We present a new lower bound on the differential entropy rate of stationary processes whose sequences of probability density functions fulfill certain regularity conditions. This bound is obtained by showing that the gap between the…

We raise and investigate the following problem that one can regard as a very close relative of the densest sphere packing problem. If the Euclidean 3-space is partitioned into convex cells each containing a unit ball, how should the shapes…

The purpose of this paper is to answer the following question: If all hyperplane sections through the origin of a convex body are "equal", is the convex body "equal" to the ball? The meaning of the notion "equal" will change in the course…

We give an overview of the constrained Willmore problem and address some conjectures arising from partial results and numerical experiments. Ramifications of these conjectures would lead to a deeper understanding of the Willmore functional…

In his paper "On the Schlafli differential equality", J. Milnor conjectured that the volume of n-dimensional hyperbolic and spherical simplices, as a function of the dihedral angles, extends continuously to the closure of the space of…

We prove a common generalization to several mass partition results using hyperplane arrangements to split $\mathbb{R}^d$ into two sets. Our main result implies the ham-sandwich theorem, the necklace splitting theorem for two thieves, a…

The approximability of a convex body is a number which measures the difficulty to approximate that body by polytopes. We prove that twice the approximability is equal to the volume entropy for a Hilbert geometry in dimension two end three…

In this paper we prove a theorem that provides an upper bound for the density of packings of congruent copies of a given convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$; this theorem is a generalization of the linear programming bound for sphere packings. We…

We prove a sharp lower bound for the fundamental gap on convex domains in Gaussian spaces, the difference between the first two eigenvalues of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Our main result establishes…

In this paper, we investigate the extent to which the Bump-Hoffstein conjecture could be generalized for central coverings of general linear groups. We provide evidence for such generalized Bump-Hoffstein conjecture by proving some special…

While there is extensive literature on approximation of convex bodies by inscribed or circumscribed polytopes, much less is known in the case of generally positioned polytopes. Here we give upper and lower bounds for approximation of convex…

Caffarelli's contraction theorem and the analogous Laplacian result in [arXiv:2411.12109, arXiv:2501.11382] are two examples of how log-Hessian bounds on probability densities yield estimates on the derivative of the corresponding Brenier…

The Gaussian Correlation Conjecture states that for any two symmetric, convex sets in n-dimensional space and for any centered, Gaussian measure on that space, the measure of the intersection is greater than or equal to the product of the…

Chaining techniques show that if X is an isotropic log-concave random vector in R^n and Gamma is a standard Gaussian vector then E |X| < C n^{1/4} E |Gamma| for any norm |*|, where C is a universal constant. Using a completely different…

As a natural analog of Urysohn's inequality in Euclidean space, Gao, Hug, and Schneider showed in 2003 that in spherical or hyperbolic space, the total measure of totally geodesic hypersurfaces meeting a given convex body K is minimized…

In this paper, we investigate the polyhedral structure of two submodular sets with generalized upper bound (GUB) constraints, which arise as important substructures in various real-world applications. We derive a class of strong valid…

Plank problems concern the covering of convex bodies by planks in Euclidean space and are related to famous open problems in convex geometry. In this survey, we introduce plank problems and present surprising applications of plank theorems…

We verify the 3-dimensional Glassey conjecture on asymptotically flat manifolds $(R^{1+3}, g)$, where the metric $g$ is certain small space-time perturbation of the flat metric, as well as the nontrapping asymptotically Euclidean manifolds.…

The hyperbolic Ax-Lindemann-Weierstrass conjecture is a functional algebraic independence statement for the uniformizing map of an arithmetic variety. In this paper we provide a proof of this conjecture, generalizing previous work of…

Several papers have been written studying unexpected hypersurfaces. We say a finite set of points Z admits unexpected hypersurfaces if a general union of fat linear subspaces imposes less that the expected number of conditions on the ideal…
