We introduce complex intersection bodies and show that their properties and applications are similar to those of their real counterparts. In particular, we generalize Busemann's theorem to the complex case by proving that complex…
Information plays an important role in our understanding of the physical world. We hence propose an entropic measure of information for any physical theory that admits systems, states and measurements. In the quantum and classical world,…
Coarse geometry studies metric spaces on the large scale. Our goal here is to study dynamics from a coarse point of view. To this end we introduce a coarse version of topological entropy, suitable for unbounded metric spaces, consistent…
Motivated by the relative differential geometry, where the Euclidean normal vector of hypersurfaces is generalized by a relative normalization, we introduce anisotropic area measures of convex bodies, constructed with respect to a gauge…
We investigate metric projections and distance functions referring to convex bodies in finite-dimensional normed spaces. For this purpose we identify the vector space with its dual space by using, instead of the usual identification via the…
We establish convergence in the diffusive limit from entropy weak solutions of the equations of compressible gas dynamics with friction to the porous media equation away from vacuum. The result is based on a Lyapunov type of functional…
We develop an information-theoretic perspective on some questions in convex geometry, providing for instance a new equipartition property for log-concave probability measures, some Gaussian comparison results for log-concave measures, an…
We introduce a new notion of local inverse metric entropy along backward trajectories for ergodic measures preserved by endomorphisms (non-invertible maps) on a compact metric space. A second notion of inverse measure entropy is defined by…
We prove new versions of the isomorphic Busemann-Petty problem for two different measures and show how these results can be used to recover slicing and distance inequalities. We also prove a sharp upper estimate for the outer volume ratio…
We analyze aspects of the behavior of the family of inner parallel bodies of a convex body for the isoperimetric quotient and deficit of arbitrary quermassintegrals. By means of technical boundary properties of the so-called form body of a…
We consider systems of conservation laws endowed with a convex entropy. We show the contraction, up to a translation, to extremal entropic shocks, for a pseudo-distance based on the notion of relative entropy. The contraction holds for…
Anosov representations give a higher-rank analogue of convex cocompactness in a rank-one Lie group which shares many of its good geometric and dynamical properties; geometric finiteness in rank one may be seen as a controlled weakening of…
Quantitative estimates are derived, on the whole space, for the relative entropy between the joint law of random interacting particles and the tensorized law at the limiting systeme. The developed method combines the relative entropy method…
Given any polar pair of convex bodies we study its conjugate face maps and we characterize conjugate faces of non-exposed faces in terms of normal cones. The analysis is carried out using the positive hull operator which defines lattice…
In this paper, we give an overview of some results concerning best and random approximation of convex bodies by polytopes. We explain how both are linked and see that random approximation is almost as good as best approximation.
In this paper we apply the entropy principle to the relativistic version of the differential equations describing a standard fluid flow, that is, the equations for mass, momentum, and a system for the energy matrix. These are the second…
It was shown by G. Pisier that any finite-dimensional normed space admits an $\alpha$-regular $M$-position, guaranteeing not only regular entropy estimates but moreover regular estimates on the diameters of minimal sections of its unit-ball…
In 1997, Katok--Thouvenot and Ferenczi independently introduced a notion of ``slow entropy'' as a way to quantitatively compare measure-preserving systems with zero entropy. We develop a relative version of this theory for a…
We prove a pointwise version of the multi-dimensional central limit theorem for convex bodies. Namely, let X be an isotropic random vector in R^n with a log-concave density. For a typical subspace E in R^n of dimension n^c, consider the…
Recently, Bo'az Klartag showed that arbitrary convex bodies have Gaussian marginals in most directions. We show that Klartag's quantitative estimates may be improved for many uniformly convex bodies. These include uniformly convex bodies…
