Abstract

Let $X\subset \mathbb C^n$ be a closed pure $d$-dimensional complex analytic set. We associate to $X$ its set of projective asymptotic directions $$ \Sigma_\infty(X) :=\{\ell \in \mathbb P^{n-1}(\mathbb C):\ell\cap C_\infty(X)\ne\{0\}\}, $$ where $ C_\infty(X)$ is the total tangent cone at infinity. We prove the metric Chow-type characterization $$X\text{ is algebraic} \quad \Longleftrightarrow \quad \mathcal{H}^{2d} \bigl( \Sigma_\infty(X)\bigr)=0. $$ As an application, if $C_\infty(X)$ is definable in an o-minimal expansion of $(\mathbb R,+,\cdot)$ and $\dim_{\mathbb R} C_\infty(X)\le 2d$, then $X$ is algebraic.

Hausdorff dimension of $\tau$-approximable points on self-similar sets in $\mathbb R^d$

Let $d\geq 1$. Let $K\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ be a non-singleton self-similar set generated by a finite strongly irreducible iterated function system satisfying the open set condition, and let $\delta=\dim_{\mathrm H} K$. For $\tau>1/d$, set \[ W_d(\tau) = \left\{ \mathbf{x}\in\mathbb{R}^d: |q\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{p}|<q^{-\ta...

Bounded cohomology and optimal separating constant for representations

Let $\Sigma$ be a closed oriented surface of genus $>1$ and $M$ a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold with a marking $i:\Sigma\longrightarrow M$. We consider the case that $M$ has no parabolic cusps and at least one of the two ends is simply degenerate. For $\varGamma=\pi_1(\Sigma)$, let $\rho_M:\varGamma\longrightarrow \ma...

Dimension-Free Lipschitz Bounds for Brenier Maps to Compactly Supported Log-Concave Targets

We fix an integer $d\ge1$ and a symmetric positive-definite matrix $Q\in\mathbb{R}^{d\times d}$. Let $V:\mathbb{R}^d\to\mathbb{R}$ be finite, set \[ Z_\mu:=\int_{\mathbb{R}^d}e^{-V(x)}\,dx\in(0,\infty), \qquad d\mu(x):=Z_\mu^{-1}e^{-V(x)}\,dx, \] and assume that $\mu$ has finite second moment and that \[ x\longmapsto \...

Dimension-free estimates for the full discrete Euclidean ball maximal function

Let $M_t$ denote the normalized average over the lattice points in the Euclidean ball of radius $t$ in $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We prove that the full maximal operator $f\mapsto\sup_{t\geq0}\lvert M_t f\rvert$ is bounded on $\ell^p(\mathbb{Z}^d)$, for every $1<p\leq\infty$, with a constant independent of the dimension. In parti...

Sharp Convex Concentration for Symmetric Random Tensors with Subgaussian Coordinates

Let $X=(X_1,\ldots,X_n)$ have independent coordinates with mean zero, variance one, and $\|X_i\|_{\psi_2}\le K$, and let $H_d=(\mathbb R^n)^{\otimes_2 d}$. Let $L>0$ and let $f:H_d\to\mathbb R$ be convex and $L$-Lipschitz. We prove that, for $0\le t\le c_KLn^{d/2}$, \[ \textsf{P}\left\{ \left\lvert f(X^{\otimes d})-\te...
