Recently geometric hypergraphs that can be defined by intersections of pseudohalfplanes with a finite point set were defined in a purely combinatorial way. This led to extensions of earlier results about points and halfplanes to…

The well-known Reifenberg theorem states that if a subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be well approximated by $k$-planes at every point and every scale, then it is biH\"older homeomorphic to a $k$-disk. This article concerns a subset $S$ of…

We show that the hyperplane conjecture holds for the classes of $k$-intersection bodies with arbitrary measures in place of volume.

We first prove a new separating hyperplane theorem characterizing when a pair of compact convex subsets $K, K'$ of the Euclidean space intersect, and when they are disjoint. The theorem is distinct from classical separation theorems. It…

Applications of harmonic analysis on finite groups were recently introduced to measure partition problems, with a variety of equipartition types by convex fundamental domains obtained as the vanishing of prescribed Fourier transforms.…

In this paper some results on the topology of the space of $k$-flats in $\mathbb R^n$ are proved, similar to the Borsuk-Ulam theorem on coverings of sphere. Some corollaries on common transversals for families of compact sets in $\mathbb…

We further develop the theory of layered semigroups, as introduced by Farah, Hindman and McLeod, providing a general framework to prove Ramsey statements about such a semigroup $S$. By nonstandard and topological arguments, we show Ramsey…

In this paper, we prove a structure theorem for the infinite union of $n$-adic doubling measures via techniques which involve far numbers. Our approach extends the results of Wu in 1998, and as a by product, we also prove a classification…

The Separating Hyperplane theorem is a fundamental result in Convex Geometry with myriad applications. Our first result, Random Separating Hyperplane Theorem (RSH), is a strengthening of this for polytopes. $\rsh$ asserts that if the…

We prove that any finite collection of polygons of equal area has a common hinged dissection. That is, for any such collection of polygons there exists a chain of polygons hinged at vertices that can be folded in the plane continuously…

Tverberg's theorem is one of the cornerstones of discrete geometry. It states that, given a set $X$ of at least $(d+1)(r-1)+1$ points in $\mathbb R^d$, one can find a partition $X=X_1\cup \ldots \cup X_r$ of $X$, such that the convex hulls…

We study some measure partition problems: Cut the same positive fraction of $d+1$ measures in $\mathbb R^d$ with a hyperplane or find a convex subset of $\mathbb R^d$ on which $d+1$ given measures have the same prescribed value. For both…
