Let $v$ be an odd real polynomial (i.e. a polynomial of the form $\sum_{j=1}^\ell a_jx^{2j-1}$). We utilize sets of iterated differences to establish new results about sets of the form $\mathcal…

In this paper we prove that given two sets $E_1,E_2 \subset \mathbb{Z}$ of positive density, there exists $k \geq 1$ which is bounded by a number depending only on the densities of $E_1$ and $E_2$ such that $k\mathbb{Z} \subset…

We show that there are sets of $n$ points in the plane with $n$ arbitrarily large that contain more than $n^{1.014}$ pairs of points separated by a distance exactly $1$. This improves on very recent work of a team at OpenAI, who proved the…

We characterize the orderings of pairs of sets induced by several distances: Hamming, Jaccard, S\o rensen-Dice and Overlap. We also characterize these distances.

We describe general connections between intersective properties of sets in Abelian groups and positive exponential sums. In particular, given a set $A$ the maximal size of a set whose difference set avoids $A$ will be related to positive…

We consider the minimal distance between orbits of measure preserving dynamical systems. In the spirit of dynamical shrinking target problems we identify distance rates for which almost sure asymptotic closeness properties can be ensured.…

The parabolic Airy line ensemble $\mathfrak A$ is a central limit object in the KPZ universality class and related areas. On any compact set $K = \{1, \dots, k\} \times [a, a + t]$, the law of the recentered ensemble $\mathfrak A -…

Let $S$ be a family of sequences of positive numbers that decrease to 0, let $X$ be a metric space and $A \subset X$. $A$ is said to be $S$-dominated if, for every $s\in S$, a countable cover $\{E_n\}$ of $E$ can be found such that $diam…

Let $D$ be the ring of $S$-integers in a global field and $\hat{D}$ its profinite completion. We discuss the relation between density in $D$ and the Haar measure of $\hat{D}$: in particular, we ask when the density of a subset $X$ of $D$ is…

Let $X$ be any subset of the interval $[-1,1]$. A subset $I$ of the unit sphere in $R^n$ will be called \emph{$X$-avoiding} if $<u,v >\notin X$ for any $u,v \in I$. The problem of determining the maximum surface measure of a $\{ 0…

Furstenberg, Katznelson and Weiss proved in the early 1980s that every measurable subset of the plane with positive density at infinity has the property that all sufficiently large real numbers are realised as the Euclidean distance between…

We generalize Berg's notion of quasi-disjointness to actions of countable groups and prove that every measurably distal system is quasi-disjoint from every measure preserving system. As a corollary we obtain easy to check necessary and…

In this article, we study the smallest distances between the zeros of Gaussian analytic functions over compact Riemann surfaces. Our main result is that, after appropriate rescaling, the point process of the smallest distances converge to a…

In this note, we study the set $\mathcal{D}$ of values of the quadruplet $(\underline{\mathrm{d}}(A),\overline{\mathrm{d}}(A),\underline{\mathrm{d}}(2A),\overline{\mathrm{d}}(2A))$ where $A\subset\mathbb{N}$ and…

The set of distances of a monoid or of a domain is the set of all $d \in \mathbb N$ with the following property: there are irreducible elements $u_1, \ldots, u_k, v_1, \ldots, v_{k+d}$ such that $u_1 \cdot \ldots \cdot u_k = v_1 \cdot…

The general expression of the angular distance between two point sources as measured by an arbitrary observer is given. The modelling presented here is rigorous, covariant and valid in any space-time. The sources of light may be located at…

We introduce the cone of completely-positive functions, a subset of the cone of positive-type functions, and use it to fully characterize maximum-density distance-avoiding sets as the optimal solutions of a convex optimization problem. As a…

We make quantitative improvements to recently obtained results on the structure of the image of a large difference set under certain quadratic forms and other homogeneous polynomials. Previous proofs used deep results of Benoist-Quint on…

It is widely believed that point sets in the plane which determine few distinct distances must have some special structure. In particular, such sets are believed to be similar to a lattice. This note considers two different ways to quantify…

The Shapley-Folkman theorem shows that Minkowski averages of uniformly bounded sets tend to be convex when the number of terms in the sum becomes much larger than the ambient dimension. In optimization, Aubin and Ekeland [1976] show that…
