We write down a one-dimensional integral formula and compute large-n asymptotics for the expectation of the absolute value of the smallest component of a unit vector in n-dimensional Euclidean space. The method is general, and allows to…

We prove that the round metric on the sphere has the largest first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator among all metrics that are larger than it. As a corollary, this gives an alternative proof of an extremality result for scalar curvature due…

Let $X_1,X_2, \ldots $ be independent random uniform points in a bounded domain $A \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ with smooth boundary. Define the coverage threshold $R_n$ to be the smallest $r$ such that $A$ is covered by the balls of radius $r$…

In this paper, we investigate the small scale equidistribution properties of randomised sums of Laplacian eigenfunctions (i.e. random waves) on a compact manifold. We prove small scale expectation and variance results for random waves on…

In this paper we study the number of incidences between $m$ points and $n$ varieties in $\mathbb{F}^d$, where $\mathbb{F}$ is an arbitrary field, assuming the incidence graph contains no copy of $K_{s,s}$. We also consider the analogous…

In 1974, Witsenhausen asked for the maximum possible density $\alpha_n$ of a measurable subset $A$ of the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $A$ contains no pair of orthogonal vectors. For $n=3$, the best known…

We study the problem of distinguishing between two symmetric probability distributions over $n$ bits by observing $k$ bits of a sample, subject to the constraint that all $k-1$-wise marginal distributions of the two distributions are…

Let $r=r(n)$ be a sequence of integers such that $r\leq n$ and let $X_1,\ldots,X_{r+1}$ be independent random points distributed according to the Gaussian, the Beta or the spherical distribution on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Limit theorems for the…

We consider bounds on codes in spherical caps and related problems in geometry and coding theory. An extension of the Delsarte method is presented that relates upper bounds on the size of spherical codes to upper bounds on codes in caps.…

We develop a systematic framework for constructing spherical harmonics on the two-dimensional unit sphere as superpositions of Gaussian beams whose poles form well-separated point configurations. The distributional and analytic properties…

We show that the size of codes in projective space controls structural results for zeros of odd maps from spheres to Euclidean space. In fact, this relation is given through the topology of the space of probability measures on the sphere…

We prove that uniform random quadrangulations of the sphere with $n$ faces, endowed with the usual graph distance and renormalized by $n^{-1/4}$, converge as $n\to\infty$ in distribution for the Gromov-Hausdorff topology to a limiting…

It is verified that the number of vertices in a $d$-dimensional cubical pseudomanifold is at least $2^{d+1}$. Using Adin's cubical $h$-vector, the generalized lower bound conjecture is established for all cubical 4-spheres, as well as for…

In this paper we study spherical equidistribution on the space of (translates of) adelic lattices, which we apply to understand the fine-scale statistics of the directions in the set of shifted primitive lattice points. We also apply our…

We consider the convex hull of a finite sample of i.i.d. points uniformly distributed in a convex body in $\R^d$, $d\geq 2$. We prove an exponential deviation inequality, which leads to rate optimal upper bounds on all the moments of the…
