We examine the incipient infinite cluster (IIC) of critical percolation in regimes where mean-field behavior has been established, namely when the dimension d is large enough or when d>6 and the lattice is sufficiently spread out. We find…

We investigate the intersections of balls of radius $r$, called $r$-ball bodies, in Euclidean $d$-space. An $r$-lense (resp., $r$-spindle) is the intersection of two balls of radius $r$ (resp., balls of radius $r$ containing a given pair of…

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 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…

We analyze the asymptotic behavior of the average maximal number of balls in a bin obtained by throwing uniformly at random $r$ balls without replacement into $n$ bins, $T$ times. Writing the expected maximum as $\frac{r}{n}T+…

Start with a large convex polygon and add all other edges inside independently with probability $p$. At what critical threshold $p_c$ do triangulations of the polygon begin to appear? The first author and Gravner asked this question, and…

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…

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…

Gr\"unbaum's inequality guarantees that the centroid of a convex body has halfspace depth at least $1/e$: every halfspace containing the centroid captures at least a $1/e$ fraction of the body's volume. For mixed-integer convex sets…

Let M_n denote the number of sites in the largest cluster in critical site percolation on the triangular lattice inside a box side length n. We give lower and upper bounds on the probability that M_n / E(M_n) > x of the form exp(- C…

We consider the volume of a Boolean expression of some congruent balls about a given system of centers in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. When the radius $r$ of the balls is large, this volume can be approximated by a polynomial of…

Ball's celebrated cube slicing (1986) asserts that among hyperplane sections of the cube in $\mathbb{R}^n$, the central section orthogonal to $(1,1,0,\dots,0)$ has the greatest volume. We show that the same continues to hold for slicing…

Let $R$ be a polynomial ring over a field and $I$ an ideal generated by three forms of degree three. Motivated by Stillman's question, Engheta proved that the projective dimension $\mathrm{pd}(R/I)$ of $R/I$ is at most 36, although the…

Motivated by modern applications like image processing and wireless sensor networks, we consider a variation of the famous Kepler Conjecture. Given any infinite set of unit balls covering the whole space, we want to know the optimal (lim…

Given a graph $G$, the unraveled ball of radius $r$ centered at a vertex $v$ is the ball of radius $r$ centered at $v$ in the universal cover of $G$. We prove a lower bound on the maximum spectral radius of unraveled balls of fixed radius,…

In this paper we prove the Kneser-Poulsen conjecture for the case of large radii. Namely, if a finite number of points in Euclidean space $E^n$ is rearranged so that the distance between each pair of points does not decrease, then there…

The aim of this paper is to give an upper bound for the intrinsic diameter of a surface with boundary immersed in a conformally flat three dimensional Riemannian manifold in terms of the integral of the mean curvature and of the length of…

Consider a closed manifold $M$ with two Riemannian metrics: one hyperbolic metric, and one other metric $g$. What hypotheses on $g$ guarantee that for a given radius $r$, there are balls of radius $r$ in the universal cover of $(M, g)$ with…

We establish a general formula for the maximum size of finite length block codes with minimum pairwise distance no less than $d$. The achievability argument involves an iterative construction of a set of radius-$d$ balls, each centered at a…

We obtain sharp lower bounds on the radii of inscribed balls for strictly convex isoperimetric domains lying in a 2-dimensional Alexandrov metric space of curvature bounded below. We also characterize the case when such bounds are attained.
