We introduce a new family of algebraic varieties, $L_{d,n}$, which we call the unsquared measurement varieties. This family is parameterized by a number of points $n$ and a dimension $d$. These varieties arise naturally from problems in…

We present an alternative, short proof of a recent discrete version of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality due to Lehec and the second named author. Our proof also yields the four functions theorem of Ahlswede and Daykin as well as some new…

In this paper, we study discrete harmonic functions on infinite penny graphs. For an infinite penny graph with bounded facial degree, we prove that the volume doubling property and the Poincar\'e inequality hold, which yields the Harnack…

We prove that all Sierpi\'nski spaces in ${\mathbb{S}}^n$, $n\geq 2$, are non-removable for (quasi)conformal maps, generalizing the result of the first named author arXiv:1809.05605. More precisely, we show that for any Sierpi\'nski space…

Let ${\cal M}_{t,v,r}(n,m)$, $2\leq m<n$, be the collection of self-affine carpets with expanding matrix $\diag(n,m)$ which are totally disconnected, possessing vacant rows and with uniform horizontal fibers. In this paper, we introduce a…

A measure is 1-rectifiable if there is a countable union of finite length curves whose complement has zero measure. We characterize 1-rectifiable Radon measures $\mu$ in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space for all $n\geq 2$ in terms of…

Gusakova and Zaporozhets conjectured that ellipsoids in $\mathbb R^n$ are uniquely determined (up to an isometry) by their Steiner polynomials. Petrov and Tarasov confirmed this conjecture in $\mathbb R^3$. In this paper we solve the dual…

A rephrasing of Vogt's and Skof's version of the Ulam-Mazur theorem as a definability statement.

Consider a random set of points on the unit sphere in $\mathbb{R}^d$, which can be either uniformly sampled or a Poisson point process. Its convex hull is a random inscribed polytope, whose boundary approximates the sphere. We focus on the…

This paper's origins are in two papers: One by Colesanti and Fragal\`a studying the surface area measure of a log-concave function, and one by Cordero-Erausquin and Klartag regarding the moment measure of a convex function. These notions…

For a complete noncompact connected Riemannian manifold with bounded geometry $M^n$, we prove that the isoperimetric profile function $I_{M^n}$ is a locally $\left(1-\frac{1}{n}\right)$-H\"older continuous function and so in particular it…

It is shown that a construction of Z. Zhang and Y. Xiao on open subsets of Ptolemaic spaces yields, when the subset has boundary containing at least two points, metrics that are Gromov hyperbolic with parameter $\log 2$ and strongly…

Let $G$ be a group acting properly and by isometries on a metric space $X$; it follows that the quotient or orbit space $X/G$ is also a metric space. We study the Vietoris-Rips and \v{C}ech complexes of $X/G$. Whereas (co)homology theories…

We study Vietoris-Rips complexes of metric wedge sums and metric gluings. We show that the Vietoris-Rips complex of a wedge sum, equipped with a natural metric, is homotopy equivalent to the wedge sum of the Vietoris-Rips complexes. We also…

Given a sample of points $X$ in a metric space $M$ and a scale $r>0$, the Vietoris-Rips simplicial complex $\mathrm{VR}(X;r)$ is a standard construction to attempt to recover $M$ from $X$ up to homotopy type. A deficiency of this approach…

A new class of continuous valuations on the space of convex functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is introduced. On smooth convex functions, they are defined for $i=0,\dots,n$ by \begin{equation*} u\mapsto \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \zeta(u(x),x,\nabla…

If $C_n(\mathbb{R}^d)$ denotes the configuration space of $n$ distinct points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, we construct a sequence of maps $(f_m),$ $m \geq 1$, where \[f_m: C_n(\mathbb{R}^d) \times \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}^d\] is real analytic,…

We study the duality of moduli of k- and (n-k)-dimensional slices of euclidean n-cubes, and establish the optimal upper bound 1.

We generalize a result of Freedman and He, concerning the duality of moduli and capacities in solid tori, to sufficiently regular metric spaces. This is a continuation of the work of the author and K. Rajala on the corresponding duality in…

Recently, Connelly and Gortler gave a novel proof of the circle packing theorem for tangency packings by introducing a hybrid combinatorial-geometric operation, flip-and-flow, that allows two tangency packings whose contact graphs differ by…
