We analyze the joint numerical range $W$ of three hermitian matrices of order four. In the generic case, this three-dimensional convex set has a smooth boundary. We analyze non-generic structures. Fifteen possible classes regarding the…

Convex geometry has recently attracted great attention as a framework to formulate general probabilistic theories. In this framework, convex sets and affine maps represent the state spaces of physical systems and the possible dynamics,…

We consider a symmetric matrix, the entries of which depend linearly on some parameters. The domains of the parameters are compact real intervals. We investigate the problem of checking whether for each (or some) setting of the parameters,…

Semialgebraic splines are bivariate splines over meshes whose edges are arcs of algebraic curves. They were first considered by Wang, Chui, and Stiller. We compute the dimension of the space of semialgebraic splines in two extreme cases. If…

We study the convex hull of $SO(n)$, thought of as the set of $n\times n$ orthogonal matrices with unit determinant, from the point of view of semidefinite programming. We show that the convex hull of $SO(n)$ is doubly spectrahedral, i.e.…

For a projective variety $X$ defined over a non-Archimedean complete non-trivially valued field $k$, and a semipositive metrized line bundle $(L, \phi)$ over it, we establish a metric extension result for sections of $L^{\otimes n}$ from a…

Packing problems in discrete geometry can be modeled as finding independent sets in infinite graphs where one is interested in independent sets which are as large as possible. For finite graphs one popular way to compute upper bounds for…

Positive definite matrices abound in a dazzling variety of applications. This ubiquity can be in part attributed to their rich geometric structure: positive definite matrices form a self-dual convex cone whose strict interior is a…

Matrix configurations coming from matrix models comprise many important aspects of modern physics. They represent special quantum spaces and are thus strongly related to noncommutative geometry. In order to establish a semiclassical limit…

Affine geometry is usually regarded as a framework in which metric notions such as distance and angle are absent. However, just as projective geometry produces various metric geometries by introducing additional structures on the line at…
