These are notes from talks given at ICMS, Edinburgh, 4/2007 ("Geometry and Algorithms workshop") and at Bernoulli Center, Lausanne 5/2007 ("Limits of graphs in group theory and computer science"). We survey the following type of dichotomies…
We study the Dirichlet problem for a second order linear elliptic equation in a bounded smooth domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n \ge 3$, with the drift $\mathbf{b} $ belonging to the critical weak space $L^{n,\infty}(\Omega )$. We…
We prove that for any homogeneous, second order, constant complex coefficient elliptic system $L$, the Dirichlet problem in $\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+}$ with boundary data in BMO is well-posed in the class of functions $u$ with…
We establish sharp bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of sets of irrational numbers in $(0,1)$ whose digits in the $N$-expansion are either uniformly bounded or tend to infinity. For sets with digits bounded by an integer $M \ge N$, we…
We prove that Hilbert space is distortable and, in fact, arbitrarily distortable. This means that for all lambda >1 there exists an equivalent norm |.| on l_2 such that for all infinite dimensional subspaces Y of l_2 there exist x,y in Y…
For an m by n real matrix A, we investigate the set of badly approximable targets for A as a subset of the m-torus. It is well known that this set is large in the sense that it is dense and has full Hausdorff dimension. We investigate the…
Let $B$ be a $d$-dimensional Gaussian process on $\mathbb{R}$, where the component are independents copies of a scalar Gaussian process $B_0$ on $\mathbb{R}_+$ with a given general variance function…
We consider the problem of digitalizing Euclidean segments. Specifically, we look for a constructive method to connect any two points in $\mathbb{Z}^d$. The construction must be {\em consistent} (that is, satisfy the natural extension of…
Let $b\geq2$ be an integer and $A=(a_{n})_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a strictly increasing subsequence of positive integers with $\eta:=\limsup\limits_{n\to\infty}\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_{n}}<+\infty$. For each irrational real number $\xi$, we denote by…
We consider a random walk on a homogeneous space $G/\Lambda$ where $G$ is a non-compact simple Lie group and $\Lambda$ is a lattice. The walk is driven by a probability measure $\mu$ on $G$ whose support generates a Zariski-dense subgroup.…
Let $X\cong \operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb R)/\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$ be the space of unimodular lattices in $\mathbb R^2$, and for any $r\ge 0$ denote by $K_r\subset X$ the set of lattices such that all its nonzero vectors have…
We consider a second-order nonlocal parabolic MEMS equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions: \[ u_t-\Delta u=\frac{\lambda}{(1-u)^2\bigl(1+\int_\Omega\frac{1}{1-u}\,dx\bigr)^2},\quad x\in\Omega,\ t>0, \] where…
It is well known that a classical Fubini theorem for Hausdorff dimension cannot hold; that is, the dimension of the intersections of a fixed set with a parallel family of planes do not determine the dimension of the set. Here we prove that…
Given a nonnegative function $\psi : \N \to \R $, let $W(\psi)$ denote the set of real numbers $x$ such that $|nx -a| < \psi(n) $ for infinitely many reduced rationals $a/n (n>0) $. A consequence of our main result is that $W(\psi)$ is of…
For discrete-time nonautonomous linear dynamics and a large class of discrete growth rates $\mu$, we show that the notion of $\mu$ dichotomy (with respect to a sequence of norms) can be completely characterized in terms of ordinary and…
The badly approximable points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ are those for which Dirichlet's approximation theorem cannot be improved by more than a constant, that is, they are the points most difficult to approximate by rational vectors. An important…
In this work, we consider a mixed local and nonlocal Dirichlet problem with supercritical nonlinearity. We first establish a multiplicity result for the problem \begin{equation} Lu=|u|^{p-2}u+\mu|u|^{q-2}u~~\text{in}~~\Omega,~~~~~…
Dependent Object Types (DOT) is a calculus with path dependent types, intersection types, and object self-references, which serves as the core calculus of Scala 3. Although the calculus has been proven sound, it remains open whether type…
Let h_R denote an L ^{\infty} normalized Haar function adapted to a dyadic rectangle R contained in the unit cube in dimension d. We establish a non-trivial lower bound on the L^{\infty} norm of the `hyperbolic' sums $$ \sum _{|R|=2 ^{-n}}…
We consider badly approximable numbers in the case of dyadic diophantine approximation. For the unit circle $\mathbb{S}$ and the smallest distance to an integer $\|\cdot\|$ we give elementary proofs that the set $F(c) = \{x \in \mathbb{S}:…
