We study the irregularities of distribution on two-point homogeneous spaces. Our main result is the following: let $d$ be the real dimension of a two point homogeneous space $\mathcal{M}$, let $\left( \{ a_{j}\} _{j=1}^{N},\{ x_{j}\}…
We provide a simple proof that in any homogeneous, compact metric space of diameter $D$, if one finds the average distance $A$ achieved in $X$ with respect to some isometry invariant Borel probability measure, then $$\frac{D}{2} \leq A \leq…
We study the $L^{\infty}$ discrepancy of point sets generated by determinantal point processes on all compact, connected two-point homogeneous spaces, namely spheres and projective spaces. Using concentration inequalities and variance…

A celebrated result of Beck shows that for any set of $N$ points on $\mathbb{S}^d$ there always exists a spherical cap $B \subset \mathbb{S}^d$ such that number of points in the cap deviates from the expected value $\sigma(B) \cdot N$ by at…

We consider point distributions in compact connected two-point homogeneous spaces (Riemannian symmetric spaces of rank one). All such spaces are known, they are the spheres in the Euclidean spaces, the real, complex and quaternionic…
We derive bounds for the ball $L_p$-discrepancies in the Hamming space for $0<p<\infty$ and $p=\infty$. Sharp estimates of discrepancies have been obtained for many spaces such as the Euclidean spheres and more general compact Riemannian…
Geometric properties of $N$ random points distributed independently and uniformly on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d}\subset\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ with respect to surface area measure are obtained and several related conjectures are posed. In…
Recall that the radius of a compact metric space $(X, dist)$ is given by $rad\ X = \min_{x\in X} \max_{y\in X} dist(x,y)$. In this paper we generalize Berger's $\frac{1}{4}$-pinched rigidity theorem and show that a closed, simply connected,…
We derive fundamental asymptotic results for the expected covering radius $\rho(X_N)$ for $N$ points that are randomly and independently distributed with respect to surface measure on a sphere as well as on a class of smooth manifolds. For…
On a smooth compact connected $d$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$, if $0 < s < d$ then an asymptotically equidistributed sequence of finite subsets of $M$ that is also well-separated yields a sequence of Riesz $s$-energies that…
In this paper we consider the setting of a locally compact, non-complete metric measure space $(Z,d,\nu)$ equipped with a doubling measure $\nu$, under the condition that the boundary $\partial Z:=\overline{Z}\setminus Z$ (obtained by…
We compute the spherical cap discrepancy of the Diamond ensemble (a set of evenly distributed spherical points) as well as some other quantities. We also define an area regular partition on the sphere where each region contains exactly one…

In this paper we study the geometric discrepancy of explicit constructions of uniformly distributed points on the two-dimensional unit sphere. We show that the spherical cap discrepancy of random point sets, of spherical digital nets and of…

We propose a unified computational framework for the problem of deformation and rigidity of submanifolds in a homogeneous space under geometric constraint. A notion of 1-rigidity of a submanifold under admissible deformations is introduced.…
