The chromaticity diagram associated with the CIE 1931 color matching functions is shown to be slightly non-convex. While having no impact on practical colorimetric computations, the non-convexity does have a significant impact on the shape…
Covering space theory is used to construct new examples of buildings.
A convex geometric hypergraph (abbreviated cgh) consists of a collection of subsets of a strictly convex set of points in the plane. Extremal problems for cgh's have been extensively studied in the literature, and in this paper we consider…
This work revolves around the two following questions: Given a convex body $C\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, a positive integer $k$ and a finite set $S\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ (or a finite Borel measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$), how many homothets of $C$…
Recently geometric hypergraphs that can be defined by intersections of pseudohalfplanes with a finite point set were defined in a purely combinatorial way. This led to extensions of earlier results about points and halfplanes to…
Some symmetry problems are formulated and solved. New simple proofs are given for the earlier studied symmetry problems.
If the n-dimensional unit sphere is covered by finitely many spherically convex bodies, then the sum of the inradii of these bodies is at least {\pi}. This bound is sharp, and the equality case is characterized.
The semigroup of convex bodies in ${\mathbb R}^n$ with Minkowski addition has a canonical embedding into an abelian group; its elements have been called virtual convex bodies. Geometric interpretations of such virtual convex bodies have…
Using the language of homotopy type theory (HoTT), we 1) prove a synthetic version of the classification theorem for covering spaces, and 2) explore the existence of canonical change-of-basepoint isomorphisms between homotopy groups. There…
We show how the recent improvement of the Hermite-Hadamard inequality can be applied to some (not necessarily convex) planar figures and three-dimensional bodies satisfying some kind of regularity.
If we fix a spanning subgraph $H$ of a graph $G$, we can define a chromatic number of $H$ with respect to $G$ and we show that it coincides with the chromatic number of a double covering of $G$ with co-support $H$. We also find a few…
Let $H$ be a real Hilbert space. In this short note, using some of the properties of bounded linear operators with closed range defined on $H$, certain bounds for a specific convex subset of the solution set of infinite linear…
We prove a functional version of the additive kinematic formula as an application of the Hadwiger theorem on convex functions together with a Kubota-type formula for mixed Monge-Amp\`ere measures. As an application, we give a new…
It is shown how the Beneath-and-Beyond algorithm can be used to yield another proof of the equivalence of V- and H-representations of convex polytopes. In this sense this paper serves as the sketch of an introduction to polytope theory with…
A fundamental problem in computer vision is that of inferring the intrinsic, 3D structure of the world from flat, 2D images of that world. Traditional methods for recovering scene properties such as shape, reflectance, or illumination rely…
Similarly to the classic notion in $E^d$, a subset of a positive diameter below $\frac{\pi}{2}$ of a hemisphere of the sphere $S^d$ is called complete, provided adding any extra point increases its diameter. Complete sets are convex bodies…
In this paper, we discuss an interaction between complex geometry and integrable systems. Section 1 reviews the classical results on integrable systems. New examples of integrable systems, which have been discovered, are based on the Lax…
Many star bodies have convex subsets with approximately the same Gaussian measure (of the complement). Inspired by this phenomenon, and in connection with the randomized Dvoretzky theorem for Lorentz spaces, we derive bounds on the…
The study of homological invariants such as Tor, Ext and local cohomology modules constitutes an important direction in commutative algebra. Explicit descriptions of these invariants are notoriously difficult to find and often involve…
We briefly introduce several problems: (1) a generalization of the convex fair partition conjecture, (2) on non-trivial invariants among polyhedrons that can be formed from the same set of face polygons, (3) two questions on assembling…
