For any $\varepsilon > 0$, we prove that $k$-Dimensional Matching is hard to approximate within a factor of $k/(12 + \varepsilon)$ for large $k$ unless $\textsf{NP} \subseteq \textsf{BPP}$. Listed in Karp's 21 $\textsf{NP}$-complete…

Precision observables are well known for constraining most of the Beyond Standard Model (BSM) scenarios tightly. We present here a simple and comprehensive fitting framework for various BSM scenarios to these observables. We start with the…

The spread of a finite set of points is the ratio between the longest and shortest pairwise distances. We prove that the Delaunay triangulation of any set of n points in R^3 with spread D has complexity O(D^3). This bound is tight in the…

We prove that the number of distinct homotopy types of limits of one-parameter semi-algebraic families of closed and bounded semi-algebraic sets is bounded singly exponentially in the additive complexity of any quantifier-free first order…

We establish a new version of Siegel's lemma over a number field $k$, providing a bound on the maximum of heights of basis vectors of a subspace of $k^N$, $N \geq 2$. In addition to the small-height property, the basis vectors we obtain…

We study a generalization of the Set Cover problem called the \emph{Partial Set Cover} in the context of geometric set systems. The input to this problem is a set system $(X, \mathcal{S})$, where $X$ is a set of elements and $\mathcal{S}$…

We study the descriptive complexity of sets of points defined by placing restrictions on statistical behaviour of their orbits in dynamical systems on Polish spaces. A particular examples of such sets are the set of generic points of a…

We study the local statistics of orthogonal polynomial ensembles near a hard edge, subject to a multiplicative deformation of the measure. Probabilistically, this deformation corresponds to a position-dependent conditional thinning of the…

Since 1989, the best known lower bound on static data structures was Siegel's classical cell sampling lower bound. Siegel showed an explicit problem with $n$ inputs and $m$ possible queries such that every data structure that answers…
