The celebrated Dvoretzky theorem asserts that every $N$-dimensional convex body admits central sections of dimension $d = \Omega(\log N)$, which is nearly spherical. For many instances of convex bodies, typically unit balls with respect to…

Let n>3, and let L be a Lagrangian embedding of an n-disk into the cotangent bundle of n-dimensional Euclidean space that agrees with the cotangent fiber over a non-zero point x outside a compact set. Assume that L is disjoint from the…

We consider 2-step free-Carnot groups equipped with sub-Finsler distances. We prove that the metric spheres are codimension-one rectifiable from the Euclidean viewpoint. The result is obtained by studying how the Lipschitz constant for the…

Let $X$ be a compact real algebraic set of dimension $n$. We prove that every Euclidean continuous map from $X$ into the unit $n$-sphere can be approximated by regulous map. This strengthens and generalizes previously known results.

Let two distinct $N$-simplexes be given in an Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean $N+1$ dimensional space as each is defined by the coordinates of its $N+1$ vertexes. We consider the two families of $N$-spheres passing through the vertexes of the…

The van der Waerden's theorem reads that an equilateral pentagon in Euclidean 3-space $\Bbb E^3$ with all diagonals of the same length is necessarily planar and its vertex set coincides with the vertex set of some convex regular pentagon.…

For any positive integer $n$, the author previously constructed several minimal simplicial $n$-complexes which necessarily contain a non-splittable two-component link, consisting of an $(n-1)$-sphere and an $n$-sphere, in any embedding into…

In this paper, we prove that, for any integer $n\ge 2,$ there exists an $\epsilon_{n} \ge 0$ so that if $M$ is an n-dimensional complete manifold with sectional curvature $ K_{M}\ge 1$ and if $M$ has conjugate radius bigger than…

A finite subset $X$ of the Euclidean space is called an $m$-distance set if the number of distances between two distinct points in $X$ is equal to $m$. An $m$-distance set $X$ is said to be maximal if any vector cannot be added to $X$ while…

We consider the 2-dimensional random matching problem in $\mathbb{R}^2.$ In a challenging paper, Caracciolo et. al. arXiv:1402.6993 on the basis of a subtle linearization of the Monge Ampere equation, conjectured that the expected value of…

Let $\Omega$ be a measurable Euclidean set in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ that is symmetric, i.e. $\Omega=-\Omega$, such that $\Omega\times\mathbb{R}$ has the smallest Gaussian surface area among all measurable symmetric sets of fixed Gaussian volume.…

In this paper, claims by Lemmens and Seidel in 1973 about equiangular sets of lines with angle $1/5$ are proved by carefully analyzing pillar decompositions, with the aid of the uniqueness of two-graphs on $276$ vertices. The Neumann…

In the d dimensional Euclidean space, any set of n+1 independent random points, uniformly distributed in the interior of a unit ball of center O, determines almost surely a circumsphere of center C and of radius R, with n positive and less…

Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^3$, no three collinear and not all coplanar. If at most $n-k$ are coplanar and $n$ is sufficiently large, the total number of planes determined is at least $1 + k…

New condition is found for the set of points in the plane, for which the locus is a circle. It is proved: the locus of points, such that the sum of the $(2m)$-th powers $S_n^{(2m)}$}of the distances to the vertexes of fixed regular…

Let $(M,g)$ be an $n$-dimensional asymptotically flat Riemannian manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature that admits a noncompact area-minimizing hypersurface $\Sigma \subset M$. In the case where $n = 3$, O. Chodosh and the first-named…

Let $ES(n)$ be the smallest integer such that any set of $ES(n)$ points in the plane in general position contains $n$ points in convex position. In their seminal 1935 paper, Erdos and Szekeres showed that $ES(n) \leq {2n - 4\choose n-2} + 1…

A recent result of Chepoi, Estellon and Vaxes [DCG '07] states that any planar graph of diameter at most 2R can be covered by a constant number of balls of size R; put another way, there are a constant-sized subset of vertices within which…

A set in $\mathbb R^d$ is called almost-equidistant if for any three distinct points in the set, some two are at unit distance apart. First, we give a short proof of the result of Bezdek and L\'angi claiming that an almost-equidistant set…
