For a geometrically finite group Gamma of G=SO(n,1), we survey recent developments on counting and equidistribution problems for orbits of Gamma in a homogeneous space H\G where H is trivial, symmetric or horospherical. Main applications are found in an affine sieve on orbits of thin groups as well as in sphere countin…

In this paper we consider an elementary, and largely unexplored, combinatorial problem in low-dimensional topology. Consider a real 2-dimensional compact surface SS, and fix a number of points FF on its boundary. We ask: how many configurations of disjoint arcs are there on SS whose boundary is FF? We find that thi…

Counting objects in digital images is a process that should be replaced by machines. This tedious task is time consuming and prone to errors due to fatigue of human annotators. The goal is to have a system that takes as input an image and returns a count of the objects inside and justification for the prediction in the…

Counting the number of clusters, when these clusters overlap significantly is a challenging problem in machine learning. We argue that a purely mathematical quantum theory, formulated using the path integral technique, when applied to non-physics modeling leads to non-physics quantum theories that are statistical in na…
