Through making use of a Borel measure and a piecewise-Riemannian inner scalar product, it is shown that over a Lorentzian manifold every three diffeomorphisms generate a conformal space, whose elements are smooth vector-valued functions…

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…

Consider the deformation of the standard Lorentzian metric on the anti de-Sitter space along the fibers of the Hopf fibration. We study the universal covering of this Lorentzian manifold to exclude a priori presence of time-like cycles. We…

Minkowski's Theorem asserts that every centered measure on the sphere which is not concentrated on a great subsphere is the surface area measure of some convex body, and, moreover, the surface area measure determines a convex body uniquely.…

A general approach to compute the spherical measure of submanifolds in homogeneous groups is provided. We focus our attention on the homogeneous tangent space, that is a suitable weighted algebraic expansion of the submanifold. This space…

Extending the celebrated results of Alexandrov (1958) and Korevaar-Ros (1988) for smooth sets, as well as the results of Schneider (1979) and the first author (1999) for arbitrary convex bodies, we obtain for the first time the…

Approximating convex bodies is a fundamental problem in geometry. Given a convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for a fixed dimension $d$, the objective is to minimize the number of facets of an approximating polytope for a given Hausdorff…

The Minkowski problem in convex geometry concerns showing that a given Borel measure on the unit sphere is, up to perhaps a constant, some type of surface area measure of a convex body. Two types of Minkowski problems in particular are an…

The famous Christoffel problem is possibly the oldest problem of prescribed curvatures for convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. Recently, this problem has been naturally formulated in the context of uniformly $h$-convex hypersurfaces in…

The area of a spherical region can be easily measured by considering which sampling points of a lattice are located inside or outside the region. This point-counting technique is frequently used for measuring the Earth coverage of satellite…

The horospherical $p$-Christoffel-Minkowski problem was posed by Li and Xu (2022) as a problem prescribing the $k$-th horospherical $p$-surface area measure of $h$-convex domains in hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$. It is a natural…
