We prove that the number of oscillating tableaux of length $n$ with at most $k$ columns, starting at $\emptyset$ and ending at the one-column shape $(1^m)$, is equal to the number of standard Young tableaux of size~$n$ with $m$ columns of…

In this note, we study possible extensions of the Central Limit Theorem for non-convex bodies. First, we prove a Berry-Esseen type theorem for a certain class of unconditional bodies that are not necessarily convex. Then, we consider a…

In 2020, Coregliano and Razborov introduced a general framework to study limits of combinatorial objects, using logic and model theory. They introduced the abstract chromatic number and proved/reproved multiple…

The Hayman-Wu theorem states that the preimage of a line or circle L under a conformal mapping from the unit disc to a simply-connected domain U has total Euclidean length bounded by an absolute constant. The best possible constant is known…

Eremenko and Lyubich proved that an entire function whose set of singular values is bounded is expanding at points where its image has large modulus. These expansion properties have been at the centre of the subsequent study of this class…

Motivated by problems related to quasi-local mass in general relativity, we study the static metric extension conjecture proposed by R. Bartnik \cite{Bartnik_energy}. We show that, for any metric on $\bar{B}_1$ that is close enough to the…

The purpose of this paper is to describe a new $3$-dimensional family of bodies of constant width that we have called peabodies, obtained from the Reuleaux tetrahedron by replacing a small neighborhood of all six edges with sections of an…

Let f(x) be a differentiable function on the real line R, and let P be a point not on the graph of f(x). Define the illumination index of P to be the number of distinct tangents to the graph of f which pass thru P. We prove that if f '' is…

In this note we give a numerical expression for the bandwidth $bw(P_{n}^{d})$ of the $d$-product of a path with $n$ edges, $P_{n}^{d}$. We prove that this bandwidth is given by the sum of certain multinomial coefficients. We also show that…

Given a collection of N solutions of the (3+1) vacuum Einstein constraint equations which are asymptotically Euclidean, we show how to construct a new solution of the constraints which is itself asymptotically Euclidean, and which contains…

Lipschitz constants for the width and diameter functions of a convex body in $\mathbb R^n$ are found in terms of its diameter and thickness (maximum and minimum of both functions). Also, a dual approach to thickness is proposed.

An important theorem of Banaszczyk (Random Structures & Algorithms `98) states that for any sequence of vectors of $\ell_2$ norm at most $1/5$ and any convex body $K$ of Gaussian measure $1/2$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, there exists a signed…

Exercises with solutions are presented which should allow advanced undergraduate students to understand properties of a flat, uniformly expanding space. No knowledge of general or special relativity is needed besides that the speed of light…

For any convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb R^n$, S. Bubeck and R. Eldan introduced the entropic barrier on $K$ and showed that it is a $(1+o(1)) \, n$-self-concordant barrier. In this note, we observe that the optimal bound of $n$ on the…

Extending Blaschke and Lebesgue's classical result in the Euclidean plane, it has been recently proved in spherical and the hyperbolic cases, as well, that Reuleaux triangles have the minimal area among convex domains of constant width $D$.…

We give a computer assisted proof of the full listing of central configuration for $n$-body problem for Newtonian potential on the plane for $n=5,6,7$ with equal masses. We show all these central configurations have a reflective symmetry…

In this note we prove two results on the quantitative illumination parameter f(d) of the unit ball of a d-dimensional normed space introduced by K. Bezdek (1992). The first is that f(d) = O(2^d d^2 log d). The second involves Steiner…

In this paper, we establish mean width inequalities of sections and projections of convex bodies for isotropic measures with complete equality conditions, which extends the recent work of Alonso-Guti\'{e}rrez and Brazitikos. Different from…

We build, for real quadratic fields, infinitely many periodic continuous fractions uniformly bounded, with a seemingly better bound than the known ones. We do that using continuous fraction expansions with the same shape as those of real…

A number of results for C$^2$-smooth surfaces of constant width in Euclidean 3-space ${\mathbb{E}}^3$ are obtained. In particular, an integral inequality for constant width surfaces is established. This is used to prove that the ratio of…
