We solve several new sharp inequalities relating three quantities amongst the area, perimeter, inradius, circumradius, diameter, and minimal width of planar convex bodies. As a consequence, we narrow the missing gaps in each of the missing…

Nakamura and Tsuji recently obtained an integral inequality involving a Laplace transform of even functions that implies, at the limit, the Blaschke-Santal\'o inequality in its functional form. Inspired by their method, based on the…

We obtain optimal inequalities for the volume of the polar of random sets, generated for instance by the convex hull of independent random vectors in Euclidean space. Extremizers are given by random vectors uniformly distributed in…

The first goal of this paper is to improve some of the results in \cite{BCPR}. Namely, we establish the $L_p$-Brunn-Minkwoski inequality for intrinsic volumes for origin-symmetric convex bodies that are close to the ball in the $C^2$ sense…

In this paper, the isodiametric problem for centrally symmetric convex bodies in the Euclidean d-space R^d containing no interior non-zero point of a lattice L is studied. It is shown that the intersection of a suitable ball with the…

An inequality of Brascamp-Lieb-Luttinger and of Rogers states that among subsets of Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ of specified Lebesgue measures, balls centered at the origin are maximizers of certain functionals defined by…

A characterization of Blaschke addition as a map between origin-symmetric convex bodies is established. This results from a new characterization of Minkowski addition as a map between origin-symmetric zonoids, combined with the use of…

We study Blaschke--Santal{\'o}-type inequalities for $N \ge 2$ sets (functions) and a special class of cost functions. In particular, we prove new results about reduction of the maximization problem for the Blaschke--Santal{\'o}-type…

In 2024, Courtade, Fathi and Mikulincer gave a proof of the symmetrized Talagrand inequality based on stochastic calculus, in the spirit of Borell's proof of the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality. The symmetrized Talagrand inequality can be…

In this work we discuss a conjecture of Viterbo relating the symplectic capacity of a convex body and its volume. The conjecture states that among all 2n-dimensional convex bodies with a given volume the euclidean ball has maximal…

We present proofs of the reverse Santal\'{o} inequality, the existence of M-ellipsoids and the reverse Brunn-Minkowski inequality, using purely convex geometric tools. Our approach is based on properties of the isotropic position.

Let $K\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex body, $n\geq 3$. We say that $K$ satisfies the Barker-Larman condition if there exists a ball $B$ in the interior of $K$ such that for every suppor hyperplane $\Pi$ of $B$, the section $\Pi \cap K$ is…

As a natural analog of Urysohn's inequality in Euclidean space, Gao, Hug, and Schneider showed in 2003 that in spherical or hyperbolic space, the total measure of totally geodesic hypersurfaces meeting a given convex body K is minimized…

We discuss a topological structure on families of convex functions and then apply it to show the existence of extrimizers for the functional Santal\'{o} inequality with respect to polar transform and its reverse.

In 1921 Blichfeldt gave an upper bound on the number of integral points contained in a convex body in terms of the volume of the body. More precisely, he showed that $#(K\cap\Z^n)\leq n! \vol(K)+n$, whenever $K\subset\R^n$ is a convex body…

Busemann's intersection inequality asserts that the only maximizers of the integral $\int_{S^{n-1}} |K\cap\xi^\perp|^n d\xi$ among all convex bodies of a fixed volume in $\mathbb R^n$ are centered ellipsoids. We study this question in the…
