It is known that if a subset of $\mathbb{R}$ has positive Lebesgue measure, then it contains arbitrarily long finite arithmetic progressions. We prove that this result does not extend to infinite arithmetic progressions in the following…
We study the set of visible lattice points in multidimensional hypercubes. The problems we investigate mix together geometric, probabilistic and number theoretic tones. For example, we prove that almost all self-visible triangles with…
In this paper, we consider spin systems in three spatial dimensions, and prove that the local Hamiltonian problem for 3D lattices with face-centered cubic unit cells, 4-local translationally-invariant interactions between spin-3/2 particles…
We introduce a new general framework for constructing tilings of Euclidean space, which we call multiscale substitution tilings. These tilings are generated by substitution schemes on a finite set of prototiles, in which multiple distinct…
We extend the notion of a dyadic grid of cubes in Euclidean space to include infinite dyadic cubes. These `tops' of a dyadic grid form a tiling of Euclidean space which is subject to the constraints similar to those arising in tiling…
One of the most fundamental questions of modern physics is the nature of spacetime. There are various propositions on the table, as the grand unified theory, quantum gravity, supersymmetry, string and superstring theories, and M theory.…
We introduce and study finite $d$-volumes - the high dimensional generalization of finite metric spaces. Having developed a suitable combinatorial machinery, we define $\ell_1$-volumes and show that they contain Euclidean volumes and…
We investigate an integrable property and observables of 2 dimensional N=(4,4) topological field theory defined on a discrete lattice by using the "orbifolding" and "deconstruction" methods. We show that our lattice model possesses the…
When $\mathbb{Z}^d$ is represented as a finite disjoint union of translated integer sublattices, the translated sublattices must possess some special properties. Such a representation is called a \emph{lattice tiling}. We develop a…
We explore the mathematical consequences of the assumption of a discrete space-time. The fundamental laws of physics have to be translated into the language of discrete mathematics. We find integral transformations that leave the lattice of…
Estimation algebras have been extensively studied in Euclidean space, where finite-dimensional estimation algebras form the foundation of the Kalman and Benes filters, and have contributed to the discovery of many other finite-dimensional…
This paper is concerned with a covering problem of Euclidean space by a particular arrangement of cones that are not necessarily full and are allowed to overlap. The problem provides an equivalent geometric reformulation of the solvability…
We show that given any tiling of Euclidean space, any geometric patterns of points, we can find a patch of tiles (of arbitrarily large size) so that copies of this patch appear in the tiling nearly centered on a scaled and translated…
Although the nonlinear Schrodinger equation description of Einstein spaces has provided insights into how quantum mechanics might modify the classical general relativistic description of space-time, an exact quantum description of…
We ask whether a stationary lattice in dimension $d$ whose points are shifted by identically distributed but possibly dependent perturbations remains hyperuniform. When $d = 1$ or $2$, we show that it is the case when the perturbations have…
In this article we introduce theory and algorithms for learning discrete representations that take on a lattice that is embedded in an Euclidean space. Lattice representations possess an interesting combination of properties: a) they can be…
We give a proof of the $A_2$ conjecture in geometrically doubling metric spaces (GDMS), i.e. a metric space where one can fit not more than a fixed amount of disjoint balls of radius $r$ in a ball of radius $2r$. Our proof consists of three…
We study rigorously the infinite Reynolds limit of the solutions of the Landau-Lifschitz equations of fluctuating hydrodynamics for an incompressible fluid on a $d$-dimensional torus for $d\geq 2.$ These equations, which model the effects…
Let $\Lambda$ be a lattice in $\R^n$, and let $Z\subseteq \R^{m+n}$ be a definable family in an o-minimal structure over $\R$. We give sharp estimates for the number of lattice points in the fibers $Z_T={x\in \R^n: (T,x)\in Z}$. Along the…
A conjecture of Breuil, Buzzard, and Emerton says that the slopes of certain reducible $p$-adic Galois representations must be integers. In previous work we showed this conjecture for representations that lie over certain non-subtle…
