For a finite vector space $V$ and a non-negative integer $r\le\dim V$ we estimate the smallest possible size of a subset of $V$, containing a translate of every $r$-dimensional subspace. In particular, we show that if $K\subset V$ is the…

This paper develops an information-theoretic framework for algorithmic complexity under regular identifiable fibering. The central question is: when a decoder is given information about the fiber label in a fibered geometric set, how much…

Given positive integers $\ell<n$ and a real $d\in (\ell,n)$, we construct sets $K\subset \mathbb R^n$ with positive and finite Hausdorff $d-$measure such that the Radon-Nikodym derivative associated to all projections on $\ell-$dimensional…

We show that if $B \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and $E \subset A(n,k)$ is a nonempty collection of $k$-dimensional affine subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that every $P \in E$ intersects $B$ in a set of Hausdorff dimension at least $\alpha$ with…

We prove that for $d\ge 2,\, k\ge 2$, if the Hausdorff dimension of a compact set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is greater than $\frac{d^2}{2d-1}$, then, for any given $r > 0$, there exist $(x^1, \dots, x^{k+1})\in E^{k+1}$, $(y^1, \dots,…

A classical open problem in combinatorial geometry is to obtain tight asymptotic bounds on the maximum number of k-level vertices in an arrangement of n hyperplanes in d dimensions (vertices with exactly k of the hyperplanes passing below…

In his 1990 Inventiones paper, P. Jones characterized subsets of rectifiable curves in the plane via a multiscale sum of $\beta$-numbers. These $\beta$-numbers are geometric quantities measuring how far a given set deviates from a best…

We study Kakeya maximal operators associated with horizontal lines in finite Heisenberg groups $\mathbb H_n(\mathbb F_q)$. For the operator parameterized only by projective horizontal directions, we show that projection to $\mathbb…

We compute the Hausdorff dimension of limit sets generated by 3-dimensional self-affine mappings with diagonal matrices of the form A_{ijk}=Diag(a_{ijk}, b_{ij}, c_{i}), where 0<a_{ijk}\le b_{ij}\le c_i<1. By doing so we show that the…

A (d,k) set is a subset of R^d containing a translate of every k-dimensional plane. Bourgain showed that for k \geq k_{cr}(d), where k_{cr}(d) solves 2^{k_{cr}-1}+k_{cr} = d, every (d,k) set has positive Lebesgue measure. We give a short…

A Besicovitch-Rado-Kinney (BRK) set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is a Borel set that contains a $(n-1)$-dimensional sphere of radius $r$, for each $r>0$. It is known that such sets have Hausdorff dimension $n$ from the work of Kolasa and Wolff. In…

We study the class of 3-dimensional nonlinear 2-hessian equations mentioned in the text. We perform preliminary group classification on 2-hessian equation. In fact, we find additional equivalence transformation on the space (x,y,z,u,f),…

Compact sets in constructive mathematics capture our intuition of what computable subsets of the plane (or any other complete metric space) ought to be. A good representation of compact sets provides an efficient means of creating and…

We consider the Assouad dimensions of orthogonal projections of planar sets onto lines. Our investigation covers both general and self-similar sets. For general sets, the main result is the following: if a set in the plane has Assouad…

We obtain new lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of distance sets and pinned distance sets of planar Borel sets of dimension slightly larger than $1$, improving recent estimates of Keleti and Shmerkin, and of Liu in this regime. In…

In this article we address the problem of computing the dimension of the space of plane curves of degree $d$ with $n$ general points of multiplicity $m$. A conjecture of Harbourne and Hirschowitz implies that when $d \geq 3m$, the dimension…

Two types of higher order Lie $\ell$-ple systems are introduced in this paper. They are defined by brackets with $\ell > 3$ arguments satisfying certain conditions, and generalize the well known Lie triple systems. One of the…

We investigate the convergence of signed null sequences of the form \[ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \varepsilon_n a_n, \quad \varepsilon_n \in \{-1,1\}, \] where $(a_n)$ tends to zero in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Our main result shows that for any such…

We prove a version of Bourgain's projection theorem for parametrized families of $C^2$ maps, that refines the original statement even in the linear case. As one application, we show that if $A$ is a Borel set of Hausdorff dimension close to…

Recently, Stull [18], [17] resolved a long-standing open problem posed by Lutz, on whether the set of effective Hausdorff dimensions of points on a straight line in $\mathbb{R}^2$ -- the effective dimension spectrum of the line -- contains…
