We study some variants of the Erd\H{o}s similarity problem. We pose the question if every measurable subset of the real line with positive measure contains a similar copy of an infinite geometric progression. We construct a compact subset…

Keich (1999) showed that the sharp gauge function for the generalized Hausdorff dimension of Besicovitch sets in $\mathbb R^2$ is between $r^2\log 1/r$ and $r^2(\log 1/r) (\log\log 1/r)^{2+\varepsilon}$ by refining an argument of Bourgain…

We generalize a classical theorem of Besicovitch, showing that, for any positive integers $k<n$, if $E\subset \mathbb R^n$ is a Souslin set which is not $\mathcal{H}^k$-$\sigma$-finite, then $E$ contains a purely unrectifiable closed set…

We prove that the bracket width of the simple Lie algebra of vector fields $\rm{Vec}(C)$ of a smooth irreducible affine curve $C$ with a trivial tangent sheaf is at most three. In addition, if $C$ is a plane curve, the bracket width of…

Through Borel summation, one can often reconstruct an analytic solution of a problem from its asymptotic expansion. We view the effectiveness of Borel summation as a regularity property of the solution, and we show that the solutions of…

The Ehresmann connection on a fiber bundle that is not compatible with a (possible) Lie group structure is illustrated by the geometry of a general anholonomic observer in the Minkowski space. The 3D split of Maxwell's equations induces…

We study the complexity with respect to Borel reducibility of the relations of isometry and isometric embeddability between ultrametric Polish spaces for which a set $D$ of possible distances is fixed in advance. These are, respectively, an…

A central question in geometric measure theory is whether geometric properties of a set translate into analytical ones. In 1960, E. R. Reifenberg proved that if an $n$-dimensional subset $M$ of $\mathbb{R}^{n+k}$ is well approximated by…

We prove that entire conformal curves $\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^m$ fall into two classes: either the curve is affine or the average energy in a ball is strictly increasing for large radii and diverges to infinity. This rigidity…

We improve a special case of the Lam-Leung lower bound on the number of elements in a vanishing sum of $N$-th roots of unity. Using this result, we extend the Favard length estimates due to Bond, {\L}aba, and Volberg to a new class of…

The size sz(G) of an l_1-graph G=(V,E) is the minimum of n_f/t_f over all its possible l_1-embeddings f into n_f-dimensional hypercube with scale t_f. In terms of v=|V|, the sum of distances between all the pairs of vertices of G is at most…

The width of a convex curve in the plane is the minimal distance between a pair of parallel supporting lines of the curve. In this paper we study the width of nodal lines of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the standard flat torus. We…

It is hereby established that the set of Lipschitz functions $f:\mathcal{U}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ ($\mathcal{U}$ nonempty open subset of $\ell_{d}^{1}$) with maximal Clarke subdifferential contains a linear subspace of uncountable…

Let $\Cant_n$ be the $n$-th generation in the construction of the middle-half Cantor set. The Cartesian square $\K_n = \Cant_n \times \Cant_n$ consists of $4^n$ squares of side-length $4^{-n}$. The chance that a long needle thrown at random…

For $\Gamma$ a cofinite Fuchsian group, and $l$ a fixed closed geodesic, we study the asymptotics of the number of those images of $l$ that have a prescribed orientation and distance from $l$ less than or equal to $X$. Using a new relative…

We study fundamental groups of toroidal compactifications of non compact ball quotients and show that the Shafarevich conjecture on holomorphic convexity for these complex projective manifolds is satisfied in dimension 2 provided the…

We formulate a generalization of the volume conjecture for planar graphs. Denoting by <G, c> the Kauffman bracket of the graph G whose edges are decorated by real "colors" c, the conjecture states that, under suitable conditions, certain…

The Loop Vertex Expansion (LVE) is a quantum field theory (QFT) method which explicitly computes the Borel sum of Feynman perturbation series. This LVE relies in a crucial way on symmetric tree weights which define a measure on the set of…

We show that if A is a linear order then Th(A) is either $\aleph_0$-categorical or Borel complete (in the sense of Friedman and Stanley). We generalize this; if A has countably many unary predicates attached, then Th(A) is…

The subject of the present paper is Grothendieck's Lefschetz standard conjecture $B(X)$. Our main result is that, if $X$ is a projective smooth variety of dimension $n$ and the conjecture $B({\cal Y})$ holds for the generic fibre ${\cal Y}$…
