We obtain nontrivial exponents for Erd\H os-Falconer type problems. Let $T_k(E)$ denote the set of distinct congruent $k$-dimensional simplexes determined by $(k+1)$-tuples of points from $E$. We prove that there exists $s_0(d)<d$ such…
For every integer $n \geq 3$, we prove that the n-sublinear generalization of the Bi-Carleson operator of Muscalu, Tao, and Thiele given by nC^{\vec{\alpha}} :(f_1,..., f_n) \mapsto \sup_{M} \left| \int_{\vec{\xi} \cdot \vec{\alpha} >0,…
Let $\left\{a_1, \dots, a_n\right\} \subset \mathbb{N}$ be a set of positive integers, $a_n$ denoting the largest element, so that for any two of the $2^n$ subsets the sum of all elements is distinct. Erd\H{o}s asked whether this implies…
We provide conditions for the existence of measurable solutions to the equation $\xi(T\omega)=f(\omega,\xi(\omega))$, where $T:\Omega \rightarrow\Omega$ is an automorphism of the probability space $\Omega$ and $f(\omega,\cdot)$ is a…
We prove that if $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\geq 2$) is a Lebesgue-measurable set with density larger than $\frac{n-2}{n-1}$, then $E$ contains similar copies of every $n$-point set $P$ at all sufficiently large scales. Moreover,…
In this paper we show that every set $A \subset \mathbb{N}$ with positive density contains $B+C$ for some pair $B,C$ of infinite subsets of $\mathbb{N}$, settling a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s. The proof features two different decompositions of…
In this paper we investigate the Erd\"os/Falconer distance conjecture for a natural class of sets statistically, though not necessarily arithmetically, similar to a lattice. We prove a good upper bound for spherical means that have been…
If A is a nonnegative matrix whose associated directed graph is strongly connected, the Perron-Frobenius theorem asserts that A has an eigenvector in the positive cone, (R^+)^n. We associate a directed graph to any homogeneous, monotone…
The Erd\H{o}s--Hajnal Theorem asserts that non-universal graphs, that is, graphs that do not contain an induced copy of some fixed graph $H$, have homogeneous sets of size significantly larger than one can generally expect to find in a…
We explore the occurrence of point configurations within non-meager (second category) Baire sets. A celebrated result of Steinhaus asserts that $A+B$ and $A-B$ contain an interval whenever $A$ and $B$ are sets of positive Lebesgue measure…
Let $A$ be a subset of positive relative upper density of $\PP^d$, the $d$-tuples of primes. We prove that $A$ contains an affine copy of any finite set $F\subs\Z^d$, which provides a natural multi-dimensional extension of the theorem of…
A famous theorem of Erdos and Szekeres states that any sequence of $n$ distinct real numbers contains a monotone subsequence of length at least $\sqrt{n}$. Here, we prove a positive fraction version of this theorem. For $n > (k-1)^2$, any…
The basic theme of this paper is the fact that if $A$ is a finite set of integers, then the sum and product sets cannot both be small. A precise formulation of this fact is Conjecture 1 below due to Erd\H os-Szemer\'edi [E-S]. (see also…
We resolve the topological version of the Erd\H{o}s Similarity conjecture introduced previously by Gallagher, Lai and Weber. We show that a set is topologically universal on ${\mathbb R}$ if and only if it is of strong measure zero. As a…
In a recent paper, Kolountzakis and Papageorgiou ask if for every $\epsilon \in (0,1]$, there exists a set $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ such that $\vert S \cap I\vert \geq 1 - \epsilon$ for every interval $I \subset \mathbb{R}$ with unit…
Federer's characterization states that a set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is of finite perimeter if and only if $\mathcal H^{n-1}(\partial^*E)<\infty$. Here the measure-theoretic boundary $\partial^*E$ consists of those points where both $E$ and…
We study the Erd\H os-Falconer distance problem for a set $A\subset \mathbb{F}^2$, where $\mathbb{F}$ is a field of positive characteristic $p$. If $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{F}_p$ and the cardinality $|A|$ exceeds $p^{5/4}$, we prove that $A$…
We establish a non-Archimedean analogue of Koksma's theorem. For a local field F of characteristic zero, we prove that the sequence ([{\alpha}x^n]) is uniformly distributed in the valuation ring O for almost every x with |x|_p>1. In the…
Let $F$ be a Bedford-McMullen carpet defined by independent integer exponents. We prove that for every line $\ell \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ not parallel to the major axes, $$ \dim_H (\ell \cap F) \leq \max \left\lbrace 0,\, \frac{\dim_H…
In this paper, we study the cardinality of the distance set $\Delta(A, B)$ determined by two subsets $A$ and $B$ of the $d$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Assuming that $A$ or $B$ lies in a $k$-coordinate plane…
