Systolic almost-rigidity modulo 2

Hannah Alpert, Alexey Balitskiy, Larry Guth

No power law systolic freedom is possible for the product of mod systoles of dimension and codimension . This means that any closed -dimensional Riemannian manifold $…

Macroscopic scalar curvature and codimension 2 width

Hannah Alpert, Alexey Balitskiy, Larry Guth

We show that a complete -dimensional Riemannian manifold with finitely generated first homology has macroscopic dimension if it satisfies the following "macroscopic curv…

Systolic inequalities for the number of vertices

Sergey Avvakumov, Alexey Balitskiy, Alfredo Hubard +1

Inspired by the classical Riemannian systolic inequality of Gromov we present a combinatorial analogue providing a lower bound on the number of vertices of a simplicial complex in…

Waist of maps measured via Urysohn width

Alexey Balitskiy, Aleksandr Berdnikov

We discuss various questions of the following kind: for a continuous map from a compact metric space to a simplicial complex, can one guarantee the existence of a fiber l…

Local-to-global Urysohn width estimates

Alexey Balitskiy, Aleksandr Berdnikov

The notion of the Urysohn -width measures to what extent a metric space can be approximated by a -dimensional simplicial complex. We investigate how local Urysohn width bound…

A multi-plank generalization of the Bang and Kadets inequalities

Alexey Balitskiy

If a convex body is covered by the union of convex bodies , multiple subadditivity questions can be asked. Two classical results regard t…

Flip cycles in plabic graphs

Alexey Balitskiy, Julian Wellman

Planar bicolored (plabic) graphs are combinatorial objects introduced by Postnikov to give parameterizations of the positroid cells of the totally nonnegative Grassmannian $\text{G…

Optimality of codes with respect to error probability in Gaussian noise

Alexey Balitskiy, Roman Karasev, Alexander Tsigler

We consider geometrical optimization problems related to optimizing the error probability in the presence of a Gaussian noise. One famous questions in the field is the "weak simple…

On the Circle Covering Theorem by A. W. Goodman and R. E. Goodman

Arseniy Akopyan, Alexey Balitskiy, Mikhail Grigorev

In 1945, A. W. Goodman and R. E. Goodman proved the following conjecture by P. Erdős: Given a family of (round) disks of radii , , in the plane it is always poss…

Dependence of the heavily covered point on parameters

Alexey Balitskiy, Roman Karasev

We examine Gromov's method of selecting a point "heavily covered" by simplices formed by a given finite point sets, in order to understand the dependence of the heavily covered poi…

Equality cases in Viterbo's conjecture and isoperimetric billiard inequalities

Alexey Balitskiy

In this note we apply the billiard technique to deduce some results on Viterbo's conjectured inequality between volume of a convex body and its symplectic capacity. We show that th…

Billiards in convex bodies with acute angles

Arseniy Akopyan, Alexey Balitskiy

In this paper we investigate the existence of closed billiard trajectories in not necessarily smooth convex bodies. In particular, we show that if a body ha…

Shortest Closed Billiard Trajectories in the Plane and Equality Cases in Mahler's Conjecture

Alexey Balitskiy

In this note we prove some Rogers-Shepard type inequalities for the lengths of shortest closed billiard trajectories, mostly in the planar case. We also establish some properties o…

Elementary approach to closed billiard trajectories in asymmetric normed spaces

Arseniy V. Akopyan, Alexey M. Balitskiy, Roman N. Karasev +1

We apply the technique of Károly Bezdek and Daniel Bezdek to study billiard trajectories in convex bodies, when the length is measured with a (possibly asymmetric) norm. We prove a…

Another ham sandwich in the plane

Alexey Balitskiy, Alexey Garber, Roman Karasev

We show that every two nice measures in the plane can be partitioned into equal halves by translation of an angle from arbitrary k-fan when k is odd and in some cases when k is eve…
