Unbiased random vectors i.e. distributed uniformly in n-dimensional space, are widely applied and the computational cost of generating a vector increases only linearly with n. On the other hand, generating uniformly distributed random…

The beta polytope $P_{n,d}^\beta$ is the convex hull of $n$ i.i.d. random points distributed in the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^d$ according to a density proportional to $(1-\lVert{x}\rVert^2)^{\beta}$ if $\beta>-1$ (in particular, $\beta=0$…

The convex hull peeling of a point set consists in taking the convex hull, then removing the extreme points and iterating that procedure until no point remains. The boundary of each hull is called a layer. Following on from [15], we study…

We study vectors chosen at random from a compact convex polytope in $\mathbb{R}^n$ given by a finite number of linear constraints. We determine which projections of these random vectors are asymptotically normal as $n\to\infty$. Marginal…

We find new bounds on the conformal dimension of small cancellation groups. These are used to show that a random few relator group has conformal dimension 2+o(1) asymptotically almost surely (a.a.s.). In fact, if the number of relators…

We study the geometry of centrally-symmetric random polytopes, generated by $N$ independent copies of a random vector $X$ taking values in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We show that under minimal assumptions on $X$, for $N \gtrsim n$ and with high…

Two-dimensional random tilings of rhombi can be seen as projections of two-dimensional membranes embedded in hypercubic lattices of higher dimensional spaces. Here, we consider tilings projected from a $D$-dimensional space. We study the…

Let $r=r(n)$ be a sequence of integers such that $r\leq n$ and let $X_1,\ldots,X_{r+1}$ be independent random points distributed according to the Gaussian, the Beta or the spherical distribution on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Limit theorems for the…

Credal sets are one of the most important models for describing probabilistic uncertainty. They usually arise as convex sets of probabilistic models compatible with judgments provided in terms of coherent lower previsions or more specific…

A d-cone is the shape one obtains when pushing an elastic sheet at its center into a hollow cylinder. In a simple model, one can treat the elastic sheet in the deformed configuration as a developable surface with a singularity at the tip of…

Let $X_1,\dots,X_n$ be independent centered random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$. This paper shows that, even when $d$ may grow with $n$, the probability $P(n^{-1/2}\sum_{i=1}^nX_i\in A)$ can be approximated by its Gaussian analog uniformly in…

For every dimension d, there is an infinite family of convex co-compact reflection groups of isometries of hyperbolic d-space --- the superideal (simplicial and cubical) reflection groups --- with the property that a random group at any…

Let $X_1,X_2, \ldots $ be independent random uniform points in a bounded domain $A \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ with smooth boundary. Define the coverage threshold $R_n$ to be the smallest $r$ such that $A$ is covered by the balls of radius $r$…

The structure of maximal faces of the cone of completely positive matrices is still not well understood in higher dimensions, mainly due to the lack of a general characterization of extreme exposed rays of the copositive cone beyond small…

Consider a stationary Poisson process of horospheres in a $d$-dimensional hyperbolic space. In the focus of this note is the total surface area these random horospheres induce in a sequence of balls of growing radius $R$. The main result is…

Let $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ be independent random points that are distributed according to a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and let $P_n$ be the random convex hull generated by $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ ($n\geq d+1$). Natural classes of probability…

We propose a novel codimension-n holography, called cone holography, between a gravitational theory in $(d+1)$-dimensional conical spacetime and a CFT on the $(d+1-n)$-dimensional defects. Similar to wedge holography, the cone holography…

Let $x_1,\ldots ,x_N$ be independent random points distributed according to an isotropic log-concave measure $\mu $ on ${\mathbb R}^n$, and consider the random polytope $$K_N:={\rm conv}\{ \pm x_1,\ldots ,\pm x_N\}.$$ We provide sharp…

A $(d,k)$-set is a subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ containing a $k$-dimensional unit ball of all possible orientations. Using an approach of D.~Oberlin we prove various Fourier dimension estimates for compact $(d,k)$-sets. Our main interest is in…

Sometimes, it is possible to represent a complicated polytope as a projection of a much simpler polytope. To quantify this phenomenon, the extension complexity of a polytope $P$ is defined to be the minimum number of facets of a (possibly…
