It is well known that the orbit of a lattice in hyperbolic $n$-space is uniformly distributed when projected radially onto the unit sphere. In the present work, we consider the fine-scale statistics of the projected lattice points, and…

We consider a planar convex body $C$ and we prove several analogs of Roth's theorem on irregularities of distribution. When $\partial C$ is $\mathcal{C}% ^{2}$ regardless of curvature, we prove that for every set $\mathcal{P}_{N}$ of $N$…

If $\Gamma$ is any nonuniform lattice in the group ${\rm PU}(2,1)$, let $\overline{\Gamma}$ be the quotient of $\Gamma$ obtained by filling the cusps of $\Gamma$ (i.e. killing the center of parabolic subgroups). Assuming that such a lattice…

For a convex body B in three-dimensional Euclidean space, which is invariant under rotations around one coordinate axis and has a smooth boundary of bounded nonzero curvature, the lattice point discrepancy (number of integer points minus…

We prove an estimate for the number of lattice points lying in certain non-convex Euclidean domains of interest in Diophantine approximation. As an application, we generalise a result of Kruse (1964) concerning the almost sure order of…

For a fixed $b\in\mathbb{N}=\{1,2,3,\ldots\}$ we say that a point $(r,s)$ in the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z}$ is $b$-visible from the origin if it lies on the graph of a power function $f(x)=ax^b$ with $a\in\mathbb{Q}$ and…

In this paper we explicitly estimate the number of points in a subset $A \subset \R^{d}$ as a function of the maximum angle $\angle A$ that any three of these points form, provided $\angle A < \theta_d := \arccos(-\frac 1 {d}) \in…

Let $(P,\leq)$ be a finite poset (partially ordered set), where $P$ has cardinality $n$. Consider linear extensions of $P$ as permutations $x_1x_2\cdots x_n$ in one-line notation. For distinct elements $x,y\in P$, we define…

We consider the set of points in infinitely many max-norm annuli centred at rational points in $\mathbb R^{n}$. We give Jarn\'ik-Besicovitch type theorems for this set in terms of Hausdorff dimension. Interestingly, we find that if the…

Steinhaus proved that given a~positive integer $n$, one may find a circle surrounding exactly $n$ points of the integer lattice. This statement has been recently extended to Hilbert spaces by Zwole\'{n}ski, who replaced the integer lattice…

Many star bodies have convex subsets with approximately the same Gaussian measure (of the complement). Inspired by this phenomenon, and in connection with the randomized Dvoretzky theorem for Lorentz spaces, we derive bounds on the…

We show that for any sufficiently large integer $Q$ and a real $0\leq\lambda\leq\frac34$ there exists a value $c(n,f,J)>0$ such that all strips $L(Q,\lambda)=\{(x,y):|y-f(x)|<Q^{-\lambda}, x\in J=[a,b]\}$ contain at least $c(n, f,…

Let $G$ be $PGL(n,F)$, $n \geq 3$, $F$ a certain non-archimedean local field; or let $G$ be $PSL(2,\mathbb{R}) \times \cdots \times PSL(2,\mathbb{R})$. Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in $G$, and let $( \Lambda_n )$ be a sequence of lattices in…

We give a shorter proof of a slightly weaker version of a theorem of Nets Katz and the author. We prove that if a set of $L$ lines in $\mathbb{R}^3$ contains at most $L^{1/2}$ lines in any low degree algebraic surface, then the number of…

We prove that on a punctured oriented surface with Euler characteristic chi < 0, the maximal cardinality of a set of essential simple arcs that are pairwise non-homotopic and intersecting at most once is 2|chi|(|chi|+1). This gives a cubic…

We prove that any $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^2$, not all on a line or circle, determine at least $\frac{1}{4}n^2-O(n)$ ordinary circles (circles containing exactly three of the $n$ points). The main term of this bound is best possible for…

We study site percolation on lattices confined to a semi-infinite strip. For triangular and square lattices we find that the probability that a cluster touches the three sides of such a system at the percolation threshold has the continuous…

Let $M_n$ denote the largest interpoint distance among independent random points $X_1,\dots,X_n$ uniformly distributed in a compact set in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Weak limit laws for $M_n$ are known in several geometric settings, in particular for…

For $\Gamma$ a cocompact or cofinite Fuchsian group, we study the lattice point problem on the Riemann surface $\Gamma\backslash\mathbb{H}$. The main asymptotic for the counting of the orbit $\Gamma z$ inside a circle of radius $r$ centered…

A star of n (n greater than or equal to 2) line segments (needles) of equal length with common endpoint and constant angular spacing is randomly placed onto a lattice which is the union of two families of equidistant lines in the plane with…
