Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $f : \partial K \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_+$ a continuous, strictly positive function with $\int\limits_{\partial K} f(x) d \mu_{\partial K}(x) = 1$. We give an upper bound for the approximation…

Mixed volumes in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space are functionals of $n$-tuples of convex bodies $K,L,C_1,\ldots,C_{n-2}$. The Alexandrov--Fenchel inequalities are fundamental inequalities between mixed volumes of convex bodies. As very…

We prove that the Weinstock inequality for the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue holds in $\mathbb{R}^n$, for $n\ge 3$, in the class of convex sets with prescribed surface area. The key result is a sharp isoperimetric inequality involving…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\R^d$, let $j\in\{1, ..., d-1\}$, and let $\varrho$ be a positive and continuous probability density function with respect to the $(d-1)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure on the boundary $\partial K$ of $K$. Denote…

In this paper, we establish a generalised Blaschke-Santal\`o inequality for convex bodies in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$. This inequality gives an upper bound estimate for the product of dual quermassintegrals of convex body and its polar set. Our…

Given a centrally symmetric convex body $K \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and a positive number $\lambda$, we consider, among all ellipsoids $E \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of volume $\lambda$, those that best approximate $K$ with respect to the symmetric…

Motivated by long-standing conjectures on the discretization of classical inequalities in the Geometry of Numbers, we investigate a new set of parameters, which we call \emph{packing minima}, associated to a convex body $K$ and a lattice…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. We denote the volume of $K$ by $Vol(K)$ and the diameter of $K$ by $Diam(K).$ In this paper we prove that there exists a linear bijection $T:\mathbb{R}^{3}\to \mathbb{R}^{3}$ such that…

Recall that a convex body $K$ is in John's position if the unit Euclidean ball is the maximal volume ellipsoid contained in $K$. Approximating convex body in John's position by polytopes we obtain the following results. 1. Let $n>R_n\ge 1$…

Every convex body K in R^n has a coordinate projection PK that contains at least vol(0.1 K) cells of the integer lattice PZ^n, provided this volume is at least one. Our proof of this counterpart of Minkowski's theorem is based on an…

We prove the theorem mentioned in the title, for ${\mathbb{R}}^n$, where $n \ge 3$. The case of the simplex was known previously. Also, the case $n=2$ was settled, but there the infimum was some well-defined function of the side lengths. We…

We present an alternative approach to some results of Koldobsky on measures of sections of symmetric convex bodies, which allows us to extend them to the not necessarily symmetric setting. We prove that if $K$ is a convex body in ${\mathbb…

We revisit an ingenious argument of K. Ball to provide sharp estimates for the volume of sections of a convex body in John's position. Our technique combines the geometric Brascamp-Lieb inequality with a generalised Parseval-type identity.…

If $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ is a convex body and $\Gamma_pK$ is the $p$-centroid body of $K$, the $L_p$ Busemann-Petty centroid inequality states that $\vol(\Gamma_pK) \geq \vol(K)$, with equality if and only if $K$ is an ellipsoid centered…

If a convex body $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is covered by the union of convex bodies $C_1, \ldots, C_N$, multiple subadditivity questions can be asked. Two classical results regard the subadditivity of the width (the smallest distance between…
