We give sufficient conditions for the number rigidity of a translation invariant or periodic point process on $\mathbb{R}^d$, where $d=1,2$. That is, the probability distribution of the number of particles in a bounded domain $\Lambda…

In this paper we prove that given two sets $E_1,E_2 \subset \mathbb{Z}$ of positive density, there exists $k \geq 1$ which is bounded by a number depending only on the densities of $E_1$ and $E_2$ such that $k\mathbb{Z} \subset…

We show that if a compact set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ has Hausdorff dimension larger than $\frac{d}{2}+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{8d+4}$, where $d\geq 3$, then there is a point $x\in E$ such that the pinned distance set $\Delta_x(E)$ has positive…

While numerous extensions of Banach's fixed point theorem typically offer only sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point and the convergence of iterative sequences, this study introduces a generalization…

The Erd\H{o}s-Anning theorem states that every point set in the Euclidean plane with integer distances must be either collinear or finite. More strongly, for any (non-degenerate) triangle of diameter~$\delta$, at most $O(\delta^2)$ points…

In this paper we study sets of points in the plane with rational distances from r prescribed points P_1, ...,P_r. A crucial case arises for r = 3, where we provide simple necessary and sufficient conditions for the density of this set in…

Let $1 < p < \infty$, $p\neq 2$. We prove that if $d\geq d_p$ is sufficiently large, and $A\subs\R^d$ is a measurable set of positive upper density then there exists $\la_0=\la_0(A)$ such for all $\la\geq\la_0$ there are $x,y\in\R^d$ such…

For a fixed rational number g, not equal to -1,0 or 1 and integers a and d we consider the set of primes p for which the order of g(mod p) is congruent to a(mod d). For d=4 and d=3 it is shown that, under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis,…

We show that if $E \subset \mathbb{F}_q^d$, the $d$-dimensional vector space over the finite field with $q$ elements, and $|E| \geq \rho q^d$, where $ q^{-\frac{1}{2}}\ll \rho \leq 1$, then $E$ contains an isometric copy of at least $c…

We prove that uniformly random packings of copies of a certain simply-connected figure in the plane exhibit global connectedness at all sufficiently high densities, but not at low densities.

We establish sharp large deviation principles for cumulative rewards associated with a discrete-time renewal model, supposing that each renewal involves a broad-sense reward taking values in a real separable Banach space. The framework we…

A nonlinear version of Roth's theorem states that dense sets of integers contain configurations of the form $x$, $x+d$, $x+d^2$. We obtain a multidimensional version of this result, which can be regarded as a first step towards…

Motivated by questions asked by Erdos, we prove that any set $A\subset{\mathbb N}$ with positive upper density contains, for any $k\in{\mathbb N}$, a sumset $B_1+\cdots+B_k$, where $B_1,\dots,B_k\subset{\mathbb N}$ are infinite. Our proof…

In this article, we study two problems concerning the size of the set of finite point configurations generated by a compact set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$. The first problem concerns how the Lebesgue measure or the Hausdorff dimension of the…

In [Schuhmacher, Electron. J. Probab. 10 (2005), 165--201] estimates of the Barbour-Brown distance d_2 between the distribution of a thinned point process and the distribution of a Poisson process were derived by combining discretization…

In proving large deviation estimates, the lower bound for open sets and upper bound for compact sets are essentially local estimates. On the other hand, the upper bound for closed sets is global and compactness of space or an exponential…

We answer a question of Serre from the 1980s on rational points of bounded height on projective thin sets, in degree at least $4$. For degrees $2$ and $3$ we improve the known bounds in general. The focus is on thin sets of type II, namely…

In this paper we derive new upper bounds for the densities of measurable sets in R^n which avoid a finite set of prescribed distances. The new bounds come from the solution of a linear programming problem. We apply this method to obtain new…

In this paper, we study the inner and outer boundary densities of some sets with self-similar boundary having Minkowski dimension $s\textgreater{}d-1$ in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$. These quantities turn out to be crucial in some problems of set…

We prove fixed point theorems in a space with a distance function that takes values in a partially ordered monoid. On the one hand, such an approach allows one to generalize some fixed point theorems in a broad class of spaces, including…
