The Small Ball Inequality is a conjectural lower bound on sums the L-infinity norm of sums of Haar functions supported on dyadic rectangles of a fixed volume in the unit cube. The conjecture is fundamental to questions in discrepancy…

In the current paper we present a new proof of the small ball inequality in two dimensions. More importantly, this new argument, based on an approach inspired by lacunary Fourier series, reveals the first formal connection between this…

This is a comprehensive set of notes on the ArXiV paper math.CA/0609815 by Dmitry Bilyk and the author. The focus of that paper is a new inequality for sums of hyperbolic Haar functions in three variables, extending a famous result of J…

Let h_R denote an L ^{\infty} normalized Haar function adapted to a dyadic rectangle R contained in the unit cube in dimension d. We establish a non-trivial lower bound on the L^{\infty} norm of the `hyperbolic' sums $$ \sum _{|R|=2 ^{-n}}…

The aim of this work is to expose some asymptotic series associated to some expressions involving the volume of the n-dimensional unit ball. All proofs and the methods used for improving the classical inequalities announced in the final…

We derive an upper bound on the size of a ball such that the image of the ball under quadratic map is strongly convex and smooth. Our result is the best possible improvement of the analogous result by Polyak in the case of quadratic map. We…

Certain smoothing inequalities were proposed in the recent paper posted on arXiv at arxiv:1301.2828 in order to lessen the very large gap between the best correctly established upper and lower bounds on the constant factor in the nonuniform…

Large deviation estimates are by now a standard tool inthe Asymptotic Convex Geometry, contrary to small deviationresults. In this note we present a novel application of a smalldeviations inequality to a problem related to the diameters of…

The Simes inequality has received considerable attention recently because of its close connection to some important multiple hypothesis testing procedures. We revisit in this article an old result on this inequality to clarify and…

We study the size (or volume) of balls in the metric space of permutations, $S_n$, under the infinity metric. We focus on the regime of balls with radius $r = \rho \cdot (n\!-\!1)$, $\rho \in [0,1]$, i.e., a radius that is a constant…

New Hardy type inequalities in sectorial area and as a limit in an exterior of a ball are proved. Sharpness of the inequalities is shown as well.

We describe the set of parameters $(p_1,p_2,q_1,q_2)$ such that the balls $B_{q_1,q_2}^{s,b}$ are rigid in $\ell_{q_1,q_2}^{s,b}$ metric i.e. they are poorly approximated by linear subspaces of dimension $\le (1-\varepsilon)sb$, for large…

A direct approach to Ball's simplex inequality is presented. This approach, which does not use the Brascamp-Lieb inequality, also gives Barthe's characterization of the simplex for Ball's inequality and extends it from discrete to arbitrary…

The small-ball method was introduced as a way of obtaining a high probability, isomorphic lower bound on the quadratic empirical process, under weak assumptions on the indexing class. The key assumption was that class members satisfy a…

In the paper the old results on probabilities of small balls for stable measures in a Hilbert space, obtained in 1977 and remaining unpublished, are presented. Apart of historical value these results are interesting even now, since they are…

We make two tiny corrections to our previous paper with the same title, and also obtain, as a bonus, something new.

In this paper, we present an improvement of a large sieve type inequality in high dimensions and discuss its implications on a related problem.

This short note provides a sharper upper bound of a well known inequality for the sum of divisors function. This is a problem in pure mathematics related to the distribution of prime numbers. Furthermore, the technique is completely…

The main objective of this paper is to prove a new inequality for plurisubharmonic functions estimating their supremum over a ball by their supremum over a measurable subset of the ball. We apply this result to study local properties of…

The purpose of this paper is to provide a random version of Simons' inequality.
