Given positive integers $\ell<n$ and a real $d\in (\ell,n)$, we construct sets $K\subset \mathbb R^n$ with positive and finite Hausdorff $d-$measure such that the Radon-Nikodym derivative associated to all projections on $\ell-$dimensional…

Besicovitch showed that a compact set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ which contains a unit line segment in every direction can have measure $0$. These constructions also work over other metric spaces like the $p$-adics and profinite integers. It is…

Let us say that an element of a given family $\A$ of subsets of $\R^d$ can be reconstructed using $n$ test sets if there exist $T_1,...,T_n \subset \R^d$ such that whenever $A,B\in \A$ and the Lebesgue measures of $A \cap T_i$ and $B \cap…

For any elements b,c of a number field K, let G(b,c) denote the backwards orbit of b under the map f_c: C-->C given by f_c(x)=x^2+c. We prove an upper bound on the number of elements of G(b,c) whose degree over K is at most some constant B.…

We prove that for every integer $k$, every finite set of points in the plane can be $k$-colored so that every half-plane that contains at least $2k-1$ points, also contains at least one point from every color class. We also show that the…

Constructing small-sized coresets for various clustering problems in different metric spaces has attracted significant attention for the past decade. A central problem in the coreset literature is to understand what is the best possible…

We study the boundedness problem for maximal operators $\mathbb{M}$ associated to averages along families of finite type curves in the plane, defined by $$\mathbb{M}f(x) \, := \, \sup_{1 \leq t \leq 2} \left|\int_{\mathbb{C}} f(x-ty) \,…

We introduce the mixed Bourgain-Morrey spaces and obtain their preduals. The boundedness of Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator, iterated maximal operator, fractional integral operator, singular integral operator on these spaces is proved. In…

We study the heat semigroup maximal operator associated with a well-known orthonormal system in the d-dimensional ball. The corresponding heat kernel is shown to satisfy Gaussian bounds. As a consequence, we can prove weighted $L^p$…

We give a fully explicit description of Lie algebra derivatives (generalizing raising and lowering operators) for representations of SL(3,R) in terms of a basis of Wigner functions. This basis is natural from the point of view of principal…

A Besicovitch-Rado-Kinney (BRK) set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ contains a hypersphere of every radius. In $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, BRK-type sets of degree $\ell$ analogously contain a family of $(n-1)$-dimensional surfaces, parametrized by a dilation…

In a recent paper, C. Gambicchia and A. Pratelli proved a quantitative isoperimetric inequality involving the isoperimetric deficit $\delta(K)$ and the barycentric distance $\lambda_0(K)$ for sets $K\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ with given diameter…

According to Suk's breakthrough result on the Erdos-Szekeres problem, any point set in general position in the plane, which has no $n$ elements that form the vertex set of a convex $n$-gon, has at most $2^{n+O\left({n^{2/3}\log n}\right)}$…

The Kakeya problem in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is about estimating the size of union of $k$-planes; the projection problem in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is about estimating the size of projection of a set onto every $k$-plane ($1\le k\le n-1$). The $k=1$ case…

Bennett, Hart, Iosevich, Pakianathan, and Rudnev found an exponent $s<d$ such that any set $E\subset \mathbb{F}_q^d$ with $|E|\gtrsim q^s$ determines $\gtrsim q^{\binom{k+1}{2}}$ congruence classes of $(k+1)$-point configurations for $k\leq…

Let $(X,d,\mu)$ be a space of homogeneous type and $p(\cdot):X\to[1,\infty]$ be a variable exponent. We show that if the measure $\mu$ is Borel-semiregular and reverse doubling, then the condition ${\rm ess\,inf}_{x\in X}p(x)>1$ is…

We develop a new simple approach to prove upper bounds for generalizations of the Heilbronn's triangle problem in higher dimensions. Among other things, we show the following: for fixed $d \ge 1$, any subset of $[0, 1]^d$ of size $n$…

For fixed integers $b\geq k$, the problem of perfect $(b,k)$-hashing asks for the asymptotic growth of largest subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,b\}^n$ such that for any $k$ distinct elements in the set, there is a coordinate where they all differ.…

Chv\'{a}tal and Klincsek (1980) gave an $O(n^3)$-time algorithm for the problem of finding a maximum-cardinality convex subset of an arbitrary given set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane. This paper examines a generalization of the problem,…

I show that $L^{p}-L^{q}$ estimates for the Kakeya maximal function yield lower bounds for the conformal dimension of Kakeya sets, and upper bounds for how much quasisymmetries can increase the Hausdorff dimension of line segments inside…
