Let $E$ be a set in $\mathbb R^d$ with finite $n$-dimensional Hausdorff measure $H^n$ such that $\liminf_{r\to0}r^{-n} H^n(B(x,r)\cap E)>0$ for $H^n$-a.e. $x\in E$. In this paper it is shown that $E$ is $n$-rectifiable if and only if…

Let $E \subset \C$ be a Borel set with finite length, that is, $0<\mathcal{H}^1 (E)<\infty$. By a theorem of David and L\'eger, the $L^2 (\mathcal{H}^1 \lfloor E)$-boundedness of the singular integral associated to the Cauchy kernel (or…

In this note it is shown that if $\mu$ is an $n$-Ahlfors regular measure in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ such that the $n$-dimensional Riesz transform is bounded in $L^2(\mu)$ and the so-called BAUPP (bilateral approximation by unions of parallel…

We prove that Hilbert space is distortable and, in fact, arbitrarily distortable. This means that for all lambda >1 there exists an equivalent norm |.| on l_2 such that for all infinite dimensional subspaces Y of l_2 there exist x,y in Y…

We present a higher dimensional, scale-invariant version of a classical theorem of F. and M. Riesz. More precisely, we establish scale invariant absolute continuity of harmonic measure with respect to surface measure, along with higher…

We construct a purely unrectifiable set of finite $\mathcal H^1$-measure in every infinite dimensional separable Banach space $X$ whose image under every $0\neq x^*\in X^*$ has positive Lebesgue measure. This demonstrates completely the…

We prove bounds for the number of solutions to $$a_1 + \dots + a_k = a_1' + \dots + a_k'$$ over $N$-element sets of reals, which are sufficiently convex or near-convex. A near-convex set will be the image of a set with small additive…

We prove some sharp regularity results for solutions of classical first order hyperbolic initial boundary value problems. Our two main improvements on the existing litterature are weaker regularity assumptions for the boundary data and…

We prove bounds for the almost sure value of the Hausdorff dimension of the limsup set of a sequence of balls in $\mathbf{R}^d$ whose centres are independent, identically distributed random variables. The formulas obtained involve the rate…

Assuming that there exist (infinitely many) Siegel zeros, we show that the (Rosser-)Jurkat-Richert bounds in the linear sieve cannot be improved, and similarly look at Iwaniec's lower bound on Jacobsthal's problem, as well as minor…

A classical theorem due to Mattila (see \cite{Mat84}; see also \cite{M95}, Chapter 13) says that if $A,B \subset {\Bbb R}^d$ of Hausdorff dimension $s_A, s_B$, respectively, with $s_A+s_B \ge d$, $s_B>\frac{d+1}{2}$ and $dim_{{\mathcal…

A central problem in discrete geometry, known as Hadwiger's covering problem, asks what the smallest natural number $N\left(n\right)$ is such that every convex body in ${\mathbb R}^{n}$ can be covered by a union of the interiors of at most…

Letting $A \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be Borel measurable and $W_0 : A \to \mathbb{G}(n,m)$ Lipschitzian, we establish that \begin{equation*} \limsup_{r \to 0^+} \frac{\mathcal{H}^m \left[ A \cap B(x,r) \cap (x+ W_0(x))\right]}{\alpha(m)r^m}…

We study the Dirichlet problem in Lipschitz domains and with boundary data in Besov spaces, for divergence form strongly elliptic systems of arbitrary order, with bounded, complex-valued coefficients. Our main result gives a sharp condition…

Let $\psi:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}_+$ be a monotonically non-increasing function, and let $\psi_v:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}_+$ be defined by $\psi_v(q)=1/q^v$. In this article, we consider self-similar sets whose iterated…

In this article we address the problem of computing the dimension of the space of plane curves of degree $d$ with $n$ general points of multiplicity $m$. A conjecture of Harbourne and Hirschowitz implies that when $d \geq 3m$, the dimension…

We characterise rectifiable subsets of a complete metric space $X$ in terms of local approximation, with respect to the Gromov--Hausdorff distance, by an $n$-dimensional Banach space. In fact, if $E\subset X$ with $\mathcal{H}^n(E)<\infty$…

In this article, we study two problems concerning the size of the set of finite point configurations generated by a compact set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$. The first problem concerns how the Lebesgue measure or the Hausdorff dimension of the…

This paper concerns parameterized convex infinite (or semi-infinite) inequality systems whose decision variables run over general infinite-dimensional Banach (resp. finite-dimensional) spaces and that are indexed by an arbitrary fixed set T…

Numerous properties of vector addition systems with states amount to checking the (un)boundedness of some selective feature (e.g., number of reversals, run length). Some of these features can be checked in exponential space by using…
