In this paper, we study the distance problem in the setting of finite p-adic rings. In odd dimensions, our results are essentially sharp. In even dimensions, we clarify the conjecture and provide examples to support it. Surprisingly,…
For any odd prime $p$ and any integer $N\ge 0$, let $\mathcal{V}(p,N)$ be the set of vertices of the cyclotomic box $\mathscr{B} = \mathscr{B}(p,N)$ of edge size $2N$ and centered at the origin $O$ of the ring of integers…
We study the relationship between the sizes of sets $B,S$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ where $B$ contains the $k$-skeleton of an axes-parallel cube around each point in $S$, generalizing the results of Keleti, Nagy, and Shmerkin about such sets in the…
A subset of the finite dimensional hypercube is said to be equilateral if the distance of any two distinct points equals a fixed value. The equilateral dimension of the hypercube is defined as the maximal size of its equilateral subsets. We…
In a given hypercube, draw grid lines parallel to the edges, and consider all hypercuboids (or hypercubes) whose edges are lying on the grid lines or the boundary. We find the limit of the value of the ratio of the arithmetic mean of the…
We show that large subsets of vector spaces over finite fields determine certain point configurations with prescribed distance structure. More specifically, we consider the complete graph with vertices as the points of $A \subseteq…
We initiate the study of diameter computation in geometric intersection graphs from the fine-grained complexity perspective. A geometric intersection graph is a graph whose vertices correspond to some shapes in $d$-dimensional Euclidean…
We give a deterministic method of quasi-polynomial complexity to approximate the volume of the intersection of the unit hypercube with two specific sets. The method can actually be applied (without losing the quasi-polynomial complexity) to…
We construct a unilateral lattice tiling of $\mathbb{R}^n$ into hypercubes of two differnet side lengths $p$ or $q$. This generalizes the Pythagorean tiling in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We also show that this tiling is unique up to symmetries, which…
Let $D$ denote a positive integer and let $Q_D$ denote the graph of the $D$-dimensional hypercube. Let $X$ denote the vertex set of $Q_D$ and let $A \in \MX$ denote the adjacency matrix of $Q_D$. A matrix $B \in \MX$ is called $A$-{\em…
Consider a $d$-dimensional closed ball $B$ whose center coincides with that of the hypercube $[0,1]^d$. Pick the radius of $B$ in such a way that the vertices of the hypercube are outside of $B$ and the midpoints of its edges in the…
A recent paper on the large-scale structure of the Universe presented evidence for a rectangular three-dimensional lattice of galaxy superclusters and voids, with lattice spacing ~120 Mpc and called for some ``hitherto unknown process'' to…
In this paper several examples of gaps (lacunes) between dimensions of maximal and submaximal symmetric models are considered, which include investigation of number of independent linear and quadratic integrals of metrics and counting the…
We consider how flat a lattice simplex contained in the hypercube $[0,k]^d$ can be. This question is related to the notion of kissing polytopes: two lattice polytopes contained in the hypercube $[0,k]^d$ are kissing when they are disjoint…
We describe a uniformly fast algorithm for generating points \vec{x} uniformly in a hypercube with the restriction that the difference between each pair of coordinates is bounded. We discuss the quality of the algorithm in the sense of its…
We construct a variety of supersymmetric gauge theories on a spatial lattice, including N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in 3+1 dimensions. Exact lattice supersymmetry greatly reduces or eliminates the need for fine tuning to arrive at…
We consider the number of distinct distances between two finite sets of points in ${\bf R}^k$, for any constant dimension $k\ge 2$, where one set $P_1$ consists of $n$ points on a line $l$, and the other set $P_2$ consists of $m$ arbitrary…
In this paper, we derive the exact formula for the probability that three randomly and uniformly selected points from the interior of the unit cube form vertices of an obtuse triangle.
In his seminal paper on triangle centers, Clark Kimberling made a number of conjectures concerning the distances between triangle centers. For example, if $D(i; j)$ denotes the distance between triangle centers $X_i$ and $X_j$ , Kimberling…
We develop a new approach to address some classical questions concerning the size and structure of integer distance sets. Our main result is that any integer distance set in the Euclidean plane is either very sparse or has all but an…
