On the Banach--Mazur radius of
Omer Friedland, Assaf Naor, Pierre Youssef
We prove that any -dimensional normed space is at Banach--Mazur distance from .
Euclidean embedding, randomized clustering, and Lipschitz extension for finite and doubling subsets of when
Assaf Naor, Kevin Ren
Fix . We prove that the Euclidean distortion of every -point subset of is , thus, in particular, demonstrating that all -point subsets…
An optimal algorithm for average distance in typical regular graphs
Alexandros Eskenazis, Manor Mendel, Assaf Naor
We design a deterministic algorithm that, given points in a \emph{typical} constant degree regular~graph, queries distances to output a constant factor approximation to…
Approximate isoperimetry for convex polytopes
Keith Ball, Károly J. Böröczky, Assaf Naor
For all with , the smallest possible isoperimetric quotient of an -dimensional convex polytope that has facets is shown to be bounded…
The separation modulus of unitarily invariant matrix norms
Mustafa Alper Gunes, Assaf Naor
If is a unitarily invariant normed space on , then we prove (via exact computations for a Jacobi orthogonal random matrix ensemble) that the spectra…
Random zero sets with local growth guarantees
Alan Chang, Assaf Naor, Kevin Ren
We prove that if is an -point metric space that embeds quasisymmetrically into a Hilbert space, then for every there is a random subset of…
