Let $A$ be a countable and discrete subset of ${\Bbb R}^d$, $d \ge 2$, of positive upper Beurling density. Let $K$ denote a bounded symmetric convex set with a smooth boundary and everywhere non-vanishing Gaussian curvature. It is known…
We establish the spectral gap property for dense subgroups of $SU(d)$ ($d\geq 2$), generated by finitely many elements with algebraic entries; this result was announced in [BG3]. The method of proof differs, in several crucial aspects, from…
A simplified version of the theory of strongly regular graphs is developed for the case in which the graphs have no triangles. This leads to (i) direct proofs of the Krein conditions, and (ii) the characterization of strongly regular graphs…
The concept of tensor eigenpairs has received more researches in past decades. Recent works have paid attentions to a special class of symmetric tensors termed regular simplex tensors, which is constructed by equiangular tight frame of n +…
In this paper we show that for every $2\leq n\in \mathbb{N}$, the statement "there is an $n$-entangled set, but there are no $n+1$-entangled sets" is consistent. We also prove some theorems which improve our understanding of entangled sets…
This is an updated version of a paper which appeared in the proceedings of the 1979 Berlin Colloquium on Global Differential Geometry. This paper contains the original exposition together with some notes by the authors made in 2025 (as…
Building on Whitney's classical method of triangulating smooth manifolds, we show that every compact $d$-dimensional smooth manifold admits a triangulation with dual graph of twin-width at most $d^{O(d)}$. In particular, it follows that…
We proved that for any matrix dilation and for any positive integer $n$, there exists a compactly supported tight wavelet frame with approximation order $n$. Explicit methods for construction of dual and tight wavelet frames with a given…
A Grassmannian frame is a collection of unit vectors which are optimally incoherent. To date, the vast majority of explicit Grassmannian frames are equiangular tight frames (ETFs). This paper surveys every known construction of ETFs and…
We prove an Alexander type theorem for the spectral unit ball $\Omega_n$ showing that there are no non-trivial proper holomorphic mappings in $\Omega_n$, $n\geq 2$.
We adapt the construction of subsets of {1, 2, ..., N} that contain no k-term arithmetic progressions to give a relatively thick subset of an arbitrary set of N integers. Particular examples include a thick subset of {1, 4, 9, ..., N^2}…
An equiangular tight frame (ETF) is a type of optimal packing of lines in Euclidean space. A regular simplex is a special type of ETF in which the number of vectors is one more than the dimension of the space they span. In this paper, we…
We study sparsity and spectral properties of dual frames of a given finite frame. We show that any finite frame has a dual with no more than $n^2$ non-vanishing entries, where $n$ denotes the ambient dimension, and that for most frames no…
A map $f: K \to \mathbb{R}^d$ of a simplicial complex is an almost embedding if $f(\sigma) \cap f(\tau) = \varnothing$ whenever $\sigma, \tau$ are disjoint simplices of $K$. Fix integers $d,k \geqslant 2$ such that $k+2 \leqslant d…
We study the properties of a set of vectors called tight frames that obtained as the orthogonal projection of some orthonormal basis of $\R^n$ onto $\R^k.$ We show that a set of vectors is a tight frame if and only if the set of all cross…
The van Kampen-Flores theorem states that the $d$-skeleton of a $(2d+2)$-simplex does not embed into $\mathbb{R}^{2d}$. We prove the van Kampen-Flores theorem for triangulations of manifolds satisfying a certain condition on their…
We give a simple proof of the fact that - in all dimensions - there are no homogeneous solutions to the thin obstacle problem with frequency $\lambda$ belonging to intervals of the form $(2k,2k+1)$, $k \in \mathbb{N}$. In particular, there…
We show that there is no subexponential time algorithm for computing the exact solution of the maximum independent set problem in d-regular graphs unless ETH fails. We expand our method to show that it helps to provide lower bounds for…
We prove the existence of tight frames whose elements lie on an arbitrary ellipsoidal surface within a real or complex separable Hilbert space H, and we analyze the set of attainable frame bounds. In the case where H is real and has finite…
We prove that strictly stationary spacetimes cannot contain closed trapped nor marginally trapped surfaces. The result is purely geometric and holds in arbitrary dimension. Other results concerning the interplay between (generalized)…
