We explain a general construction through which concave elliptic operators on complex manifolds give rise to concave functions on cohomology. In particular, this leads to generalized versions of the Khovanskii-Teissier inequalities.

In this paper, we first introduce quermassintegrals for capillary hypersurfaces in the half-space. Then we solve the related isoperimetric type problems for the convex capillary hypersurfaces and obtain the corresponding Alexandrov-Fenchel…

We present a constructive proof of Alexandrov's theorem regarding the existence of a convex polytope with a given metric on the boundary. The polytope is obtained as a result of a certain deformation in the class of generalized convex…
