We prove the uniqueness theorem for asymptotically flat static vacuum black hole solutions in higher dimensional space-times. We also construct infinitely many non-asymptotically flat regular static black holes on the same spacetime…
Consider a $p$-random subset $A$ of initially infected vertices in the discrete cube $[L]^3$, and assume that the neighbourhood of each vertex consists of the $a_i$ nearest neighbours in the $\pm e_i$-directions for each $i \in \{1,2,3\}$,…
A continuous map C^d -> C^N is a complex k-regular embedding if any k pairwise distinct points in C^d are mapped by f into k complex linearly independent vectors in C^N. Our central result on complex k-regular embeddings extends results of…
We strengthen the usual stability theorem for Vietoris-Rips (VR) persistent homology of finite metric spaces by building upon constructions due to Usher and Zhang in the context of filtered chain complexes. The information present at the…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane, and let $\mathcal C$ be a collection of $n$ simple $k$-intersecting curves, meaning that every two distinct curves of $\mathcal C$ meet in at most $k$ points. A classical theorem of Pach and…
We study the persistence in a class of continuous stochastic processes that are stationary only under integer shifts of time. We show that under certain conditions, the persistence of such a continuous process reduces to the persistence of…
In this paper, we study the relationship between quadratic persistence and the Pythagoras number of totally real projective varieties. Building upon the foundational work of Blekherman et al. in arXiv:1902.02754, we extend their…
We provide a new quantitative version of Helly's theorem: there exists an absolute constant $\alpha >1$ with the following property: if $\{P_i: i\in I\}$ is a finite family of convex bodies in ${\mathbb R}^n$ with ${\rm int}\left…
According to a classical result of Szemer\'{e}di, every dense subset of $1,2,...,N$ contains an arbitrary long arithmetic progression, if $N$ is large enough. Its analogue in higher dimensions due to F\"urstenberg and Katznelson says that…
The aim of this paper is to present a method for computation of persistent homology that performs well at large filtration values. To this end we introduce the concept of filtered covers. We show that the persistent homology of a bounded…
By definition, a rigid graph in $\mathbb{R}^d$ (or on a sphere) has a finite number of embeddings up to rigid motions for a given set of edge length constraints. These embeddings are related to the real solutions of an algebraic system.…
In this paper we are proving the following fact. Let P be an arbitrary simple polygon, and let S be an arbitrary set of 15 points inside P. Then there exists a subset T of S that is not "visually discernible", that is, T is not equal to the…
The probability of finding a spherical cavity or "hole" of arbitrarily large size in typical disordered many-particle systems in the infinite-size limit (e.g., equilibrium liquid states) is non-zero. Such "hole" statistics are intimately…
Pach showed that every $d+1$ sets of points $Q_1,\dotsc,Q_{d+1} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ contain linearly-sized subsets $P_i\subset Q_i$ such that all the transversal simplices that they span intersect. We show, by means of an example, that a…
Given a finite set $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, points $a_1,a_2,\dotsc,a_{\ell} \in A$ form an $\ell$-hole in $A$ if they are the vertices of a convex polytope which contains no points of $A$ in its interior. We construct arbitrarily large…
For a finite set of points $P$ in $R^d$, the function $d_P: R^d \to R^+$ measures Euclidean distance to the set $P$. We study the number of critical points of $d_P$ when $P$ is a Poisson process. In particular, we study the limit behavior…
The Erd\H os unit distance conjecture in the plane says that the number of pairs of points from a point set of size $n$ separated by a fixed (Euclidean) distance is $\leq C_{\epsilon} n^{1+\epsilon}$ for any $\epsilon>0$. The best known…
Consider a Poisson point process within a convex set in a Euclidean space. The Vietoris-Rips complex is the clique complex over the graph connecting all pairs of points with distance at most $\delta$. Summing powers of the volume of all…
Persistent homology was shown by Carlsson and Zomorodian to be homology of graded chain complexes with coefficients in the graded ring $\kk[t]$. As such, the behavior of persistence modules -- graded modules over $\kk[t]$ is an important…
