Let $\PP^d$ be the $d$-fold direct product of the set of primes. We prove that if $A$ is a subset of $\PP^d$ of positive relative upper density then $A$ contains infinitely many "corners", that is sets of the form $\{x,x+te_1,...,x+te_d\}$…

Let $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$ denote the unit sphere in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 2$, equipped with surface measure $\sigma_{d-1}$. An instance of our main result concerns the regularity of solutions of the convolution equation \[…

We present a technique for deriving lower bounds for incidences with hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb R}^d$ with $d\ge 4$. These bounds apply to a large variety of hypersurfaces, such as hyperplanes, hyperspheres, paraboloids, and hypersurfaces…

We address the following generalization $P$ of the Lowner-John ellipsoid problem. Given a (non necessarily convex) compact set $K\subset R^n$ and an even integer $d$, find an homogeneous polynomial $g$ of degree $d$ such that $K\subset…

The (k,d)-hypersimplex is a (d-1)-dimensional polytope whose vertices are the (0,1)-vectors that sum to k. When k=1, we get a simplex whose graph is the complete graph with d vertices. Here we show how many of the well known graph…

In this work, the classical Borsuk conjecture is discussed, which states that any set of diameter 1 in the Euclidean space $ {\mathbb R}^d $ can be divided into $ d+1 $ parts of smaller diameter. During the last two decades, many…

The purpose of this article is to construct highly localized summability kernels on the unit sphere in ${\mathbb R}^d$ that are restrictions to the sphere of linear combinations of a small number of shifts of the fundamental solution of the…

We show that for fixed $d>3$ and $n$ growing to infinity there are at least $(n!)^{d-2 \pm o(1)}$ different labeled combinatorial types of $d$-polytopes with $n$ vertices. This is about the square of the previous best lower bounds. As an…

Metric spaces $(X, d)$ are ubiquitous objects in mathematics and computer science that allow for capturing (pairwise) distance relationships $d(x, y)$ between points $x, y \in X$. Because of this, it is natural to ask what useful…

We study the problem of determining the minimum number $f(n,k,d)$ of affine subspaces of codimension $d$ that are required to cover all points of $\mathbb{F}_2^n\setminus \{\vec{0}\}$ at least $k$ times while covering the origin at most…

We are concerned with hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{R}^N$ with constant nonlocal (or fractional) mean curvature. This is the equation associated to critical points of the fractional perimeter under a volume constraint. Our results are twofold.…

We study Delaunay hypersurfaces in $\mathbb S^n$ with $n\geq 3$ and add a missing (flower) type of the category. Moreover, embedded Delaunay hypersurfaces of nonzero constant mean curvatures in $\mathbb S^n$ are found.

We introduce the class $\Sigma_k(d)$ of $k$-stellated (combinatorial) spheres of dimension $d$ ($0 \leq k \leq d + 1$) and compare and contrast it with the class ${\cal S}_k(d)$ ($0 \leq k \leq d$) of $k$-stacked homology $d$-spheres. We…

We prove a topological extension of Dirac's theorem suggested by Gowers in 2005: for any connected, closed surface $\mathscr{S}$, we show that any two-dimensional simplicial complex on $n$ vertices in which each pair of vertices belongs to…

The colorful simplicial depth of a collection of d+1 finite sets of points in Euclidean d-space is the number of choices of a point from each set such that the origin is contained in their convex hull. We use methods from combinatorial…

We state a general formula to compute the volume of the intersection of the regular $n$-simplex with some $k$-dimensional subspace. It is known that for central hyperplanes the one through the centroid containing $n-1$ vertices gives the…

We consider the continuous $W^{2,d}$ immersions of $d$-dimensional hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ with second fundamental forms uniformly bounded in $L^d$. Two results are obtained: first, a family of such immersions is constructed,…

We prove a number of new restrictions on the enumerative properties of homology manifolds and semi-Eulerian complexes and posets. These include a determination of the affine span of the fine $h$-vector of balanced semi-Eulerian complexes…

We prove a theorem of Hadamard-Stoker type: a connected locally convex complete hypersurface immersed in $H^n \times R$ (n>1), where $H^n$ is n-dimensional hyperbolic space, is embedded and homeomorphic either to the n-sphere or to $R^n$.…

A small triangulation of the sphere product can be found in lower dimensions by computer search and is known in few other cases: Klee and Novik constructed a centrally symmetric triangulation of $\mathbb{S}^i\times \mathbb{S}^{d-i-1}$ with…
