Let $E(x;\omega)$ be the error term for the number of integer lattice points lying inside a $3$-dimensional Cygan-Kor\'anyi spherical shell of inner radius $x$ and gap width $\omega(x)>0$. Assuming that $\omega(x)\to0$ as $x\to\infty$, and…

Consider supercritical long-range percolation on $\Z^d$ where two vertices $x,y \in \Z^d$ are connected with probability asymptotic to $\|x-y\|^{-s}$ for some $s>2d$. Conditioned that the origin is in the infinite cluster, we prove a shape…

Quadratic points of a surface in the projective 3-space are the points which can be exceptionally well approximated by a quadric. They are also singularities of a 3-web in the elliptic part and of a line field in the hyperbolic part of the…

Let $\# K$ be a number of integer lattice points contained in a set $K$. In this paper we prove that for each $d\in {\mathbb N}$ there exists a constant $C(d)$ depending on $d$ only, such that for any origin-symmetric convex body $K \subset…

The aim of this paper is to prove isoperimetric inequalities for simplices and polytopes with $d+2$ vertices in Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic $d$-space. In particular, we find the minimal volume $d$-dimensional hyperbolic simplices…

We give a deterministic 2^{O(n)} algorithm for computing an M-ellipsoid of a convex body, matching a known lower bound. This has several interesting consequences including improved deterministic algorithms for volume estimation of convex…

Nuclei exhibit both single-particle and collective degrees of freedom, with the latter often subdivided into vibrational and rotational motions. Experimentally identifying the relative roles of these collective modes is extremely…

Let (M, g) be a complete Riemannian manifold. Assume that the Ricci curvature of M has quadratic decay and that the volume growth is strictly faster than quadratic. We establish that the Hardy spaces of exact 1-differential forms on M ,…

Let $X = G/\Gamma$, where $G$ is a Lie group and $\Gamma$ is a lattice in $G$, and let $U$ be a subset of $X$ whose complement is compact. We use the exponential mixing results for diagonalizable flows on $X$ to give upper estimates for the…

In critical percolation models, in a large cube there will typically be more than one cluster of comparable diameter. In 2D, the probability of $k>>1$ spanning clusters is of the order $e^{-\alpha k^{2}}$. In dimensions d>6, when $\eta = 0$…

Polytopes are the basic finite data structures for convex sets: they appear as feasible regions in linear optimization, as geometric summaries in algorithms, and as random objects in stochastic geometry. A natural geometric question is…
