We establish the existence, finiteness, and uniqueness up to scaling of various isoperimetric profiles of a group, in all dimensions. We also show that these profiles all coincide in dimensions 4 and higher; in particular, the nth Dehn…

Let $M$ be a compact $d$-dimensional Riemannian manifold without a boundary. Given $E \subset M$, let $\Delta_{\rho}(E)=\{\rho(x,y): x,y \in E \}$, where $\rho$ is the Riemannian metric on $M$. Let $\Delta_{\rho}^x$ denote the pinned…

We prove that every closed set which is not sigma-finite with respect to the Hausdorff measure H^{N-1} carries singularities of continuous vector fields in the Euclidean space R^N for the divergence operator. We also show that finite…

We give an infinitesimal criterion, in the analytic setting, for a vector space to be locally homogeneous under some group action. Our approach differs from those which resort to an inverse function theorem (e.g. those of Moser, Zehnder or…

Let $\Lambda$ be the limit set of a conformal dynamical system, i.e. a Kleinian group acting on either finite- or infinite-dimensional real Hilbert space, a conformal iterated function system, or a rational function. We give an easily…

Furstenberg, Katznelson and Weiss proved in the early 1980s that every measurable subset of the plane with positive density at infinity has the property that all sufficiently large real numbers are realised as the Euclidean distance between…

We prove that, provided $d > k$, every sufficiently large subset of $\mathbf{F}_q^d$ contains an isometric copy of every $k$-simplex that avoids spanning a nontrivial self-orthogonal subspace. We obtain comparable results for simplices…

Given a set $X$ and a collection ${\mathcal H}$ of functions from $X$ to $\{0,1\}$, the VC-dimension measures the complexity of the hypothesis class $\mathcal{H}$ in the context of PAC learning. In recent years, this has been connected to…

In this paper, we use algorithmic tools, effective dimension and Kolmogorov complexity, to study the fractal dimension of distance sets. We show that, for any analytic set $E\subseteq\R^2$ of Hausdorff dimension strictly greater than one,…

Let K be a simplicial complex with vertex set V = {v_1,..., v_n}. The complex K is d-representable if there is a collection {C_1,...,C_n} of convex sets in R^d such that a subcollection {C_{i_1},...,C_{i_j}} has a nonempty intersection if…

In this paper we study some generalized versions of a recent result due to Covert, Koh, and Pi (2015). More precisely, we prove that if a subset $\mathcal{E}$ in a regular variety satisfies $|\mathcal{E}|\gg…

We study bound-state solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation $\varphi^{\prime\prime}(x) =\big[m^2-\big(E-v\,f(x)\big)^2\big] \varphi(x),$ for bounded vector potentials which in one spatial dimension have the form $V(x) = v\,f(x),$ where…

The classical Painlev\'e theorem tells that sets of zero length are removable for bounded analytic functions, while (some) sets of positive length are not. For general $K$-quasiregular mappings in planar domains the corresponding critical…

In this paper, we investigate properties of a reproducing kernel Hilbert space of a group action. In particular, we introduce an equivalence relation on a compact Hausdorff space $X$, and consequently establish three equivalent definitions…

For a fixed $\theta^2=1/m$, $m \in \mathbb{N}_+$, let $x \in [0, \theta)$ and $[a_1(x) \theta, a_2(x) \theta, \ldots]$ be the $\theta$-expansion of $x$. Our first goal is to extend for $\theta$-expansions the results of Jarnik \cite{J-1928}…

We investigate the existence of compact Hausdorff spaces $X$ that are minimum with respect to $cX=K$ for some fixed covering operator $c$ and compact Hausdorff space $K$ with $cK=K$. Then, using the Yosida representation theorem, we show…

We prove that harmonic maps into Euclidean buildings, which are not necessarily locally finite, have singular sets of Hausdorff codimension 2, extending the locally finite regularity result of Gromov and Schoen. As an application, we prove…

In this paper, we study the deformation of the intersection of one compact set with a closed neighborhood of another compact set by changing the radius of this neighborhood. It is shown that in finite-dimensional normed spaces, in the case…

We prove that the set of $n$-point configurations for which the solution of the planar Steiner problem is not unique has the Hausdorff dimension at most $2n-1$ (as a subset of $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$). Moreover, we show that the Hausdorff…

We prove combination theorems in the spirit of Klein and Maskit in the context of discrete convergence groups acting geometrically finitely on their limit sets. As special cases, we obtain combination theorems for geometrically finite…
