We establish a new version of Siegel's lemma over a number field $k$, providing a bound on the maximum of heights of basis vectors of a subspace of $k^N$, $N \geq 2$. In addition to the small-height property, the basis vectors we obtain…

We prove local well-posedness for the periodic derivative nonlinear Schrodinger's equation, which is L^2 critical, in Fourier-Lebesgue spaces which scale like H^s(T) for s>0. In particular we close the existing gap in the subcritical theory…

We demonstrate $k+1$-term arithmetic progressions in certain subsets of the real line whose "higher-order Fourier dimension" is sufficiently close to 1. This Fourier dimension, introduced in previous work, is a higher-order (in the sense of…

In the classical many normal means with different variances, we consider the situation when the observer is allowed to allocate the available measurement budget over the coordinates of the parameter of interest. The benchmark is the minimax…

The discounted central limit theorem concerns the convergence of an infinite discounted sum of i.i.d. random variables to normality as the discount factor approaches $1$. We show that, using the Fourier metric on probability distributions,…

A well-known discovery of Feige's is the following: Let $X_1, \ldots, X_n$ be nonnegative independent random variables, with $\mathbb{E}[X_i] \leq 1 \;\forall i$, and let $X = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i$. Then for any $n$, \[\Pr[X < \mathbb{E}[X] +…

For $\lambda \in (1/2, 1)$ and $\alpha$, we consider sets of numbers $x$ such that for infinitely many $n$, $x$ is $2^{-\alpha n}$-close to some $\sum_{i=1}^n \omega_i \lambda^i$, where $\omega_i \in \{0,1\}$. These sets are in Falconer's…

We give tight bounds on the degree $\ell$ homogenous parts $f_\ell$ of a bounded function $f$ on the cube. We show that if $f: \{\pm 1\}^n \rightarrow [-1,1]$ has degree $d$, then $\| f_\ell \|_\infty$ is bounded by $d^\ell/\ell!$, and $\|…

In this paper we determine the maximum number of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ which form exactly $t$ distinct triangles, where we restrict ourselves to the case of $t = 1$. We denote this quantity by $F_d(t)$. It was known from the work of…

We improve the range for the discrete Fourier restriction to the four and five dimensional spheres. We rely on two new ingredients, incidence theory and Siegel's mass formula.

We establish lower bounds for the operator norms of the Fourier restriction/extension operators associated to monomial curves with affine arclength measure. Furthermore, we prove that the set of all extremizing sequences of such an operator…

We prove that if $E \subset {\mathbb F}_q^2$, $q \equiv 3 \mod 4$, has size greater than $Cq^{7/4}$, then $E$ determines a positive proportion of all congruence classes of triangles in ${\mathbb F}_q^2$. The approach in this paper is based…

Denote by $f_D(n)$ the maximum size of a set family $\mathcal{F}$ on $[n] \stackrel{\mbox{\normalfont\tiny def}}{=} \{1, \dots, n\}$ with distance set $D$. That is, $|A \bigtriangleup B| \in D$ holds for every pair of distinct sets $A, B…

Given an extension of number fields $E \subset F$ and a projective variety $X$ over $F$, we compare the problem of counting the number of rational points of bounded height on $X$ with that of its Weil restriction over $E$. In particular, we…

Bayesian variable selection has gained much empirical success recently in a variety of applications when the number $K$ of explanatory variables $(x_1,...,x_K)$ is possibly much larger than the sample size $n$. For generalized linear…

Bombieri and Zannier gave an effective construction of algebraic numbers of small height inside the maximal Galois extension of the rationals which is totally split at a given finite set of prime numbers. They proved, in particular, an…

Bennett, Carbery and Tao considered the $k$-linear restriction estimate in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ and established the near optimal $L^\frac2{k-1}$ estimate under transversality assumptions only. We have shown that the trilinear restriction…

Solutions to many important partial differential equations satisfy bounds constraints, but approximations computed by finite element or finite difference methods typically fail to respect the same conditions. Chang and Nakshatrala enforce…

For $\alpha\geq 2$, we investigate a class of Fourier extension operators on fractional surfaces $(\xi,|\xi|^\alpha)$. For the corresponding $\alpha$-Strichartz inequalities, by applying the missing mass method and bilinear restriction…

Park and Pham's recent proof of the Kahn-Kalai conjecture was a major breakthrough in the field of graph and hypergraph thresholds. Their result gives an upper bound on the threshold at which a probabilistic construction has a $1-\epsilon$…
