We give upper bounds on the number of exceptional radial projections of arbitrary subsets of vector spaces over finite fields. Our bounds do not depend on the dimension of the ambient space. Let $\mathbb{F}_q^d$ be the $d$-dimensional…
A recent conjecture by I. Ra\c{s}a asserts that the sum of the squared Bernstein basis polynomials is a convex function in $[0,1]$. This conjecture turns out to be equivalent to a certain upper pointwise estimate of the ratio…
In 1931 Bohnenblust and Hille proved that for each m-homogeneous polynomial $\sum_{|\alpha| = m} a_\alpha z^\alpha$ on $\C^n$ the $\ell^{\frac{2m}{m+1}}$-norm of its coefficients is bounded from above by a constant $C_m$ (depending only on…
Let G be a finite Abelian group and A be a subset G\times G of cardinality at least |G|^2/(log log |G|)^c, where c>0 is an absolute constant. We prove that A contains a triple {(k,m), (k+d,m), (k,m+d)}, where d does not equal 0. This…
Let $\text{Tr}(n,m,k)$ denote the largest number of distinct projections onto $k$ coordinates guaranteed in any family of $m$ binary vectors of length $n$. The classical Sauer-Perles-Shelah Lemma implies that $\text{Tr}(n, n^r, k) = 2^k$…
Zaremba's conjecture (1971) states that every positive integer number $d$ can be represented as a denominator (continuant) of a finite continued fraction $\frac{b}{d}=[d_1,d_2,...,d_{k}],$ with all partial quotients $d_1,d_2,...,d_{k}$…
In 1965 Erd\H os conjectured that for all $k\ge2$, $s\ge1$ and $n\ge k(s+1)$, an $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraph $\F$ with $\nu(\F)=s$ cannot have more than \newline $\max\{\binom{sk+k-1}k,\;\binom nk-\binom{n-s}k\}$ edges. It took almost…
Let $\gamma_n$ be the standard Gaussian measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$. We prove that for every symmetric convex sets $K,L$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and every $\lambda\in(0,1)$, $$\gamma_n(\lambda K+(1-\lambda)L)^{\frac{1}{n}} \geq \lambda…
We study embedding a subset $K$ of the unit sphere to the Hamming cube $\{-1,+1\}^m$. We characterize the tradeoff between distortion and sample complexity $m$ in terms of the Gaussian width $\omega(K)$ of the set. For subspaces and several…
We consider the Ising perceptron with gaussian disorder, which is equivalent to the discrete cube $\{-1,+1\}^N$ intersected by $M$ random half-spaces. The perceptron's capacity is $\alpha_N \equiv M_N/N$ for the largest integer $M_N$ such…
We show that the capacity of the Ising perceptron is with high probability upper bounded by the constant $\alpha_\star \approx 0.833$ conjectured by Krauth and M\'ezard, under the condition that an explicit two-variable function…
In 1979, Neumaier gave a bound on $\lambda$ in terms of $m$ and $\mu$, where $-m$ is the smallest eigenvalue of a primitive strongly regular graph, unless the graph in question belongs to one of the two infinite families of strongly regular…
In this article, we obtain a super-exponential rate of convergence in total variation between the traces of the first $m$ powers of an $n\times n$ random unitary matrices and a $2m$-dimensional Gaussian random variable. This generalizes…
Gr\"unbaum's inequality guarantees that the centroid of a convex body has halfspace depth at least $1/e$: every halfspace containing the centroid captures at least a $1/e$ fraction of the body's volume. For mixed-integer convex sets…
A strong version of Andrica's conjecture can be formulated as follows: Except for $p_n\in\{3,7,13,23,31,113\}$, that is $n\in\{2,4,6,9,11,30\}$, one has$\sqrt{p_{n+1}}-\sqrt{p_n} < \frac{1}{2}.$ While a proof is far out of reach I shall…
Strassen's asymptotic rank conjecture [Progr. Math. 120 (1994)] claims a strong submultiplicative upper bound on the rank of a three-tensor obtained as an iterated Kronecker product of a constant-size base tensor. The conjecture, if true,…
Based on a result of Makeev, in 2012 Blagojevi\'c and Karasev proposed the following problem: given any positive integers $m$ and $1\leq \ell\leq k$, find the minimum dimension $d=\Delta(m;\ell/k)$ such that for any $m$ mass distributions…
We prove that there is a universal constant $C>0$ with the following property. Suppose that $n\in \mathbb{N}$ and that $\mathsf{A}=(a_{ij})\in M_n(\mathbb{R})$ is a symmetric stochastic matrix. Denote the second-largest eigenvalue of…
Let G be a random subgraph of the n-cube where each edge appears randomly and independently with probability p. We prove that the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of G is almost surely \lambda_1(G)= (1+o(1))…
We prove a weak version of the Perdomo Conjecture, namely, there is a positive constant $\delta(n)>0$ depending only on $n$ such that on any closed embedded, non-totally geodesic, minimal hypersurface $M^n$ in $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$,…
