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…

We give an upper bound for the number of points of a hypersurface over a finite field that has no lines on, in terms of the dimension, the degree, and the number of the elements of the finite field.

We prove a limit theorem for the the maximal interpoint distance (also called the diameter) for a sample of n i.i.d. points in the unit ball of dimension 2 or more. The exact form of the limit distribution and the required normalisation are…

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 $n$…

The Upper Bound Theorem for convex polytopes implies that the $p$-th Betti number of the \v{C}ech complex of any set of $N$ points in $\mathbb R^d$ and any radius satisfies $\beta_{p} = O(N^{m})$, with $m = \min \{ p+1, \lceil d/2 \rceil…

In this paper, we prove a new point-sphere incidence bound in vector spaces over finite fields. More precisely, let $P$ be a set of points and $S$ be a set of spheres in $\mathbb{F}_q^d$. Suppose that $|P|, |S|\le N$, we prove that the…

We prove rigidity for hypersurfaces with boundary in the unit $(n+1)$-sphere with scalar curvature bounded below by $n(n-1)$. Under appropriate boundary conditions, the hypersurfaces are shown to be part of the equatorial spheres. The lower…

We establish sharp universal upper bounds on the length of the shortest closed geodesic on a punctured sphere with three or four ends endowed with a complete Riemannian metric of finite area. These sharp curvature-free upper bounds are…

Given an iterated function system of affine dilations with fixed points the vertices of a regular polygon, we characterize which points in the limit set lie on the boundary of its convex hull.

The number of steps required to exhaust a point set by iteratively removing the vertices of its convex hull is called the layer number of the point set. This article presents a short proof that the layer number of the grid…

Pach showed that every $d+1$ sets of points $Q_1,\dotsc,Q_{d+1} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ contain linearly-sized subsets $P_i\subset Q_i$ such that all the transversal simplices that they span intersect. We show, by means of an example, that a…

In this paper we study the problem of maximizing the distance to a given point $C_0$ over a polytope $\mathcal{P}$. Assuming that the polytope is circumscribed by a known ball we construct an intersection of balls which preserves the…

The convex hull peeling of a point set is obtained by taking the convex hull of the set and repeating iteratively the operation on the interior points until no point remains. The boundary of each hull is called a layer. We study the number…

We give theorems that can be used to upper bound the densities of packings of different spherical caps in the unit sphere and of translates of different convex bodies in Euclidean space. These theorems extend the linear programming bounds…

We study the slices or sections of a convex polytope by affine hyperplanes. We present results on two key problems: First, we provide tight bounds on the maximum number of vertices attainable by a hyperplane slice of $d$-polytope (a sort of…

In this paper we present two frameworks in which global maximization of a bounded hessian function over a strongly convex set can be reduced to convex optimization. The first presented framework is a continuation of one of our previous…

We will show that for any $n\ge N$ points on the $N$-dimensional sphere $S^N$ there is a closed hemisphere which contains at least $\lfloor\frac{n+N+1}{2}\rfloor$ of these points. This bound is sharp and we will calculate the amount of sets…

Geometrical objects with integral side lengths have fascinated mathematicians through the ages. We call a set $P=\{p_1,...,p_n\}\subset\mathbb{Z}^2$ a maximal integral point set over $\mathbb{Z}^2$ if all pairwise distances are integral and…

An ordinary hypersphere of a set of points in real $d$-space, where no $d+1$ points lie on a $(d-2)$-sphere or a $(d-2)$-flat, is a hypersphere (including the degenerate case of a hyperplane) that contains exactly $d+1$ points of the set.…

We give an upper-bound for the $X$-rank of points with respect to a non-degenerate irreducible variety $X$ in the case that sub-generic $X$-rank points generate a hypersurface. We give examples where this bound is sharp and it improves the…
