It is well known that a positive proportion of all points in a $d$-dimensional lattice is visible from the origin, and that these visible lattice points have constant density in $\mathbb{R}^d$. In the present paper we prove an analogous…

The Erd\H{o}s distinct distance problem is a ubiquitous problem in discrete geometry. Somewhat less well known is Erd\H{o}s' distinct angle problem, the problem of finding the minimum number of distinct angles between $n$ non-collinear…

An old question posed by Erd\H{o}s asked whether there exists a set of $n$ points such that $c \cdot n$ distances occur more than $n$ times. We provide an affirmative answer to this question, showing that there exists a set of $n$ points…

Let $S$ be a set of points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ contained in a circle and $P$ an unrestricted point set in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove the number of distinct distances between points in $S$ and points in $P$ is at least…

In this paper, we prove that two different observers don't equally measure the distance between two points A and B. For this, we introduce some postulates and obtain a new formula to show distance between A and B. In this formula, radius of…

We prove that if a subset of a $d$-dimensional vector space over a finite field with $q$ elements has more than $q^{d-1}$ elements, then it determines all the possible directions. If a set has more than $q^k$ elements, it determines a…

Let $d \geq 3$ be a natural number. We show that for all finite, non-empty sets $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ that are not contained in a translate of a hyperplane, we have \[ |A-A| \geq (2d-2)|A| - O_d(|A|^{1- \delta}),\] where $\delta >0$ is…

Let $h(d)$ be the class number of indefinite binary quadratic forms of discriminant $d$, and let $\varepsilon_d$ be the corresponding fundamental unit. In this paper, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the $k$-th moment of $h(d)$ over…

Let $d,m_1,...,m_r$ be ($r+1$) positive integers, and $P_1,...,P_r$ be $r$ general points in the projective plane ; let $m$ be a positive integer. We prove that there exists a bound $d_0(m)$ such that : If $m_i < m$ ($0<i<r+1$), and $d >…

We highlight a certain compactness of Sidon sets and $B_2[g]$-sets and provide several applications. Notably, we prove the existence of such sets that maximize certain functions. In particular, we show the existence of a Sidon set whose…

Suppose that $K \subseteq \RR^d$ is a 0-symmetric convex body which defines the usual norm $$ \Norm{x}_K = \sup\Set{t\ge 0: x \notin tK} $$ on $\RR^d$. Let also $A\subseteq\RR^d$ be a measurable set of positive upper density $\rho$. We show…

A finite subset $X$ of the Euclidean space is called an $m$-distance set if the number of distances between two distinct points in $X$ is equal to $m$. An $m$-distance set $X$ is said to be maximal if any vector cannot be added to $X$ while…

We prove that, for every polyhedral or $C^1$ norm on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and every set $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ of packing dimension $s$, the packing dimension of the distance set of $E$ with respect to that norm is at least $\tfrac{s}{d}$.…

Erd\H{o}s and Fishburn studied the maximum number of points in the plane that span $k$ distances and classified these configurations, as an inverse problem of the Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem. We consider the analogous problem for…

Consider a dataset of n(d) points generated independently from R^d according to a common p.d.f. f_d with support(f_d) = [0,1]^d and sup{f_d([0,1]^d)} growing sub-exponentially in d. We prove that: (i) if n(d) grows sub-exponentially in d,…

Let $\# K$ be a number of integer lattice points contained in a set $K$. In this paper we prove that for each $d\in {\mathbb N}$ there exists a constant $C(d)$ depending on $d$ only, such that for any origin-symmetric convex body $K \subset…

We show that one can always identify a point on an algebraic variety $X$ uniquely with $\dim X +1$ generic linear measurements taken themselves from a variety under minimal assumptions. As illustrated by several examples the result is…

Given a set $X\subseteq\mathbb{R}^2$ of $n$ points and a distance $d>0$, the multiplicity of $d$ is the number of times the distance $d$ appears between points in $X$. Let $a_1(X) \geq a_2(X) \geq \cdots \geq a_m(X)$ denote the…
