We state and prove a new closure theorem closely related to the classical closure theorems of Poncelet and Steiner. Along the way, we establish a number of theorems concerning conic sections.

Let $n$ and $k$ be nonnegative integers such that $1\le k\le n+1$. The convex cone $\mathcal{F}_+^{k:n}$ of all functions $f$ on an arbitrary interval $I\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ whose derivatives $f^{(j)}$ of orders $j=k-1,\dots,n$ are…

The classical Cohn-Vossen theorem states that two isometric compact convex surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ are congruent. In this short note, we generalize the classical Cohn-Vossen Theorem to higher dimensional surfaces in space form…

In this paper I present a comparison theorem for the waist of Riemannian manifolds with positive sectional curvature. The main theorem of this paper gives a partial positive answer to a conjecture formulated by M.Gromov in [8]. The content…

We prove an existence theorem for convex hypersurfaces of prescribed Gauss curvature in the complement of a compact set in Euclidean space which are close to a cone.

We prove a strengthening of the trickle down theorem for partite complexes. Given a $(d+1)$-partite $d$-dimensional simplicial complex, we show that if "on average" the links of faces of co-dimension 2 are $\frac{1-\delta}{d}$-(one-sided)…

We study a properly convex real projective manifold with (possibly empty) compact, strictly convex boundary, and which consists of a compact part plus finitely many convex ends. We extend a theorem of Koszul which asserts that for a compact…

S. L. Tabachnikov's conjecture is proved: for any closed curve $\Gamma$ lying inside convex closed curve $\Gamma_1$ the mean absolute curvature $T(\Gamma)$ exceeds $T(\Gamma_1)$ if $\Gamma\ne k\Gamma_1$. An inequality $T(\Gamma)\ge…

The notion of a linear Coxeter system introduced by Vinberg generalizes the geometric representation of a Coxeter group. Our main theorem asserts that if $v$ is an element of the Tits cone of a linear Coxeter system and $\cW$ is the…

S. Kov\'acs proposed a conjecture on rigidity results induced by ample subsheaves of some exterior power of tangent bundles for projective manifolds. We verify the conjecture in the case of second exterior products under a rank condition.…

We use Totaro's examples of non-semiample nef line bundles on smooth projective surfaces over finite fields to construct nef line bundles for which the first cohomology group cannot be killed by any generically finite covers. This is used…

Let L be a nef line bundle on a projective scheme X in positive characteristic. We prove that the augmented base locus of L is equal to the union of the irreducible closed subsets V of X such that the restriction of L to V is not big. For a…

We lay the foundations of convex hypersurface theory in contact topology, extending the work of Giroux in dimension three. Specifically, we prove that any closed hypersurface in a contact manifold can be $C^0$-approximated by a convex one.…

We describe nef vector bundles on a projective space with first Chern class three and second Chern class eight over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero by giving them a minimal resolution in terms of a full strong…

By identifying a family of corner cutting schemes as a dimension elevation process of Gelfond-Bezier curves, we give a Muntz type condition for the convergence of the generated control polygons to the underlying curve. The surprising…

We prove the following version of the Kreps-Yan theorem. For any norm closed convex cone $C\subset L^\infty$ such that $C\cap L_+^\infty=\{0\}$ and $C\supset -L_+^\infty$, there exists a strictly positive continuous linear functional, whose…

We give an exposition of the theory of adjoints and conductors for curves on nonsingular surfaces, emphasizing the case of plane curves, for which the presentation is particularly elementary. This is closely related to Max Noether's…

An antinorm is a concave nonnegative homogeneous functional on a convex cone. It is shown that if the cone is polyhedral, then every antinorm has a unique continuous extension from the interior of the cone. The main facts of the duality…

We introduce a new fixed point theorem of Krasnoselskii type for discontinuous operators. As an application we use it to study the existence of positive solutions of a second-order differential problem with separated boundary conditions and…

We consider the cones of curves and divisors on the moduli space of stable pointed rational curves,M_n, and on the quotient by the symmetric group, Q_n, which is a moduli space of pairs. We find generators for contractible extremal rays of…
