We introduce the class of almost symmetric submanifolds of Euclidean space, a close relative of symmetric submanifolds and (contact) sub-Riemannian symmetric spaces. More specifically, we prove that every full irreducible almost symmetric…

An immersion of a compact manifold is tight if it admits the minimal total absolute curvature over all immersions of the manifold. A prominent result in the study of minimal total absolute curvature immersions is the theorem of Chern and…

Using the notion of Dubiner distance, we give an elementary proof of the fact that good covering point configurations on the 2-sphere are optimal polynomial meshes. From these we extract Caratheodory-Tchakaloff (CATCH) submeshes for…

We prove an analogue of Sadullaev's theorem concerning the size of the set where a maximal totally real manifold can meet a pluripolar set. The manifold has to be of class C-1 only. This readily leads to a version of Shcherbina's theorem…

Let X be a compact (resp. compact and nonsingular) real algebraic variety and let Y be a homogeneous space for some linear real algebraic group. We prove that a continuous (resp. C^infinity) map f:X-->Y can be approximated by regular maps…

Let $M^n\ (n\geq3)$ be a complete Riemannian manifold with $\sec_M\geq 1$, and let $M_i^{n_i}$ ($i=1,2$) be two comlplete totally geodesic submanifolds in $M$. We prove that if $n_1+n_2=n-2$ and if the distance $|M_1M_2|\geq\frac{\pi}{2}$,…

We show that for any $n$-dimensional lattice $\mathcal{L} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, the torus $\mathbb{R}^n/\mathcal{L}$ can be embedded into Hilbert space with $O(\sqrt{n\log n})$ distortion. This improves the previously best known upper…

Given a sequence of properly embedded minimal surfaces in a $3$-manifold with local bounds on area and genus, we prove subsequential convergence, smooth away from a discrete set, to a smooth embedded limit surface, possibly with…

We prove that if $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^N$ is a set with finite perimeter with $\mathscr{H}^{N-1}(\partial \Omega\setminus\partial^* \Omega)=0$, then any set of finite perimeter $E\subseteq\mathbb{R}^N$ can be approximated by a…

We consider the order of convergence for linear and nonlinear Monte Carlo approximation of compact embeddings from Sobolev spaces of dominating mixed smoothness defined on the torus $\mathbb{T}^d$ into the space $L_{\infty}(\mathbb{T}^d)$…

We prove some results on when functions on compact sets $K \subset \mathbb C$ can be approximated by polynomials avoiding values in given sets. We also prove some higher dimensional analogues. In particular we prove that a continuous…
