We show that for a very general and natural class of curvature functions (for example the curvature quotients $(\sigma_n/\sigma_l)^{\frac{1}{n-l}}$) the problem of finding a complete spacelike strictly convex hypersurface in de Sitter space…

Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. A Steiner convex partition is a tiling of ${\rm conv}(S)$ with empty convex bodies. For every integer $d$, we show that $S$ admits a Steiner convex partition with at most $\lceil…

I introduce a family of closeness functions between causal Lorentzian geometries of finite volume and arbitrary underlying topology. When points are randomly scattered in a Lorentzian manifold, with uniform density according to the volume…

Let $\# K$ be a number of integer lattice points contained in a set $K$. In this paper we prove that for each $d\in {\mathbb N}$ there exists a constant $C(d)$ depending on $d$ only, such that for any origin-symmetric convex body $K \subset…

A lattice (d, k)-polytope is the convex hull of a set of points in dimension d whose coordinates are integers between 0 and k. Let {\delta}(d, k) be the largest diameter over all lattice (d, k)-polytopes. We develop a computational…

We study density estimation in Kullback-Leibler divergence: given an i.i.d. sample from an unknown density $p^\star$, the goal is to construct an estimator $\widehat{p}$ such that $\mathrm{KL}(p^\star,\widehat{p})$ is small with high…

We show that in any $d$-dimensional real normed space, unit balls can be packed with density at least \[\frac{(1-o(1))d\log d}{2^{d+1}},\] improving a result of Schmidt from 1958 by a logarithmic factor and generalizing the recent result of…

A packing by a body $K$ is collection of congruent copies of $K$ (in either Euclidean or hyperbolic space) so that no two copies intersect nontrivially in their interiors. A covering by $K$ is a collection of congruent copies of $K$ such…

We prove that for any element in the $\gamma$-completion of the space of smooth compact exact Lagrangian submanifolds of a cotangent bundle, if its $\gamma$-support is a smooth Lagrangian submanifold, then the element itself is a smooth…

For a convex body $K \subset {\mathbb R}^n$, let $K^z = \{y\in{\mathbb R}^n : \langle y-z, x-z\rangle\le 1, \mbox{\ for all\ } x\in K\}$ be the polar body of $K$ with respect to the center of polarity $z \in {\mathbb R}^n$. The goal of this…

The notion of smoothness was introduced originally in the context of step systems on connected graphs. Smoothness turns out to be a very general property of metrics defined by a five-point condition. Restricted to graphs, it is closely…

The Flatness theorem states that the maximum lattice width ${\rm Flt}(d)$ of a $d$-dimensional lattice-free convex set is finite. It is the key ingredient for Lenstra's algorithm for integer programming in fixed dimension, and much work has…

A topological space (not necessarily simply connected) is said to have finite homotopy rank-sum if the sum of the ranks of all higher homotopy groups (from the second homotopy group onward) is finite. In this article, we characterize the…

A cocompact lattice in a semisimple Lie group $G$ is a discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ such that the quotient $G/\Gamma$ is compact. Does such a lattice always contain a surface group, i.e. a subgroup isomorphic to the fundamental group of a…

For a full-rank integral lattice $\mathcal{L}\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, Regev and Stephens-Davidowitz proved that \[N_{=k}(\mathcal{L}):=|\{y\in\mathcal{L}:\lVert y\rVert^2=k\}|\le 2\binom{n+2k-2}{2k-1}.\] We classify the equality cases. For…

We prove several cases of Zimmer's conjecture for actions of higher-rank cocompact lattices on low dimensional manifolds. For example, if $\Gamma$ is a cocompact lattice in $\mathrm{Sl}(n, \mathbb R)$, $M$ is a compact manifold, and…

This paper divides into two parts. Let $(X,\omega)$ be a compact Hermitian manifold. Firstly, if the Hermitian metric $\omega$ satisfies the assumption that $\partial\overline{\partial}\omega^k=0$ for all $k$, we generalize the volume of…

Suppose $D$ is a suitably admissible compact subset of $\mathbb{R}^k$ having a smooth boundary with possible zones of zero curvature. Let \mbox{$R(T,\theta,x)= N(T,\theta,x) - T^{k}\mathrm{vol}(D)$,} where $N(T,\theta,x)$ is the number of…

We describe some sufficient conditions, under which smooth and compactly supported functions are or are not dense in the fractional Sobolev space $W^{s,p}(\Omega)$ for an open, bounded set $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}$. The density property…

Let $f(z)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a(n)q^n\in S^{\text{new}}_ k (\Gamma_0(N))$ be a newform with squarefree level $N$ that does not have complex multiplication. For a prime $p$, define $\theta_p\in[0,\pi]$ to be the angle for which $a(p)=2p^{( k…
