of the discrete Fourier transform which arises…

One of the most fundamental topics in subspace coding is to explore the maximal possible value ${\bf A}_q(n,d,k)$ of a set of $k$-dimensional subspaces in $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ such that the subspace distance satisfies $\operatorname{d_S}(U,V) =…

Given $A$ a set of $N$ positive integers, an old question in additive combinatorics asks that whether $A$ contains a sum-free subset of size at least $N/3+\omega(N)$ for some increasing unbounded function $\omega$. The question is generally…
