We show that the number of lattice points lying in a thin annulus has a Gaussian value distribution if the width of the annulus tends to zero sufficiently slowly as we increase the inner radius.

In a $d$-dimensional convex body $K$ random points $X_0, \dots, X_d$ are chosen. Their convex hull is a random simplex. The expected volume of a random simplex is monotone under set inclusion, if $K \subset L$ implies that the expected…

Let X Nv(0, {\Lambda}) be a normal vector in v dimensions, where {\Lambda} is diagonal. With reference to the truncated distribution of X on the interior of a v-dimensional Euclidean ball, we completely prove a variance inequality and a…

Which permutations of a probability distribution on integers minimize variance? Let $X$ be a random variable on a set of integers $\{x_1, \dots, x_N\}$ such that $\mathbb{P}(X_i = x_i) = p_i$, $i \in \{1,\dots,N\}$. Let $(p^{(1)}, \dots,…

Choose n random, independent points in R^d according to a fixed distribution. The convex hull of these points is a random polytope. In some cases, central limit theorems have been proven for the components of f-vectors of random polytopes…

We show that a signal can propagate in a particular direction through a model random medium regardless of the precise state of the medium. As a prototype, we consider a point particle moving on a one-dimensional lattice whose sites are…

We investigate the average number of lattice points within a ball for the $n$th cyclotomic number field, where the lattice is chosen at random from the set of unit determinant ideal lattices of the field. We show that this average is nearly…

We study fluctuations of the error term for the number of integer lattice points lying inside a 3-dimensional Cygan-Kor\'anyi ball of large radius. We prove that the error term, suitably normalized, has a limiting value distribution which…

Let R=(r_1, ..., r_m) and C=(c_1, ..., c_n) be positive integer vectors such that r_1 +... + r_m=c_1 +... + c_n. We consider the set Sigma(R, C) of non-negative mxn integer matrices (contingency tables) with row sums R and column sums C as…

In this paper, we study the number of real roots of random trigonometric polynomials with iid coefficients. When the coefficients have zero mean, unit variance and some finite high moments, we show that the variance of the number of real…

We study the error of the number of points of a lattice $L$ that belong to a rectangle, centred at $0$, whose axes are parallel to the coordinate axes, dilated by a factor $t$ and then translated by a vector $X \in \mathbb{R}^{2}$. When we…

Fix a subset $S \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ of volume at most $c n$ that satisfies $S \cap (-S) = \emptyset$. We consider two point processes in $S$: the first is the Poisson point process of intensity one, and the second is the restriction of a…

Let $C\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ be a convex body, and for a positive integer $N$, let $\mathcal{P}$ be a configuration of $N$ points in $[0,1)^2$. The discrepancy of $\mathcal{P}$ with respect to $C$ is defined by \begin{equation*}…

We prove a fairly general inequality that estimates the number of lattice points in a ball of positive radius in general position in a Euclidean space. The bound is uniform over lattices induced by a matrix having a bounded operator norm.

Given a variety over $\mathbb{Q}$, we study the distribution of the number of primes dividing the coordinates as we vary an integral point. Under suitable assumptions, we show that this has a multivariate normal distribution. We generalise…

It is generally hard to count, or even estimate, how many integer points lie in a polytope P. Barvinok and Hartigan have approached the problem by way of information theory, showing how to efficiently compute a random vector which samples…

We study integer programming instances over polytopes P(A,b)={x:Ax<=b} where the constraint matrix A is random, i.e., its entries are i.i.d. Gaussian or, more generally, its rows are i.i.d. from a spherically symmetric distribution. The…

It is known that the distribution of an integrable random vector $\xi$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is uniquely determined by a $(d+1)$-dimensional convex body called the lift zonoid of $\xi$. This concept is generalised to define the lift expectation…
