We discuss the problem of optimizing the distance function from a given point, subject to polynomial constraints. A key algebraic invariant that governs its complexity is the Euclidean distance degree, which pertains to first-order…
We prove several sharp distortion and monotonicity theorems for spherically convex functions defined on the unit disk involving geometric quantities such as spherical length, spherical area and total spherical curvature. These results can…
In this paper, we investigate properties of set-valued mappings that establish connection between the values of this map at two arbitrary points of the domain and the value at their midpoint. Such properties are, for instance, Jensen…
The classical Schl\"afli formula, and its ``higher'' analogs given in [SS03], are relations between the variations of the volumes and ``curvatures'' of faces of different dimensions of a polyhedra (which can be Euclidean, spherical or…
In this work, we study an analogue of the Weil-Petersson metric on the space of Blaschke products of degree 2 proposed by McMullen. Via the Bers embedding, one may view the Weil-Petersson metric as a metric on the main cardioid of the…
We consider several basic questions pertaining to the geometry of image of a general quadratic map. In general the image of a quadratic map is non-convex, although there are several known classes of quadratic maps when the image is convex.…
We consider several natural sets of curves associated to a given Teichm\"uller disc, such as the systole set or cylinder set, and study their coarse geometry inside the curve graph. We prove that these sets are quasiconvex and agree up to…
We develop a Morse-Lusternik-Schnirelmann theory for the distance between two points of a smoothly embedded circle in a complete Riemannian manifold. This theory suggests very naturally a definition of width that generalises the classical…
Any constant-scalar-curvature Kaehler (cscK) metric on a complex surface may be viewed as a solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations, and this allows one to produce solutions of these equations on any 4-manifold that arises as a compact…
We investigate several computational problems related to the stochastic convex hull (SCH). Given a stochastic dataset consisting of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ each of which has an existence probability, a SCH refers to the convex hull of…
In the static and infalling spherical-shell models of optically thin accretion on Schwarzschild black hole, the formulas for the integrated intensities observed by a distant observer are derived, and by taking the monochromatic emission…
The mixed Christoffel-Minkowski problem asks for necessary and sufficient conditions for a Borel measure on the Euclidean unit sphere to be the mixed area measure of some convex bodies, one of which, appearing multiple times, is free and…
Intuitively speaking, a bipartite graph is mirror if it can be drawn in the Cartesian plane in such a way that, the vertices of one stable are points in x=0, the vertices of the other stable set are points in x=1, the edges are straight…
The discretization of surface intrinsic elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) poses interesting challenges not seen in flat space. The discretization of these PDEs typically proceeds by either parametrizing the surface,…
We obtain $C^2$ a priori estimates for solutions of the nonlinear second-order elliptic equation related to the geometric problem of finding a strictly locally convex hypersurface with prescribed curvature and boundary in a space form.…
We present a complete 3-dimensional Blaschke-Santal\'o diagram for planar convex bodies with respect to the four classical magnitudes inner and outer radius, diameter and (minimal) width in euclidean spaces.
We consider polyhedral approximations of strictly convex compacta in finite dimensional Euclidean spaces (such compacta are also uniformly convex). We obtain the best possible estimates for errors of considered approximations in the…
We apply the Schwarzschild orbit superposition method to mock data in order to investigate the accuracy of recovering the profile of the orbit anisotropy. The mock data come from four numerical realizations of dark matter haloes with well…
This paper is concerned with the theoretical understanding of $\alpha$-stable sheets $U$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$. Our motivation for this is in the context of Bayesian inverse problems, where we consider these processes as prior distributions,…
Ranking distributions according to a stochastic order has wide applications in diverse areas. Although stochastic dominance has received much attention, convex order, particularly in general dimensions, has yet to be investigated from a…
