A lower bound for the dispersion on the torus

Abstract

We consider the volume of the largest axis-parallel box in the d-dimensional torus that contains no point of a given point set Pn with n elements. We prove that, for all natural numbers d,n and every point set Pn, this volume is bounded from below by min{1,d/n}. This implies the same lower bound for the discrepancy on the torus.
