Dimension reduction by random hyperplane tesselations
"Given a subset K of the unit Euclidean sphere, we estimate the minimal number m = m(K) of hyperplanes that generate a uniform tessellation of K, in the sense that the fraction of the hyperplanes separating any pair x,y in K is nearly proportional to the Euclidean distance between x and y. Random hyperplanes prove to be almost ideal for this problem; they achieve the almost optimal bound m = O(w(K)^2) where w(K) is the Gaussian mean width of K."

Tight embedding of subspaces of $L_p$ in $\ell_p^n$ for even $p$
"We obtain a tight estimate on the dimension of $\ell_p^n$, $p$ an even integer, needed to almost isometrically contain all $k$-dimensional subspaces of $L_p$."

15-859(J) Metric Embeddings, Fall 2003
"In recent years, the study of distance-preserving embeddings has given a powerful tool to algorithm designers. This course will study various aspects of embedding of metric spaces into "simpler" ones."
