The Ultimate Matching Theorem in Dimension ≥3

  • Chapter
Upper and Lower Bounds for Stochastic Processes

Abstract

In Chapter 15 we consider matchings in dimension ≥3. We are able to obtain the seemingly final result, a strong version of “the ultimate matching conjecture”. There are no more fractional powers of logN here, but in a random sample of N points uniformly distributed in [0,1]3, local irregularities occur at all scales between N −1/3 and (logN)1/3 N −1/3, and our result can be seen as a precise global description of these irregularities.
