AbstractWe consider an even probability distribution on the d-dimensional Euclidean space with the property that it assigns measure zero to any hyperplane through the origin. Given N independent random vectors with this distribution, under the condition that they do not positively span the whole space, the positive hull of these vectors is a random polyhedral cone (and its intersection with the unit sphere is a random spherical polytope). It was first studied by Cover and Efron. We consider the expected face numbers of these random cones and describe a threshold phenomenon when the dimension d and the number N of random vectors tend to infinity. In a similar way we treat the solid angle, and more generally the Grassmann angles. We further consider the expected numbers of k-faces and of Grassmann angles of index $$d-k$$ d - k when also k tends to infinity.

Abstract We give a characterization of all those groups of isometric transformations of a finite-dimensional Euclidean space, for which an analogue of the classical Vitali theorem [Sul problema della misura dei gruppi di punti di una retta, 1905] holds true. This characterization is formulated in purely geometrical terms.

ABSTRACTGeneral shift operators for angular momentum are obtained and applied to find closed expressions for some Wigner coefficients occurring in a transformation between two equivalent representations of the four-dimensional rotation group. The transformation gives rise to analytical relations between hyperspherical harmonics in a four-dimensional Euclidean space.

1. A type of problem which frequently occurs in probability theory and statistics can be formulated in the following way. We are given real-valued functions f(x), gi(x) (i = 1, 2, …, k) on a space (typically finite-dimensional Euclidean space). Then the problem is to set bounds for Ef(X), where X is a random variable taking values in , about which all we know is the values of Egi(X). For example, we might wish to set bounds for P(X > a), where X is a real random variable with some of its moments given.

Parametric Class

We study a parametric class of isotropic but not necessarily stationary Poisson hyperplane tessellations in n-dimensional Euclidean space. Our focus is on the volume of the zero cell, i.e. the cell containing the origin. As a main result, we obtain an explicit formula for the variance of the volume of the zero cell in arbitrary dimensions. From this formula we deduce the asymptotic behaviour of the volume of the zero cell as the dimension goes to ∞.

Geometric Incidences

Given a set of s points and a set of n2 lines in three-dimensional Euclidean space such that each line is incident to n points but no n lines are coplanar, we show that s = Ω(n11/4). This is the first non-trivial answer to a question recently posed by Jean Bourgain.

1. Introduction. We consider the group of proper orthogonal transformations (rotations) in three-dimensional Euclidean space, represented by real orthogonal matrices (aik) (i, k = 1,2,3) with determinant + 1 . It is known that this rotation group contains free (non-abelian) subgroups; in fact Hausdorff (5) showed how to find two rotations P and Q generating a group with only two non-trivial relationsP2 = Q3 = I.
