Distributions of random walks on boundaries of balls in hyperbolic metric spaces

Suppose $G$ is a finitely-generated non-elementary hyperbolic group and consider a symmetric random walk on the Cayley graph $\text{Cay}(G,S)$ with generating set $S$. Denote the set of points $B_{\...

Estimating the volume of a convex shape in higher dimensions based only on normal sections

We are given a $d$-dimensional convex shape $S$ inscribed in the hypercube $[-1,1]^d$. We want find an approximation of its volume based only on a set of curves given by the intersection of the $S$ ...

Volume of a shape whose boundary consists of portions of spheres symmetrically placed about the origin in $d\gg 1$ dimensions

We are given a convex shape $S$ in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, whose boundary is formed by portions of $2d$ different spheres, one portion per sphere. The radius of each sphere is the same, $...

Is there a connection between |roots| $\rightarrow$ 1 and Gromov's waist theorem?

Recent questions showed that roots of a random polynomial tend to lie on the unit circle ("Why do roots of polynomials tend to have absolute value close to 1?"; "Distribution of roots of complex ...
