We explain how to deduce from the multi-height analysis of rational points on a toric stack (respectively on a toric variety) the asymptotic study of the number of rational points of bounded orbifold anticanonical height (respectively…

Let $f \in Q(z)$ be a polynomial or rational function of degree 2. A special case of Morton and Silverman's Dynamical Uniform Boundedness Conjecture states that the number of rational preperiodic points of $f$ is bounded above by an…

This paper investigates existence of the nonstandard Pade approximants introduced by Cherkaev and Zhang in J. Comp. Phys. 2009 for approximating the spectral function of composites from effective properties at different frequencies. The…

Estimation of linear functionals from observed data is an important task in many subjects. Juditsky & Nemirovski [The Annals of Statistics 37.5A (2009): 2278-2300] propose a framework for non-parametric estimation of linear functionals in a…

We derive some lower bounds in rational approximation of given degree to functions in the Hardy space $H^2$ of the disk. We apply these to asymptotic errors rates in approximation to Blaschke products and to Cauchy integrals on geodesic…

Let $M$ be the Shimura variety associated to the group of spinor similitudes of a quadratic space over $\mathbb{Q}$ of signature $(n,2)$. We prove a conjecture of Bruinier and Yang, relating the arithmetic intersection multiplicities of…

We solve the problem of giving sharp asymptotic bounds on the Hausdorff dimensions of certain sets of badly approximable matrices, thus improving results of Broderick and Kleinbock (preprint 2013) as well as Weil (preprint 2013), and…

We establish Marstrand-type as well as Besicovich-Federer-type projection theorems for closest-point projections onto hyperplanes in the normed space $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. In particular, we prove that if a norm on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ is…

We propose a series of metrics between pairs of signals, linear systems or rational spectra, based on optimal transport and linear-systems theory. The metrics operate on the locations of the poles of rational functions and admit very…

We present a survey of the many and various elements of the modern higher-dimensional theory of quasiconformal mappings and their wide and varied application. It is unified (and limited) by the theme of the author's interests. Thus we will…

In this paper we study a family of limsup sets that are defined using iterated function systems. Our main result is an analogue of Khintchine's theorem for these sets. We then apply this result to the topic of intrinsic Diophantine…

In this work, we use the notion of ``symmetry'' of functions for an extension $K/L$ of finite fields to produce extensions of a function field $F/K$ in which almost all places of degree one split completely. Then we introduce the notion of…

We prove a lower bound that agrees with Manin's prediction for the number of rational points of bounded height on the Fermat cubic surface. As an application we provide a simple counterexample to Manin's conjecture over the rationals.

We consider Marstrand type projection theorems for closest-point projections in the normed space $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove that if a norm on $\mathbb{R}^2$ is regular enough, then the analogues of the well-known statements from the Euclidean…

We give the first examples of derived equivalences between varieties defined over non-closed fields where one has a rational point and the other does not. We begin with torsors over Jacobians of curves over Q and F_q(t), and conclude with a…

Given some non-Archimedean field $\mathbb{K}$ and some $\mathbb{K}$-linear space $X$, the usual way to define a norm over $X$ involves the {\em ultrametric inequality} $\|x+y\|\leq\max\{\|x\|,\|y\|\}$. In this note we will try to analyse…

We consider the problem of simultaneous approximation of real numbers $\theta_1, \ldots,\theta_n$ with rationals and the dual problem of approximating zero with the values of the linear form $x_0+\theta_1x_1+\ldots+\theta_nx_n$ at integer…

Let $\cal C$ be a non--degenerate planar curve and for a real, positive decreasing function $\psi$ let $\cal C(\psi)$ denote the set of simultaneously $\psi$--approximable points lying on $\cal C$. We show that $\cal C$ is of Khintchine…

Human similarity judgments are inconsistent with Euclidean, Hamming, Mahalanobis, and the majority of measures used in the extensive literatures on similarity and dissimilarity. From intrinsic properties of brain circuitry, we derive…

For points $(a,b)$ on an algebraic curve over a field $K$ with height $\mathfrak{h}$, the asymptotic relation between $\mathfrak{h}(a)$ and $\mathfrak{h}(b)$ has been extensively studied in diophantine geometry. When $K=\overline{k(t)}$ is…
