Random walks and Lyapunov exponents

Random dynamical systems by Ludwig Arnold contains a thorough discussion of various multiplicative ergodic theorems (including the Furstenberg-Kesten result), but not the central limit theorems. As fa …

Are there smooth bodies of constant width?

Fillmore showed that there are sets of constant width in $\mathbb R^d$ with analytic boundaries which have a trivial symmetry group (so these are very different from spheres; see "Symmetries of surfac …

Quantitative bounds for multivariate central limit theorem

There is a bunch of such statements which can be obtained by Stein's method. You might be interested in the paper "On the Rate of Convergence in the Multivariate CLT" by Gotze, which is specifically …

Who discovered the winding number?

Grünbaum and Shephard suggest that the winding numbers (for closed polygons) have been discussed in the literature at least since 1769. See A.L.F. Meister, Generalia de genesi figurarum planarum …

Surface equivalent of catenary curve

A model equation for an inextensible, flexible, heavy surface in a gravitational field was deduced by Poisson Lagrange and later the problem was also studied by Poisson (see the references in the link …

Area of cross-section (at midpoint perpendicular to longest diagonal) in the unit cube of di...

This is a very old problem and there is a classical analytic approach to it. You can express the volume of sections of a convex body in terms of the Fourier transform of powers of the Minkowski functi …

What are "classical groups"?

Such a definition (but not the definition, I suppose) can be found in Clifford Algebras and the Classical Groups by Ian Porteous (see Chapt. 13). It is based on the classification of real algebra an …

Invertibility of the Laplacian

A careful exposition can be found in "Analytic Semigroups and Semilinear Initial Boundary Value Problems" by Kazuaki Taira. He considers the mixed boundary value problem $$\begin{cases} A u=f & \mb …

How to "globalize" the inverse function theorem?

There exist several known global implicit function theorems. Those results tend to be tailored for specific applications. It seems to be rather difficult to state a universally useful one-size-fits-al …

On the number of Archimedean solids

A proof of the enumeration theorem for the Archimedean solids (which basically dates back to Kepler) can be found in the beautiful book "Polyhedra" by P.R. Cromwell (Cambridge University Press 1997, p …

What are Central Limit Theorems and why are they called so?

From the introduction to History of the Central Limit Theorem: From Laplace to Donsker by Hans Fischer: The term “central limit theorem” most likely traces back to Georg Pólya. As he recapitulat …

Rolling a convex body: Geodesics vs. rolling curves

The rolling motion of a convex symmetric body on a horizontal plane is a classical problem. In the symmetric case, Chaplygin was the first who showed that the full equations of motion can be reduced t …
