In this paper, we propose the Fourier Discrepancy Function, a new discrepancy to compare discrete probability measures. We show that this discrepancy takes into account the geometry of the underlying space. We prove that the Fourier…

We prove that if $P$ is a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{C}^2$, then either the points in $P$ determine $\Omega(n^{1-\epsilon})$ complex distances, or $P$ is contained in a line with slope $\pm i$. If the latter occurs then each pair of…

For any $p\in[1,\infty)$, we prove that the set of simple functions taking at most $k$ different values is proximinal in B\"ochner spaces $L^p(X)$ whenever $X$ is a dual Banach space with $w^*$-sequentially compact unit ball. With…

We show that for any set of reals X there is a subset Y such X and Y have same Lebesgue outer measure and the distance between any two distinct points in Y is irrational.

Given a metric space with a Borel probability measure, for each integer $N$ we obtain a probability distribution on $N\times N$ distance matrices by considering the distances between pairs of points in a sample consisting of $N$ points…

We provide a new proof of Ader's characterisation of the ellipse of minimal Banach-Mazur distance to the unit circle of a normed plane in terms of contact and extremal points. Our method reveals the relation of this problem to the Chebyshev…

In the present paper, we study a set that can be treated as a generalised set of subsums for a geometric series. This object was discovered independently in various mathematical aspects. For instance, it is closely related to various…

We obtain new lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of distance sets and pinned distance sets of planar Borel sets of dimension slightly larger than $1$, improving recent estimates of Keleti and Shmerkin, and of Liu in this regime. In…

We prove that every element of the polar cone to the closed convex cone of monotone transport maps can be represented as the divergence of a measure field taking values in the positive definite matrices.

It is shown, under the assumption of Jensen's principle $\lozenge$, that if for a complex L with $[L] \geq [S^{4}]$ there exists a metrizable compactum whose extension dimension is L, then there exists a differentiable, countably compact,…

We prove a refined version of the celebrated Lusin type theorem for gradients by Alberti, stating that any Borel vector field $f$ coincides with the gradient of a $C^1$ function $g$, outside a set $E$ of arbitrarily small Lebesgue measure.…

We show the existence of Lebesgue-equivalent conservative and ergodic $\sigma$-finite invariant measures for a wide class of one-dimensional random maps consisting of piecewise convex maps. We also estimate the size of invariant measures…

We consider a system of weak* closed sets of finite-dimensional distributions. We show that a corresponding system of random variables can be defined on a probability space with a probability measure determined up to some set of measures,…

Given an increasing integer sequence $(a_n)$, a real number $\alpha$, and a sequence $\psi(n)$, we study the set $W$ of real numbers $\gamma$ for which $a_n\alpha - \gamma$ is a distance less than $\psi(n)$ away from an integer. This is…

Based on the Gale-Ryser theorem for the existence of suitable $(0,1)$-matrices for different partitions of a natural number, we revisit the classical result of G. G. Lorentz regarding the characterization of a plane measurable set, in terms…

We show from a categorical point of view that probability measures on certain measurable or topological spaces arise canonically as the extension of probability distributions on countable sets. We do this by constructing probability monads…

We prove that there exist arbitrarily small positive real numbers $\epsilon$ such that every integral power $(1 + \vepsilon)^n$ is at a distance greater than $2^{-17} \epsilon |\log \vepsilon|^{-1}$ to the set of rational integers. This is…

In this paper, we give improved bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of pinned distance sets of planar sets with dimension strictly less than one. As the planar set becomes more regular (i.e., the Hausdorff and packing dimension become…

The Littlewood Conjecture in Diophantine approximation can be thought of as a problem about covering the plane by a union of hyperbolas centered at rational points. In this paper we consider the problem of translating the center of each…

This paper addresses the fundamental question of when convex sets remain disjoint after random projection. We provide an analysis using ideas from high-dimensional convex geometry. For ellipsoids, we provide a bound in terms of the distance…
