The VC-dimension of a family of sets is a measure of its combinatorial complexity used in machine learning theory, computational geometry, and even model theory. Computing the VC-dimension of the $k$-fold union of geometric set systems has…

Given $E \subset {\Bbb R}^d$, define the \emph{volume set} of $E$, ${\mathcal V}(E)= \{det(x^1, x^2, ... x^d): x^j \in E\}$. In $\R^3$, we prove that ${\mathcal V}(E)$ has positive Lebesgue measure if either the Hausdorff dimension of…

A vector space over a field $\mathbb{F}$ is a set $V$ together with two binary operations, called vector addition and scalar multiplication. It is standard practice to think of a Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ as an $n$-dimensional real…

We prove that if a subset of the d-dimensional vector space over a finite field is large enough, then it contains many k-tuples of mutually orthogonal vectors.

Fix positive integers $k$ and $d$. We show that, as $n\to\infty$, any set system $\mathcal{A} \subset 2^{[n]}$ for which the VC dimension of $\{ \triangle_{i=1}^k S_i \mid S_i \in \mathcal{A}\}$ is at most $d$ has size at most…

Ballico proved that a smooth projective variety $X$ of degree $d$ over a finite field of $q$ elements admits a smooth hyperplane section if $q\geq d(d-1)^{\dim X}$. In this paper, we refine this criterion for higher codimensional linear…

We study the existence of plane substructures in drawings of the $d$-dimensional hypercube graph $Q_d$. We construct drawings of $Q_d$ which contain no plane subgraph with more than $2d-2$ edges, no plane path with more than $2d-3$ edges,…

For any affine hypersurface defined by a complete symmetric polynomial in $k\geq 3$ variables of degree $m$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ of $q$ elements, a special case of our theorem says that this hypersurface has at least…

We determine the number of ${\mathbb{F}}_q$-rational points of hyperplane sections of classical determinantal varieties defined by the vanishing of minors of a fixed size of a generic matrix, and identify sections giving the maximum number…

We discuss the question when a finite-dimensional diffeological vector space is, or turns out not to be, the coproduct of its subspaces in the category of diffeological vector spaces, after reviewing the same question in some other…
