Let $\Lambda\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ be a lattice and let $Z\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{m+n}$ be a definable family in an o-minimal expansion of the real field, $\overline{\mathbb{R}}$. A result of Barroero and Widmer gives sharp estimates for the…

We establish finiteness of low-dimensional actions of lattices in higher-rank semisimple Lie groups and establish Zimmer's conjecture for many such groups. This builds on previous work of the authors handling the case of actions by…

Approximate lattices of Euclidean spaces, also known as Meyer sets, are aperiodic subsets with fascinating properties. In general, approximate lattices are defined as approximate subgroups of locally compact groups that are discrete and…

Banderier, Marchal, and Wallner considered Young tableaux with walls, which are similar to standard Young tableaux, except that local decreases are allowed at some walls. In this work, we prove a conjecture of Fuchs and Yu concerning 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…

Several important conjectures in Fractal Geometry can be summarised as follows: If the dimension of a self-similar measure in $\mathbb{R}$ does not equal its expected value, then the underlying iterated function system contains an exact…

The recent breakthrough of Guth, Iosevich, Ou, and Wang (2019) on the Falconer distance problem states that for a compact set $A\subset \mathbb{R}^2$, if the Hausdorff dimension of $A$ is greater than $\frac{5}{4}$, then the distance set…

Approximate lattices are aperiodic generalisations of lattices of locally compact groups that were first studied in seminal work of Yves Meyer. They are defined as those uniformly discrete approximate subgroups (symmetric subsets stable…

Given a family of complex affine planes, we show that it is trivial over a Zariski open subset of the base. The proof relies upon a relative version of the contraction theorem.

Let $k$ be a non-archimedean complete field. We prove a substitute for the reduced fiber theorem (of Bosch, L\"utkebohmert and Raynaud) that holds for every morphism $Y\to X$ flat and with geometrically reduced fibers between $k$-affinoid…

We present new families of weighted homogeneous and Newton non-degenerate line singularities that satisfy the Zariski multiplicity conjecture.

We consider lattices generated by finite Abelian groups. We prove that such a lattice is strongly eutactic, which means the normalized minimal vectors of the lattice form a spherical 2-design, if and only if the group is of odd order or if…

A long-standing conjecture of Lapidus claims that under certain conditions, self-similar fractal sets fail to be Minkowski measurable if and only if they are of lattice type. The theorem was established for fractal subsets of $\mathbb{R}$…

In this study we follow a new framework for the theory that offers us, other than traditional, a new angle to observe and investigate some relations between finite sets, F-lattice L and their elements. The theory is based on the Fuzzy…

Gallagher's theorem is a sharpening and extension of the Littlewood conjecture that holds for almost all tuples of real numbers. We provide a fibre refinement, solving a problem posed by Beresnevich, Haynes and Velani in 2015. Hitherto,…

We study properties of Diophantine exponents of lattices and so-called related "weak" uniform approximations introduced in recent papers by Oleg German, in the simplest two-dimensional case. In contrast to the multidimensional case, in the…

Large cardinals arising from the existence of arbitrarily long end elementary extension chains over models of set theory are studied here. In particular, we show that the large cardinals obtained that way (`Unfoldable cardinals') behave as…

Mubayi's Conjecture states that if $\mathcal{F}$ is a family of $k$-sized subsets of $[n] = \{1,\ldots,n\}$ which, for $k \geq d \geq 2$, satisfies $A_1 \cap\cdots\cap A_d \neq \emptyset$ whenever $|A_1 \cup\cdots\cup A_d| \leq 2k$ for all…

We prove that Bourgain's separation lemma, Lemma~20.14 [B2] holds at fixed frequencies and their neighborhoods, on sub-lattices, sub-modules of the dual lattice associated with a quasi-periodic Fourier series in two dimensions. And by…

We compare two methods of proving separable reduction theorems in functional analysis -- the method of rich families and the method of elementary submodels. We show that any result proved using rich families holds also when formulated with…
