Developing an idea of M. Gromov, we study the intersection formula for random subsets with density. The \textit{density} of a subset $A$ in a finite set $E$ is defined by $dens A := \log_{|E|}(|A|)$. The aim of this article is to give a…

Given an irreducible variety $X$ over a finite field, the density of hypersurfaces of varying degree $d$ intersecting $X$ in an irreducible subvariety is $1$, by a result of Charles and Poonen. In this note, we analyse the situation fixing…

Let $E$ be a bounded open subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$. We study the following questions: For i.i.d. samples $X_1, \dots, X_N$ drawn uniformly from $E$, what is the probability that $\cup_i \mathbf{B}(X_i, \delta)$, the union of $\delta$-balls…

Uniform probability distributions on $\ell_p$ balls and spheres have been studied extensively and are known to behave like product measures in high dimensions. In this note we consider the uniform distribution on the intersection of a…

We consider a dynamics generated by families of maps whose invariant density depends on a parameter a and where a itself obeys a stochastic or periodic dynamics. For slowly varying a the long-term behavior of iterates is described by a…

The paper considers the distribution of a general linear combination of central and non-central chi-square random variables by exploring the branch cut regions that appear in the standard Laplace inversion process. Due to the original…

We prove that intersections and unions of independent random sets in finite spaces achieve a form of Lipschitz continuity. More precisely, given the distribution of a random set $\Xi$, the function mapping any random set distribution to the…

We establish Central Limit Theorems for the volumes of intersections of $B_{p}^n$ (the unit ball of $\ell_p^n$) with uniform random subspaces of codimension $d$ for fixed $d$ and $n\to \infty$. As a corollary we obtain higher order…

We give a highly efficient "semi-agnostic" algorithm for learning univariate probability distributions that are well approximated by piecewise polynomial density functions. Let $p$ be an arbitrary distribution over an interval $I$ which is…

Given a set C in R^d, let p(C) be the probability that a random d-dimensional unimodular lattice, chosen according to Haar measure on SL(d,Z)\SL(d,R), is disjoint from C\{0}. For special convex sets C we prove bounds on p(C) which are sharp…

The Blaschke-Petkantschin formula is a variant of the polar decomposition of the $k$-fold Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb {R}^n$ in terms of the corresponding measures on $k$-dimensional linear subspaces of $\mathbb {R}^n$. We suggest a new…
