A classification of SL$(n)$ contravariant Minkowski valuations on convex functions and a characterization of the projection body operator are established. The associated LYZ measure is characterized. In addition, a new SL$(n)$ covariant…

We consider the family of convex bodies obtained from an origin symmetric convex body $K$ by multiplication with diagonal matrices, by forming Minkowski sums of the transformed sets, and by taking limits in the Hausdorff metric. Support…

We prove the Blaschke-Santal\'o inequality restricted to $n$-gons: the extremal polygons are the affine regular $n$-gons. If either the John or the L\"owner ellipse of a planar $o$-symmetric convex body $K$ is the unit circle about $o$,…

Interpolating between the classic notions of intersection and polar centroid bodies, (real) $L_p$-intersection bodies, for $-1<p<1$, play an important role in the dual $L_p$-Brunn--Minkowski theory. Inspired by the recent construction of…

The Brunn-Minkowski Theorem asserts that $\mu_d(A+B)^{1/d}\geq \mu_d(A)^{1/d}+\mu_d(B)^{1/d}$ for convex bodies $A,\,B\subseteq \R^d$, where $\mu_d$ denotes the $d$-dimensional Lebesgue measure. It is well-known that equality holds if and…

Zonotopes are studied from the point of view of central symmetry and how volumes of facets and the angles between them determine a zonotope uniquely. New proofs are given for theorems of Shephard and McMullen characterizing a zonotope by…

The objective of this paper is to present two types of results on Minkowski sums of convex polytopes. The first is about a special class of polytopes we call perfectly centered and the combinatorial properties of the Minkowski sum with…

We establish an additive kinematic formula for the functional Minkowski vectors using mixed Monge-Amp\`ere measures. These vectors, recently introduced and characterized by the author and F. Mussnig, form a natural family of vector-valued…

The $L^p$-Brunn-Minkowski theory for $p\geq 1$, proposed by Firey and developed by Lutwak in the 90's, replaces the Minkowski addition of convex sets by its $L^p$ counterpart, in which the support functions are added in $L^p$-norm.…

The Blaschke conjecture claims that every compact Riemannian manifold whose injectivity radius equals its diameter is, up to constant rescaling, a compact rank one symmetric space. We summarize the intuition behind this problem, the proof…

We introduce Blaschke addition and homothety operations on log-concave functions and study their affine-geometric consequences. Our starting point is the first variation formula of Falah and Rotem (Calc. Var. and PDE, 2026), which…

Let $V\subset\R^m$ be a centrally symmetric convex body and let $V^*\subset\R^m$ be its polar. We prove limit relations between the sharp constants in the multivariate Markov-Bernstein-Nikolskii type inequalities for algebraic polynomials…

We provide a study of Blaschke-Santal\'o diagrams for the inradius, diameter, and circumradius, measured with respect to different gauges. This contrasts previous works on those diagrams, which are all considered for euclidean measure. By…

We prove that the log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality (log-BMI) for the Lebesque measure in dimension $n$ would imply the log-BMI and, therefore, the B-conjecture for any log-concave density in dimension $n$. As a consequence, we prove the…
