We consider multiple and set-indexed sums of random vectors taking values in Euclidean space of growing dimension. It is shown that, when viewed as finite metric spaces, the sets of values of such sums converge in probability. The limit is…

Minkowski's 2nd theorem in the Geometry of Numbers provides optimal upper and lower bounds for the volume of a $o$-symmetric convex body in terms of its successive minima. In this paper we study extensions of this theorem from two different…

Much work in the parimutuel betting literature has discussed estimating event outcome probabilities or developing optimal wagering strategies, particularly for horse race betting. Some betting pools, however, involve betting not just on a…

For two families of random polytopes we compute explicitly the expected sums of the conic intrinsic volumes and the Grassmann angles at all faces of any given dimension of the polytope under consideration. As special cases, we compute the…

In this paper, we obtain the maximal estimate for the Weyl sums on the torus $\mathbb{T}^d$ with $d\geq 2$, which is sharp up to the endpoint. We also consider two variants of this problem which include the maximal estimate along the…

Random embeddings project high-dimensional spaces to low-dimensional ones; they are careful constructions which allow the approximate preservation of key properties, such as the pair-wise distances between points. Often in the field of…

The problem of estimating, from a random sample of points, the dimension of a compact subset $S$ of the Euclidean space is considered. The emphasis is put on consistency results in the statistical sense. That is, statements of convergence…

We present a simple construction of an acute set of size $2^{d-1}+1$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for any dimension $d$. That is, we explicitly give $2^{d-1}+1$ points in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space with the property that any three points form…

Stationary and isotropic iteration stable random tessellations are considered, which can be constructed by a random process of cell division. The collection of maximal polytopes at a fixed time $t$ within a convex window $W\subset{\Bbb…

The noise stability of a Euclidean set $A$ with correlation $\rho$ is the probability that $(X,Y)\in A\times A$, where $X,Y$ are standard Gaussian random vectors with correlation $\rho\in(0,1)$. It is well-known that a Euclidean set of…

For a fixed $k\in\{1,\dots,d\}$ consider random vectors $X_0,\dots, X_{k}\in\mathbb R^d$ with an arbitrary spherically symmetric joint density function. Let $A$ be any non-singular $d\times d$ matrix. We show that the $k$-dimensional volume…

Let ${\bf K} = (K_1, ..., K_n)$ be an $n$-tuple of convex compact subsets in the Euclidean space $\R^n$, and let $V(\cdot)$ be the Euclidean volume in $\R^n$. The Minkowski polynomial $V_{{\bf K}}$ is defined as $V_{{\bf K}}(\lambda_1, ...…

We construct rather general random ensembles that yield the optimal (isomorphic) estimate in the Dvoretzky-Milman Theorem. This is the first construction of non gaussian/spherical ensembles that exhibit the optimal behaviour. The ensembles…

We present a natural reverse Minkowski-type inequality for lattices, which gives upper bounds on the number of lattice points in a Euclidean ball in terms of sublattice determinants, and conjecture its optimal form. The conjecture exhibits…

We propose a natural process for allocating n balls into n bins that are organized as the vertices of an undirected graph G. Each ball first chooses a vertex u in G uniformly at random. Then the ball performs a local search in G starting…

General results on convex bodies are reviewed and used to derive an exact closed-form parametric formula for the Minkowski sum boundary of $m$ arbitrary ellipsoids in $N$-dimensional Euclidean space. Expressions for the principal curvatures…

We study the smallest intersecting and enclosing ball problems in Euclidean spaces for input objects that are compact and convex. They link and unify many problems in computational geometry and machine learning. We show that both problems…

Let $A,B$ be nonempty subsets of a an abelian group $G$. Let $N_i(A,B)$ denote the set of elements of $G$ having $i$ distinct decompositions as a product of an element of $A$ and an element of $B$. We prove that $$ \sum _{1\le i \le t} |N_i…

We study couplings $q^\bullet$ of two equivariant random measures $\lambda^\bullet$ and $\mu^\bullet$ on a Riemannian manifold $(M,d,m)$. Given a cost function we ask for minimizers of the mean transportation cost per volume. In case the…

We show that if $\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_k$ are algebraic numbers, then $$|A+\lambda_1\cdot A+\dots+\lambda_k\cdot A|\geq H(\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_k)|A|-o(|A|)$$ for all finite subsets $A$ of $\mathbb{C}$, where…
