We introduce and study certain notions which might serve as substitutes for maximum density packings and minimum density coverings. A body is a compact connected set which is the closure of its interior. A packing $\cal P$ with congruent…

It is shown that for every $K>0$ and $\e\in (0,1/2)$ there exist $N=N(K)\in \N$ and $D=D(K,\e)\in (1,\infty)$ with the following properties. For every separable metric space $(X,d)$ with doubling constant at most $K$, the metric space…

We give a numerical characterization of mutual orthogonality (that is, complementarity) for subalgebras. In order to give such a characterization for mutually orthogonal subalgebras $A$ and $B$ of the $k \times k$ matrix algebra…

We derive a precise general relation between the entropy of a compact operator and its eigenvalues. It is then shown how this result along with the underlying philosophy can be applied to improve substantially on the best known…

The aim of this paper is to study the basic properties of the Thompson metric $d_T$ in the general case of a real linear space $X$ ordered by a cone $K$. We show that $d_T$ has monotonicity properties which make it compatible with the…

We give an alternative proof of a recent result of Klartag on the existence of almost subgaussian linear functionals on convex bodies. If $K$ is a convex body in ${\mathbb R}^n$ with volume one and center of mass at the origin, there exists…

We consider the following measure of symmetry of a convex n-dimensional body K: $\rho(K)$ is the smallest constant for which there is a point x in K such that for partitions of K by an n-1-dimensional hyperplane passing through x the ratio…

Let $Q$ be a relatively compact subset in a Hilbert space $V$. For a given $\e>0$ let $N(\e,Q)$ be the minimal number of linear measurements, sufficient to reconstruct any $x \in Q$ with the accuracy $\e$. We call $N(\e,Q)$ a sampling…

Asymmetric dual truncated Toeplitz operators acting between the orthogonal complements of two (eventually different) model spaces are introduced and studied. They are shown to be equivalent after extension to paired operators on…

It is conjectured since long that for any convex body $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ there exists a point in the interior of $K$ which belongs to at least $2n$ normals from different points on the boundary of $K$. The conjecture is known to be…

A Drazin invertible Hilbert space operator $T\in \B$, with Drazin inverse $T_d$, is $(n,m)$-power D-normal, $T\in [(n,m) DN]$, if $[T_d^n,T^{*m}]=T^n_dT^{*m}-T^{*m}T_d^n=0$; $T$ is $(n,m)$-power D-quasinormal, $T\in [(n,m) DQN]$, if…

In this paper, we explore a consequence of symplectic duality (also known as 3d mirror symmetry) in the setting of enumerative geometry. The theory of quasimaps allows one to associate hypergeometric functions called vertex functions to…

For a symmetric convex body $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ and $1\le p<\infty$, we define the space $S^p(K)$ to be the tent generalization of $\text{JN}_p(\mathbb{R}^n)$, i.e., the space of all continuous functions $f$ on the upper-half space…

We study multiple tilings of 3-dimensional Euclidean space by a convex body. In a multiple tiling, a convex body $P$ is translated with a discrete multiset $\Lambda$ in such a way that each point of the space gets covered exactly $k$ times,…

We introduce the mixed convolution bodies of two convex symmetric bodies. We prove that if the boundary of a body $K$ is smooth enough then as $\delta$ tends to $1$ the $\delta$--$M^*$--convolution body of $K$ with itself tends to a…

Let K \subset R^N be a convex body containing the origin. A measurable set G \subset R^N with positive Lebesgue measure is said to be uniformly K-dense if, for any fixed r > 0, the measure of G \cap (x + rK) is constant when x varies on the…

Determining the minimum density of a covering of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ by Euclidean unit balls as $n\to\infty$ is a major open problem, with the best known results being the lower bound of $\left(\mathrm{e}^{-3/2}+o(1)\right)n$ by Coxeter, Few…

In a seminal paper, Kannan and Lov\'asz (1988) considered a quantity $\mu_{KL}(\Lambda,K)$ which denotes the best volume-based lower bound on the covering radius $\mu(\Lambda,K)$ of a convex body $K$ with respect to a lattice $\Lambda$.…

A complete characterization of the similarity between two operator-valued multishifts with invertible operator weights is obtained purely in terms of operator weights. This generalizes several existing results of the unitary equivalence of…

We give a sufficient condition for a Borel subset $E\subset X$ of a complete metric space with $\mathcal{H}^n(E)<\infty$ to be $n$-rectifiable. This condition involves a decomposition of $E$ into rectifiable curves known as an Alberti…
