We construct a convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n \geq 5$, with the property that there is exactly one hyperplane $H$ passing through $c(K)$, the centroid of $K$, such that the centroid of $K\cap H$ coincides with $c(K)$. This provides…

A generalization of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem to Stiefel manifolds is considered. This theorem is applied to derive bounds on $d$ that guarantee-for a given set of $m$ measures in $\mathbb{R}^d$-the existence of $k$ mutually orthogonal…

Gr\"unbaum's inequality guarantees that the centroid of a convex body has halfspace depth at least $1/e$: every halfspace containing the centroid captures at least a $1/e$ fraction of the body's volume. For mixed-integer convex sets…

We prove a warped product splitting theorem for manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded from below in the spirit of [Croke-Kleiner, \emph{Duke Math.\;J}.\;(1992)], but instead of asking that one boundary component is compact and mean-convex,…

We prove an inequality that extends to arbitrary measures the hyperplane inequality for volume of unconditional convex bodies originally observed by Bourgain.

Let $K, D$ be $n$-dimensional convex bodes. Define the distance between $K$ and $D$ as $$ d(K,D) = \inf \{\lambda | T K \subset D+x \subset \lambda \cdot TK \}, $$ where the infimum is taken over all $x \in R^n$ and all invertible linear…

A closed convex subset of a normed linear space is said to have the strong separation property if it can be strongly separated from every other disjoint closed and convex set by a closed hyperplane. In this paper we give some results on the…

We introduce the notion of halfspaces associated to a group splitting, and investigate the relationship between the coarse geometry of the halfspaces and the coarse geometry of the group. Roughly speaking, the halfspaces of a group…

We show that if the Gauss Image Measure of submeasure $\lambda$ via convex body $K$ agrees with the Gauss Image Measure of $\lambda$ via convex body $L$, then the radial Gauss Image maps of their duals, are equal to each other almost…

For a permutationally invariant unconditional convex body K in R^n we define a finite sequence (K_j), j = 1, ..., n of projections of the body K to the space spanned by first j vectors of the standard basis of R^n. We prove that the…

This paper presents bounds for the best approximation, with respect to the Hausdorff metric, of a convex body $K$ by a circumscribed polytope $P$ with a given number of facets. These bounds are of particular interest if $K$ is elongated. To…

We show that the slicing problem holds true for subspaces of $L_p,p>2$ in the setting of arbitrary measures in place of volume. This generalizes a result of Milman for the original slicing problem.

This work revolves around the two following questions: Given a convex body $C\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, a positive integer $k$ and a finite set $S\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ (or a finite Borel measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$), how many homothets of $C$…

Many classical geometric inequalities on functionals of convex bodies depend on the dimension of the ambient space. We show that this dimension dependence may often be replaced (totally or partially) by different symmetry measures of the…

Depth measures quantify central tendency in the analysis of statistical and geometric data. Selecting a depth measure that is simple and efficiently computable is often important, e.g., when calculating depth for multiple query points or…

The Gauss image problem for convex bodies asks for the existence of a convex body that "links" two given measures on the unit sphere in a certain way. We treat here a corresponding question for pseudo-cones, that is, for unbounded closed…
