The simplex was conjectured to be the extremal convex body for the two following "problems of asymmetry":\\ P1) What is the minimal possible value of the quantity $\max_{K'} |K'|/|K|$? Here, $K'$ ranges over all symmetric convex bodies…

Barthe proved that the regular simplex maximizes the mean width of convex bodies whose John ellipsoid (maximal volume ellipsoid contained in the body) is the Euclidean unit ball; or equivalently, the regular simplex maximizes the…

In this short note, we establish Blaschke--Santal\'o-type inequalities for $r$-ball bodies. Building on these inequalities, we somewhat further extend earlier results on analogues of the Kneser--Poulsen conjecture concerning intersections…

Let ${\mathbb E}^d$ denote the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. The $r$-ball body generated by a given set in ${\mathbb E}^d$ is the intersection of balls of radius $r$ centered at the points of the given set. In this paper we prove the…

Nakamura and Tsuji (2024) recently investigated a many-function generalization of the functional Blaschke--Santal\'o inequality, which they refer to as a generalized Legendre duality relation. They showed that, among the class of all even…

The isodiametric inequality states that the Euclidean ball maximizes the volume among all convex bodies of a given diameter. We are motivated by a conjecture of Makai Jr.~on the reverse question: Every convex body has a linear image whose…

R. Schwartz's inequality provides an upper bound for the Schwarzian derivative of a parameterization of a circle in the complex plane and on the potential of Hill's equation with coexisting periodic solutions. We prove a discrete version of…

We prove that the functional volume product for even functions is monotone increasing along the Fokker--Planck heat flow. This in particular yields a new proof of the functional Blaschke--Santal\'{o} inequality by K. Ball and also…

We study the asymptotic behavior of smooth, origin-symmetric, strictly convex bodies under the centro-affine normal flows. By means of a stability version of the Blaschke-Santal\'{o} inequality, we obtain regularity of the solutions…

We present a complete 3-dimensional Blaschke-Santal\'o diagram for planar convex bodies with respect to the four classical magnitudes inner and outer radius, diameter and (minimal) width in euclidean spaces.

We explore an interplay between an analysis of diffusion flows such as Ornstein--Uhlenbeck flow and Fokker--Planck flow and inequalities from convex geometry regarding the volume product. More precisely, we introduce new types of…

A new intrinsic volume metric is introduced for the class of convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$. As an application, an inequality is proved for the asymptotic best approximation of the Euclidean unit ball by arbitrarily positioned polytopes…

Using previous results about shadow systems and Steiner symmetrization, we prove that the local maximizers of the volume product of convex bodies are actually the global maximizers, that is: ellipsoids.

The width of a closed convex subset of Euclidean space is the distance between two parallel supporting planes. The Blaschke-Lebesgue problem consists of minimizing the volume in the class of convex sets of fixed constant width and is still…

In recent work with Berndtsson and Rubinstein, a notion of $L^p$-polarity was introduced, with classical polarity recovered in the limit $p\to\infty$, and $L^1$-polarity closely related to Bergman kernels of tube domains. A Santal\'o…
