Let $V=V(n,q)$ denote the vector space of dimension $n$ over the finite field with $q$ elements. A subspace partition ${\mathcal P}$ of $V$ is a collection of nontrivial subspaces of $V$ such that each nonzero vector of $V$ is in exactly…

Frankl--Pach and Erd\H{o}s conjectured that any $(d+1)$-uniform set family $\mathcal{F}\subseteq \binom{[n]}{d+1}$ with VC-dimension at most $d$ has size at most $\binom{n-1}{d}$ when $n$ is sufficiently large. Ahlswede and Khachatrian…

Let $\mathcal{F}_1$ and $\mathcal{F}_2$ be two families of subsets of an $n$-element set. We say that $\mathcal{F}_1$ and $\mathcal{F}_2$ are multiset-union-free if for any $A,B\in \mathcal{F}_1$ and $C,D\in \mathcal{F}_2$ the multisets…

A subset $A$ of a group $G$ is called product-free if there is no solution to $a=bc$ with $a,b,c$ all in $A$. It is easy to see that the largest product-free subset of the symmetric group $S_n$ is obtained by taking the set of all odd…

The normalized separable states of a finite-dimensional multipartite quantum system, represented by its Hilbert space ${\cal H}$, form a closed convex set ${\cal S}_1$. The set ${\cal S}_1$ has two kinds of faces, induced and non-induced.…

For a positive integer n and a subset S of [n-1], the descent polytope DP_S is the set of points x_1, ..., x_n in the n-dimensional unit cube [0,1]^n such that x_i >= x_{i+1} for i in S and x_i <= x_{i+1} otherwise. First, we express the…

In this paper, we provide a formula for the vector space dimension of the ring $\mathbb{F}_2[x,y,z]/(x^{d_1}, y^{d_2},z^{d_3}, x+y+z)$ over $\mathbb{F}_2$ when $d_1,d_2,d_3$ all lie between successive powers of $2$. For general…

If $G$ is a group, we say a subset $S$ of $G$ is product-free if the equation $xy=z$ has no solutions with $x,y,z \in S$. For $D \in \mathbb{N}$, a group $G$ is said to be $D$-quasirandom if the minimal dimension of a nontrivial complex…

The dimension of a poset $P$, denoted $\dim(P)$, is the least positive integer $d$ for which $P$ is the intersection of $d$ linear extensions of $P$. The maximum dimension of a poset $P$ with $|P|\le 2n+1$ is $n$, provided $n\ge2$, and this…

The Frobenius number F(a) of an integer vector a with positive coprime coefficients is defined as the largest number that does not have a representation as a positive integer linear combination of the coefficients of a. We show that if a is…

We consider the problem of finding $A_2(n,\{d_1,d_2\})$ defined as the maximal size of a binary (non-linear) code of length $n$ with two distances $d_1$ and $d_2$. Binary codes with distances $d$ and $d+2$ of size…

Alex Waldron proved that for sufficiently general degree $d$ hypersurfaces in projective $n$-space, the Fano scheme parameterizing $r$-dimensional linear spaces contained in the hypersurface is nonempty precisely for the degree range $n\geq…

In dimension $d$, Mutually Unbiased Bases (MUBs) are a collection of orthonormal bases over $\mathbb{C}^d$ such that for any two vectors $v_1, v_2$ belonging to different bases, the scalar product $|\braket{v_1|v_2}| = \frac{1}{\sqrt{d}}$.…

Let $Q_n$ be the cube of side length one centered at the origin in $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $F$ be an affine $(n-d)$-dimensional subspace of $\mathbb{R}^n$ having distance to the origin less than or equal to $\frac 1 2$, where $0<d<n$. We…

Let $\mathbb{D}$ be a division ring and $\mathbb{F}$ be a subfield of the center of $\mathbb{D}$ over which $\mathbb{D}$ has finite dimension $d$. Let $n,p,r$ be positive integers and $\mathcal{V}$ be an affine subspace of the…

A set of $k$ orthonormal bases of $\mathbb C^d$ is called mutually unbiased if $|\langle e,f\rangle |^2 = 1/d$ whenever $e$ and $f$ are basis vectors in distinct bases. A natural question is for which pairs $(d,k)$ there exist~$k$ mutually…

We show that in a complex d-dimensional vector space, one can find O(d) bases whose elements form a 2-design. Such vector sets generalize the notion of a maximal collection of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs). MUBs have manifold applications…

The dyadic dual VC-dimension of a set system \( \mathcal{F} \) is the largest integer \( \ell \) such that there exist \( \ell \) sets \( F_1, F_{2}, \dots, F_\ell \in \mathcal{F} \), where every pair \( \{i, j\} \in \binom{[\ell]}{2} \) is…

We develop a first-principle approach to compute the counting statistics in the ground-state of $N$ noninteracting spinless fermions in a general potential in arbitrary dimensions $d$ (central for $d>1$). In a confining potential, the Fermi…

Uniform laws of large numbers form a cornerstone of Vapnik--Chervonenkis theory, where they are characterized by the finiteness of the VC dimension. In this work, we study uniform convergence phenomena in cartesian product spaces, under…
