This paper studies the covolumes of nonuniform arithmetic lattices in PU(n, 1). We determine the smallest covolume nonuniform arithmetic lattices for each n, the number of minimal covolume lattices for each n, and study the growth of the…

In this paper, we consider integral maximal lattice-free simplices. Such simplices have integer vertices and contain integer points in the relative interior of each of their facets, but no integer point is allowed in the full interior. In…

Li introduced the normalized volume of a valuation due to its relation to K-semistability. He conjectured that over a klt singularity there exists a valuation with smallest normalized volume. We prove this conjecture and provide an example…

Intrinsic volumes, which generalize both Euler characteristic and Lebesgue volume, are important properties of $d$-dimensional sets. A random cubical complex is a union of unit cubes, each with vertices on a regular cubic lattice,…

We state a general formula to compute the volume of the intersection of the regular $n$-simplex with some $k$-dimensional subspace. It is known that for central hyperplanes the one through the centroid containing $n-1$ vertices gives the…

Closed hyperbolic manifolds are proven to minimize volume over all Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below by -1 in the same bilipschitz class. As a corollary compact convex cores with totally geodesic boundary are proven to minimize…

We show that a minimal dynamical system $(X,\mathbb{Z})$ on a compact metric $X$ with mdim$X=d$ admits for every natural $k>d$ an equivariant map to the shift $([0,1]^k)^{\mathbb{Z}}$ such that each fiber of this map contains at most…

Let $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ be a convex body and let $\mathbf{w} \in \operatorname{int}(K)$ be an interior point of $K$. The coefficient of asymmetry $\operatorname{ca}(K,\mathbf{w}) := \min\{ \lambda \geq 1 : \mathbf{w} - K \subseteq…

We find tight estimates for the minimum number of proper subspaces needed to cover all lattice points in an n-dimensional convex body symmetric about the origin. We also find the order of magnitude of the number of (n-1)-dimensional…
