Let $M_n^{(k)}$ denote the $k$th largest maximum of a sample $(X_1,X_2,...,X_n)$ from parent $X$ with continuous distribution. Assume there exist normalizing constants $a_n>0$, $b_n\in \mathbb{R}$ and a nondegenerate distribution $G$ such…

For a compact set $K\subset \mathbb{R}^m$, we have two indexes given under simple parameters of the set $K$ (these parameters go back to Besicovitch and Taylor in the late 50's). In the present paper we prove that with the exception of a…

We estimate non-asymptotically the probability of uniform clustering around the unit circle of the zeros of the $[m,n]$-Pad\'e approximant of a random power series $f(z) = \sum_{j=0}^\infty a_j z^j$ for $a_j$ independent, with finite first…

In this paper we prove the complete characterization of a.s. convergence of orthogonal series in terms of existence of a majorizing measure. It means that for a given $(a_n)^{\infty}_{n=1}$, $a_n>0$, series $\sum^{\infty}_{n=1}a_n\varphi_n$…

Let m be a probability measure supported on some infinite and compact set K in the complex plane and let p_n(z) be the corresponding degree n orthonormal polynomial with positive leading coefficient. Let v_n be the normalized zero counting…

We prove limit theorems for random walks with $n$ steps in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space as both $n$ and $d$ tend to infinity. One of our results states that the path of such a random walk, viewed as a compact subset of the…

A famous theorem of Kirkman says that there exists a Steiner triple system of order $n$ if and only if $n\equiv 1,3\mod{6}$. In 1973, Erd\H{o}s conjectured that one can find so-called `sparse' Steiner triple systems. Roughly speaking, the…

Slow convergence of cyclic projections implies divergence of random projections and vice versa. Let $L_1,L_2,\dots,L_K$ be a family of $K$ closed subspaces of a Hilbert space. It is well known that although the cyclic product of the…

The classical Cantor's intersection theorem states that in a complete metric space $X$, intersection of every decreasing sequence of nonempty closed bounded subsets, with diameter approaches zero, has exactly one point. In this article, we…

We compute the Hausdorff dimension of the set of simultaneously $\lambda$-well approximable points on the Veronese curve in $\RR^3$ for $1/3\le \lambda\le 3/5$. This range for $\lambda$ was predicted in the conjecture of Beresnevich and…

We survey recent work done on the values at integer points of irrational inhomogeneous quadratic forms, namely, inhomogeneous analogues of the famous Oppenheim conjecture. We also prove that the set of such forms in two variables whose set…

Which finite sets $P \subseteq \mathbb{Z}^r$ with $|P| \ge 3$ have the following property: for every $A \subseteq [N]^r$, there is some nonzero integer $d$ such that $A$ contains $(\alpha^{|P|} - o(1))N^r$ translates of $d \cdot P = \{d p :…

In this paper, we use algorithmic tools, effective dimension and Kolmogorov complexity, to study the fractal dimension of distance sets. We show that, for any analytic set $E\subseteq\R^2$ of Hausdorff dimension strictly greater than one,…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in general position in the plane. Let $R$ be a set of points disjoint from $P$ such that for every $x,y \in P$ the line through $x$ and $y$ contains a point in $R$. We show that if $|R| < \frac{3}{2}n$ and $P…

Let $p(n)$ denote the number of partitions of a natural number $n$. As $ n \to \infty$, the $n$th root of $p(n)$ tends to $1$, which is related to the Cauchy--Hadamard test for power series. Andrews also discovered an elementary proof. Sun…

We consider the probability distributions of values in the complex plane attained by Fourier sums of the form \sum_{j=1}^n a_j exp(-2\pi i j nu) /sqrt{n} when the frequency nu is drawn uniformly at random from an interval of length 1. If…

In 1963, Anton Kotzig famously conjectured that $K_{n}$, the complete graph of order $n$, where $n$ is even, can be decomposed into $n-1$ perfect matchings such that every pair of these matchings forms a Hamilton cycle. The problem is still…

We establish pointwise almost everywhere convergence for the polynomial multiple ergodic averages $$\frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=1}^N \La(n) f_1(T^{P_1(n)} x)\cdots f_k(T^{P_k(n)} x)$$ as $N\to \infty$, where $\La$ is the von Mangoldt function, $T…

We consider a non-relativistic quantum particle in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d=2$ or $d = 3$, interacting with singular zero-range potentials concentrated on a large collection of points. We analyze the homogenization regime where the intensities of…

It is shown that for every $\e\in (0,1)$, every compact metric space $(X,d)$ has a compact subset $S\subseteq X$ that embeds into an ultrametric space with distortion $O(1/\e)$, and $$\dim_H(S)\ge (1-\e)\dim_H(X),$$ where $\dim_H(\cdot)$…
