The Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin-symmetric convex bodies in real Euclidean n-space with smaller central hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller volume. The answer is affirmative for n less or equal to 4 and negative if n…

A classical theorem of Macbeath states that for any integers $d \geq 2$, $n \geq d+1$, $d$-dimensional Euclidean balls are hardest to approximate, in terms of volume difference, by inscribed convex polytopes with $n$ vertices. In this paper…

The volume of a Cartier divisor is an asymptotic invariant, which measures the rate of growth of sections of powers of the divisor. It extends to a continuous, homogeneous, and log-concave function on the whole N\'eron--Severi space, thus…

The aim of this paper is to study properties of sections of convex bodies with respect to different types of measures. We present a formula connecting the Minkowski functional of a convex symmetric body K with the measure of its sections.…

Gr\"unbaum's inequality guarantees that the centroid of a convex body has halfspace depth at least $1/e$: every halfspace containing the centroid captures at least a $1/e$ fraction of the body's volume. For mixed-integer convex sets…

The investigation of the volume, surface area, and other geometric properties of sections of convex bodies, and in particular cubes, has a long history and a rich literature. However, much less is known when the cube has a volume…

The covariogram g_K(x) of a convex body K \subseteq E^d is the function which associates to each x \in E^d the volume of the intersection of K with K+x. Matheron asked whether g_K determines K, up to translations and reflections in a point.…

We define and study the renormalized volume for geometrically finite hyperbolic $3$-manifolds, including with rank-$1$ cusps. We prove a variation formula, and show that for certain families of convex co-compact hyperbolic metrics $g_\eps$…

Consider a BV function on a Riemannian manifold. What is its differential? And what about the Hessian of a convex function? These questions have clear answers in terms of (co)vector/matrix valued measures if the manifold is the Euclidean…
