This article is an exposition of recent results on self-similar sets, asserting that if the dimension is smaller than the trivial upper bound then there are almost overlaps between cylinders. We give a heuristic derivation of the theorem…

We describe a class of measurable subsets $\Omega$ in $\br^d$ such that $L^2(\Omega)$ has an orthogonal basis of frequencies $e_\lambda(x)=e^{i2\pi\lambda\cdot x}(x\in\Omega)$ indexed by $\lambda\in\Lambda\subset\br^d$. We show that such…

In this paper we shall show that there exists a polynomial unimodal map f: [0,1] -> [0,1] which is 1) non-renormalizable(therefore for each x from a residual set, $\omega(x)$ is equal to an interval), 2) for which $\omega(c)$ is a Cantor…

The famous contradiction of a bijection between a set and its power set is a consequence of the impredicative definition involved. This is shown by the fact that a simple mapping between equivalent sets does also fail to satisfy the…

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…

Easily computable lower and upper bounds are found for the sum of Catalan numbers. The lower bound is proven to be tighter than the upper bound, which previously was declared to be only an asymptotic. The average of these bounds is proven…

Some of the more powerful results of mathematical statistics are becoming of increasing importance in statistical mechanics. Here the use of the central limit theorem in conjunction with the canonical ensemble is shown to lead to an…

We construct Ahlfors regular Cantor sets $K$ of small dimension in the plane, such that the Hausdorff measure on $K$ is equivalent to the harmonic measure associated to its complement. In particular the Green function in $R^2 \backslash K$…

For a countable ordinal epsilon we construct a Sigma^0_2 subset of the Cantor space for which one may force aleph_epsilon translations with intersections of size 2i, but such that it has no perfect set of such translations in any ccc…

We consider equally-weighted Cantor measures $\mu_{q,b}$ arising from iterated function systems of the form ${b^{-1}(x+i)}$, $i=0,1,...,q-1$, where $q<b$. We classify the $(q,b)$ so that they have infinitely many mutually orthogonal…

Let $M$ be a compact connected manifold of dimension $n$ endowed with a conformal class $C$ of Riemannian metrics of volume one. For any integer $k\geq0$, we consider the conformal invariant $\lambda_k ^c (C)$ defined as the supremum of the…

We investigate the question under which conditions the algebraic difference between two independent random Cantor sets $C_1$ and $C_2$ almost surely contains an interval, and when not. The natural condition is whether the sum $d_1+d_2$ of…

The complex Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin symmetric convex bodies in C^n with smaller central hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller volume. The answer is affirmative if n\leq 3 and negative if n\geq 4. In this article we…

In this paper, we obtain \textit{quantitative} estimates on the fine structure of the singular set of the mutual boundary $\partial \Omega^{\pm}$ for pairs of complementary domains, $\Omega^+, \Omega^- \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ which arise in a…

The critical point between varieties A and B of algebras is defined as the least cardinality of the semilattice of compact congruences of a member of A but of no member of B, if it exists. The study of critical points gives rise to a whole…

Let $\mu_{q, b}$ be the Cantor measure associated with the iterated function system $f_i(x)=x/b+i/q, 0\le i\le q-1$, where $2\le q, b/q\in \Z$. In this paper, we consider spectra and maximal orthogonal sets of the Cantor measure $\mu_{q,…

Let $(c_k)_{k\in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of positive integers. We investigate the set of $A>1$ such that the integer part of $A^{c_1\cdots c_k}$ is always a prime number for every positive integer $k$. Let $\mathcal{W}(c_k)$ be this set.…

A lower bound on the grand partition function of a classical charge-symmetric system is adapted to the neutral grand canonical ensemble, in which the system is constrained to have zero total charge. This constraint permits us to consider…

It follows from a theorem of Rosenthal that a compact space is $ccc$ if and only if every Eberlein continuous image is metrizable. Motivated by this result, for a class of compact spaces $\mathcal{C}$ we define its orthogonal…

We evaluate the values of the Lebesgue constants in polynomial interpolation for three types of Cantor sets. In all cases, the sequences of Lebesgue constants are not bounded. This disproves the statement by Mergelyan.
