A classic theorem of Kazhdan and Margulis states that for any semisimple Lie group without compact factors, there is a positive lower bound on the covolume of lattices. H. C. Wang's subsequent quantitative analysis showed that the…

Some aspects of the interpretation of quantum theory are discussed. It is emphasized that quantum theory is formulated in the Cartesian coordinate system; in other coordinates the result obtained with the help of the Hamiltonian formalism…

We discuss the theorem on the existence of six points on a convex closed plane curve in which the curve has a contact of order six with the osculating conic. (This is the ``projective version'' of the well known four vertices theorem for a…

The convex hull of a ball with an exterior point is called a spike (or cap). A union of finitely many spikes of a ball is called a spiky ball. If a spiky ball is convex, then we call it a cap body. In this note we upper bound the…

We adapt an argument of Tao and Vu to show that if $\lambda_1\le\cdots\le\lambda_d$ are the successive minima of an origin-symmetric convex body $K$ with respect to some lattice $\Lambda<\mathbb{R}^d$, and if we set…

We consider the evolution of a connected set on the plane carried by a periodic incompressible stochastic flow. While for almost every realization of the random flow at time t most of the particles are at a distance of order sqrt{t} away…

It is made the attempt to explain why there exists a division between internal symmetries referring to quantum numbers and external symmetries referring to space-time within the description of relativistic quantum field theories. It is hold…

For each N>=c_d*n^{2d*(d+1)/(d+2)} we prove the existence of a spherical n-design on S^d consisting of N points, where c_d is a constant depending only on $d$.

We show that Quantum Mechanics can be interpreted as a modification of the Euclidean nature of 3-d space into a particular Weyl affine space which we call Q-wis. This is proved using the Bohm-de Broglie causal formulation of Quantum…

Consider an elliptic curve, defined over the rational numbers, and embedded in projective space. The rational points on the curve are viewed as integer vectors with coprime coordinates. What can be said about a rational point if a bound is…

We obtain an upper bound for the volume of the convex hull of a simple closed Frenet curve with exactly four vertices, i.e., four points of vanishing torsion, and lying on the boundary of its convex hull. Moreover, we show that the upper…

In this paper we prove the Kneser-Poulsen conjecture for the case of large radii. Namely, if a finite number of points in Euclidean space $E^n$ is rearranged so that the distance between each pair of points does not decrease, then there…

In this paper, inspired by Schur's comparison theorem about curves in Euclidean space, we mainly provide a Schur's type volume comparison theorem, which is about the volumes of the boundaries of open balls in a complete $n$-dimensional…

The number of lattice points in $d$-dimensional hyperbolic or elliptic shells $\{m : a<Q[m]<b\}$, which are restricted to rescaled and growing domains $r\;\Omega$, is approximated by the volume. An effective error bound of order…

In this paper we define $q$-spherical surfaces as the surfaces that contain the absolute conic of the Euclidean space as a $q-$fold curve. Particular attention is paid to the surfaces with singular points of the highest order. Two classes…

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…

Under quite natural general assumptions, the following results are obtained. The maximum entropy of a quantized surface is demonstrated to be proportional to the surface area in the classical limit. The general structure of the horizon…

We give a simple and self-contained construction of of the $P(\Phi)$ Euclidean Quantum Field Theory in the plane and verify the Osterwalder-Schrader axioms: translational and rotational invariance, reflection positivity and regularity. In…

In this paper we prove a quantitative central limit theorem for the area of uniform random disc-polygons in smooth convex discs whose boundary is $C^2_+$. We use Stein's method and the asymptotic lower bound for the variance of the area…

Relativistic scalar field theories with a conserved global charge Q possess often (meta)stable spherically symmetric soliton solutions, called Q-balls. We elaborate on the perfect formal analogy which exists between Q-balls, and spherically…
