Inspired by the Weierstrass representation of smooth affine minimal surfaces with indefinite metric, we propose a constructive process producing a large class of discrete surfaces that we call discrete affine minimal surfaces. We show that…

In this paper we discuss some affine properties of convex equal-area polygons, which are convex polygons such that all triangles formed by three consecutive vertices have the same area. Besides being able to approximate closed convex smooth…

Affine invariant points and maps for sets were introduced by Gr\"unbaum to study the symmetry structure of convex sets. We extend these notions to a functional setting. The role of symmetry of the set is now taken by evenness of the…

Using the method of moving frames we analyze the algebra of differential invariants for surfaces in three-dimensional affine geometry. For elliptic, hyperbolic, and parabolic points, we show that if the algebra of differential invariants is…

We define floating bodies in the class of $n$-dimensional ball-convex bodies. A right derivative of volume of these floating bodies leads to a surface area measure for ball-convex bodies which we call relative affine surface area. We show…

In this paper, we introduce several mixed $L_p$ geominimal surface areas for multiple convex bodies for all $p\neq -n$. Our definitions are motivated from an equivalent formula for the mixed $p$-affine surface area. Some properties, such as…

In this paper, inspired by the work of Guan and Li (2015), we introduce a fourth-order centro-equiaffine invariant curve flow via the affine Minkowski formula. Without any smallness assumptions on the initial curve, we establish the…

This paper is devoted to the complete classification of space curves under affine transformations in the view of Cartan's theorem. Spivak has introduced the method but has not found the invariants. Furthermore, for the first time, we…

We consider two types of $p$-centro affine flows on smooth, centrally symmetric, closed convex planar curves, $p$-contracting, respectively, $p$-expanding. Here $p$ is an arbitrary real number greater than 1. We show that, under any…

For a pseudoconvex tube domain, we prove estimates that relate the sublevel sets of its diagonal Bergman kernel to the floating bodies of its convex base. This allows us to associate a new affine invariant to any convex body.

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb R^n$. We introduce a new affine invariant, which we call $\Omega_K$, that can be found in three different ways: as a limit of normalized $L_p$-affine surface areas, as the relative entropy of the cone…
