We consider a finite fields version of the Erd\H{o}s-Falconer distance problem for two different sets. In a certain range for the sizes of the two sets we obtain results of the conjectured order of magnitude.
Erd\H{o}s-Stone Theorem is a well-known result in extremal graph theory which determines the asymptotic behaviour of maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $H$-free graph. In 2009, Nikiforov gave a spectral version of Erd\H{o}s-Stone…
We use ergodic theoretic tools to solve a classical problem in geometric Ramsey theory. Let E be a measurable subset of R^m, with positive upper density. Let V={0,v_1,...,v_k} be a subset of R^m. We show that for r large enough, we can find…
Delete the edges of a Kneser graph independently of each other with some probability: for what probabilities is the independence number of this random graph equal to the independence number of the Kneser graph itself? We prove a sharp…
We establish the order of the maximum length of an increasing sequence, bounded by $n$, in which the largest prime divisor of the elements form a decreasing sequence.
The celebrated canonical Ramsey theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Rado implies that for a given $k$-uniform hypergraph (or $k$-graph) $H$, if $n$ is sufficiently large then any colouring of the edges of the complete $k$-graph $K^{(k)}_n$ gives rise…
Motivated by intuitions from projective algebraic geometry, we provide a novel construction of subsets of the $d$-dimensional grid $[n]^d$ of size $n - o(n)$ with no $d + 2$ points on a sphere or a hyperplane. For $d = 2$, this improves the…
An existence result is shown for the asymptotic Dirichlet problem for harmonic maps from the product of the hyperbolic planes to the hyperbolic space, where the Dirichlet data is given on the distinguished boundary (the product of the…
How can one change a system, in order to change its statistical properties in a prescribed way? In this note we consider a control problem related to the theory of linear response. Given an expanding map of the unit circle with an…
Consider classical Kneser's graph $K(n,r)$: for two natural numbers $ r, n $ such that $r \le n / 2$, its vertices are all the subsets of $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ of size $r$, and two such vertices are adjacent if the corresponding subsets…
We classify triangles that can be tiled only into a square number of congruent triangles, settling Erd\H{o}s Problem 633.
A natural open problem in Ramsey theory is to determine those $3$-graphs $H$ for which the off-diagonal Ramsey number $r(H, K_n^{(3)})$ grows polynomially with $n$. We make substantial progress on this question by showing that if $H$ is…
We study the dynamics of a piecewise map defined on the set of three pairwise nonparallel, nonconcurrent lines in $\mathbb{R}^2$. The geometric map of study may be analogized to the billiard map with a different reflection rule so that each…
We describe constructions of infinite graphs which are not representable as integral graphs in the plane, addressing a question of Erd\H{o}s. We also mention some related problems.
In 1980, Paul Erd\H{o}s posed the following problem: For every positive integer $n,$ determine a nonhamiltonian graph of order $n$ having the maximum number of Hamilton paths. We solve the more general problem of determining the…
In an attempt to propose more general conditions for decoherence to occur, we study spectral and ergodic properties of unital, completely positive maps on not necessarily unital $C^*$-algebras, with a particular focus on gapped maps for…
We study quasiperiodically forced circle endomorphisms, homotopic to the identity, and show that under suitable conditions these exhibit uncountably many minimal sets with a complicated structure, to which we refer to as `strangely…
The upper tail problem in a sparse Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph asks for the probability that the number of copies of some fixed subgraph exceeds its expected value by a constant factor. We study the analogous problem for oriented subgraphs in…
According to a classical result of Spencer, Szemer\'edi, and Trotter (1984), the maximum number of times the unit distance can occur among $n$ points in the plane is $O(n^{4/3})$. This is far from Erd\H{o}s's lower bound, $n^{1+O(1/\log\log…
Let $\Delta_s=R(K_3,K_s)-R(K_3,K_{s-1})$, where $R(G,H)$ is the Ramsey number of graphs $G$ and $H$ defined as the smallest $n$ such that any edge coloring of $K_n$ with two colors contains $G$ in the first color or $H$ in the second color.…
