A pair of probability distributions over $\{0,1\}^n$ is said to be $(k,\delta)$-wise indistinguishable if all of the size $k$ marginals are within statistical distance at most $\delta$. Previous works introduced this concept and study when…
Let $P$ be a finite set of points in the plane in general position, that is, no three points of $P$ are on a common line. We say that a set $H$ of five points from $P$ is a $5$-hole in $P$ if $H$ is the vertex set of a convex $5$-gon…
Incidence problems between geometric objects is a key area of focus in the field of discrete geometry. Among them, the study of incidence problems over finite fields have received a considerable amount of attention in recent years. In this…
We present a technique for deriving lower bounds for incidences with hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb R}^d$ with $d\ge 4$. These bounds apply to a large variety of hypersurfaces, such as hyperplanes, hyperspheres, paraboloids, and hypersurfaces…
We prove that if $G$ is an abelian group and $H_1x_1,\dots,H_{k}x_k$ is an irredundant (minimal) cover of $G$ with cosets, then $$|G:\bigcap_{i=1}^{k}H_{i}|=2^{O(k)}.$$ This bound is the best possible up to the constant hidden in the…
Consider a 2-plane $P \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ and let $D$ be a bounded region in $P$ with a piecewise-smooth boundary. Let $I(D)$ be the infimum of areas of all piecewise-smooth isotropic surfaces in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with the same boundary as…
Since ancient times mathematicians consider geometrical objects with integral side lengths. We consider plane integral point sets $\mathcal{P}$, which are sets of $n$ points in the plane with pairwise integral distances where not all the…
First, let $K \subset B(0,1) \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ be a set with $\mathcal{H}_{\infty}^{1}(K) \sim 1$, and write $\pi_{e}(K)$ for the orthogonal projection of $K$ into the line spanned by $e \in S^{1}$. For $1/2 \leq s < 1$, write $$E_{s}…
We study a geometric property related to spherical hyperplane tessellations in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$. We first consider a fixed $x$ on the Euclidean sphere and tessellations with $M \gg d$ hyperplanes passing through the origin having normal…
Erd\H{o}s asked what is the maximum number $\alpha(n)$ such that every set of $n$ points in the plane with no four on a line contains $\alpha(n)$ points in general position. We consider variants of this question for $d$-dimensional point…
Let $P$ be a finite point set in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with the set of distance $n$-chains defined as $$ \Delta_n(P)=\{(|p_1-p_2|,|p_2-p_3|,\ldots,|p_n-p_{n+1}|):p_i \in P\}.$$ We show that for $2\leq n=O_{|P|}(1)$ we have $$|\Delta_n(P)|\gtrsim…
The famous Szemer\'{e}di-Trotter theorem states that any arrangement of $n$ points and $n$ lines in the plane determines $O(n^{4/3})$ incidences, and this bound is tight. In this paper, we prove the following Tur\'an-type result for…
We generalize the Szemer\'edi-Trotter incidence theorem, to bound the number of complete \emph{flags} in higher dimensions. Specifically, for each $i=0,1,\ldots,d-1$, we are given a finite set $S_i$ of $i$-flats in $\R^d$ or in $\C^d$, and…
We first prove a new separating hyperplane theorem characterizing when a pair of compact convex subsets $K, K'$ of the Euclidean space intersect, and when they are disjoint. The theorem is distinct from classical separation theorems. It…
In this manuscript, we obtain a plane wave decomposition for the delta distribution in superspace, provided that the superdimension is not odd and negative. This decomposition allows for explicit inversion formulas for the super Radon…
We establish the optimal lower bound $\gtrsim N$ for counting the number of distinct inner products of pairs from any $N$ given vectors in $\R^2$. Essentially, we lift a related incidence structure defined by inner products in the plane to…
We give a fairly elementary and simple proof that shows that the number of incidences between $m$ points and $n$ lines in ${\mathbb R}^3$, so that no plane contains more than $s$ lines, is $$ O\left(m^{1/2}n^{3/4}+ m^{2/3}n^{1/3}s^{1/3} + m…
We obtain explicit error bounds for the $d$-dimensional normal approximation on hyperrectangles for a random vector that has a Stein kernel, or admits an exchangeable pair coupling, or is a non-linear statistic of independent random…
Let {(Z_i,W_i):i=1,...,n} be uniformly distributed in [0,1]^d * G(k,d), where G(k,d) denotes the space of k-dimensional linear subspaces of R^d. For a differentiable function f from [0,1]^k to [0,1]^d we say that f interpolates (z,w) in…
Let $L$ be a set of $n$ lines in $R^3$ that is contained, when represented as points in the four-dimensional Pl\"ucker space of lines in $R^3$, in an irreducible variety $T$ of constant degree which is \emph{non-degenerate} with respect to…
