The covariogram $g_{K}$ of a convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is the function which associates to each $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$ the volume of the intersection of $K$ with $K+x$. Determining $K$ from the knowledge of $g_K$ is known as the…

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.…

The covariogram g_K of a convex body K in E^d is the function which associates to each x in E^d the volume of the intersection of K with K+x. In 1986 G. Matheron conjectured that for d=2 the covariogram g_K determines K within the class of…

The cross covariogram g_{K,L} of two convex sets K and L in R^n is the function which associates to each x in R^n the volume of the intersection of K and L+x. Very recently Averkov and Bianchi [AB] have confirmed Matheron's conjecture on…

The covariogram of a compact set A contained in R^n is the function that to each x in R^n associates the volume of A intersected with (A+x). Recently it has been proved that the covariogram determines any planar convex body, in the class of…

The cross covariogram g_{K,L} of two convex sets K, L in R^n is the function which associates to each x in R^n the volume of the intersection of K with L+x. The problem of determining the sets from their covariogram is relevant in…

A finite subset $K$ of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ is said to be lattice-convex if $K$ is the intersection of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with a convex set. The covariogram $g_K$ of $K\subseteq \mathbb{Z}^d$ is the function associating to each $u \in \integer^d$ the…

We propose strongly consistent algorithms for reconstructing the characteristic function 1_K of an unknown convex body K in R^n from possibly noisy measurements of the modulus of its Fourier transform \hat{1_K}. This represents a complete…

The section volume function $A_K(\xi,t), \ \xi \in \mathbb R^n, \ t \in \mathbb R,$ of a body $K \subset \mathbb R^n$ evaluates the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of the cross-section $K$ by the hyperplane $\{ x \cdot \xi=t \}.$ We are…

We generalize classical kinematic formulas for convex bodies in a real vector space $V$ to the setting of non-compact Lie groups admitting a Cartan decomposition. Specifically, let $G$ be a closed linear group with Cartan decomposition $G…

A homogeneous quasimorphism $\phi$ on a normal subgroup $N$ of $G$ is said to be $G$-invariant if $\phi(gxg^{-1}) = \phi(x)$ for every $g \in G$ and for every $x \in N$. Invariant quasimorphisms have naturally appeared in symplectic…

We investigate Minkowski additive, continuous, and translation invariant operators $\Phi:\mathcal{K}^n\to\mathcal{K}^n$ defined on the family of convex bodies such that the volume of the image $\Phi(K)$ is bounded from above and below by…

Let K be a closed bounded convex subset of $\Bbb R^n$; then by a result of the first author, which extends a classical theorem of Whitney there is a constant $w_m(K)$ so that for every continuous function f on K there is a polynomial $\phi$…

In this article we show the following result: if $C$ is an $n$-dimensional convex and compact subset, $f:C\rightarrow[0,\infty)$ is concave, and $\phi:[0,\infty)\rightarrow[0,\infty)$ is a convex function with $\phi(0)=0$, we then…

Generalizing the slicing inequality for functions on convex bodies from [11], it was proved in [4] that there exists an absolute constant $c$ so that for any $n\in \mathbb N$, any $q\in [0,n-1)$ which is not an odd integer, any…

The aim of this note is to investigate the properties of the convex hull and the homothetic convex hull functions of a convex body $K$ in Euclidean $n$-space, defined as the volume of the union of $K$ and one of its translates, and the…

Let $K$ be an isotropic symmetric convex body in ${\mathbb R}^n$. We show that a subspace $F\in G_{n,n-k}$ of codimension $k=\gamma n$, where $\gamma\in (1/\sqrt{n},1)$, satisfies $$K\cap F\subseteq \frac{c}{\gamma }\sqrt{n}L_K (B_2^n\cap…

A question related to some conjectures of Lutwak about the affine quermassintegrals of a convex body $K$ in ${\mathbb R}^n$ asks whether for every convex body $K$ in ${\mathbb R}^n$ and all $1\leqslant k\leqslant n$ $$\Phi_{[k]}(K):={\rm…

Let T be a compact torus and X a nice compact T-space (say a manifold or variety). We introduce a functor assigning to X a "GKM-sheaf" F_X over a "GKM-hypergraph" G_X. Under the condition that X is equivariantly formal, the ring of global…

For valuations on convex bodies in Euclidean spaces, there is by now a long series of characterization and classification theorems. The classical template is Hadwiger's theorem, saying that every rigid motion invariant, continuous,…
