The Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality, a far-reaching generalization of the classical isoperimetric inequality to arbitrary mixed volumes, lies at the heart of convex geometry. The characterization of its extremal bodies is a long-standing open…

Mixed volumes, which are the polarization of volume with respect to the Minkowski addition, are fundamental objects in convexity. In this note we announce the construction of mixed integrals, which are functional analogs of mixed volumes.…

We study the Discrete Gauss Image Problem, a generalization of Aleksandrov's classical question on the existence of convex bodies with prescribed integral curvature. We introduce a combinatorial problem called the Assignment Problem and…

In this article we discuss classical theorems from Convex Geometry in the context of topological drawings and beyond. In a simple topological drawing of the complete graph $K_n$, any two edges share at most one point: either a common vertex…

In his book on Convex Polyhedra (section 7.2), A.D. Aleksandrov raised a general question of finding variational statements and proofs of existence of polytopes with given geometric data. The first goal of this paper is to give a…

Generalized probabilistic theories (GPT) provide a general framework that includes classical and quantum theories. It is described by a cone $C$ and its dual $C^*$. We show that whether some one-way communication complexity problems can be…

We extend the concept of Krylov complexity to include general unitary evolutions involving multiple generators. This generalization enables us to formulate a framework for generalized Krylov complexity, which serves as a measure of the…

We generalize several classical theorems in extremal combinatorics by replacing a global constraint with an inequality which holds for all objects in a given class. In particular we obtain generalizations of Tur\'an's theorem, the…
