Let $K$ be an $n$-dimensional convex body. Define the difference body by $$ K-K= \{x-y \mid x,y \in K \}. $$ We estimate the volume of the section of $K-K$ by a linear subspace $F$ via the maximal volume of sections of $K$ parallel to $F$.…

Let $K$ and $L$ be two convex bodies in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\geq 2$, with $L\subset \text{int}\, K$. We say that $L$ is an equichordal body for $K$ if every chord of $K$ tangent to $L$ has length equal to a given fixed value $\lambda$. J.…

We study the class of (locally) anti-blocking bodies as well as some associated classes of convex bodies. For these bodies, we prove geometric inequalities regarding volumes and mixed volumes, including Godberson's conjecture, near-optimal…

The difference body operator enjoys different characterization results relying on its basic properties such as continuity, SL(n)-covariance, Minkowski valuation or symmetric image. The Rogers-Shephard and the Brunn-Minkowski inequalities…

The Loomis-Whitney inequality states that the volume of a convex body is bounded by the product of volumes of its projections onto orthogonal hyperplanes. We provide an extension of both this fact and a generalization of this fact due to…

The classical Loomis-Whitney inequality and the uniform cover inequality of Bollob\'{a}s and Thomason provide lower bounds for the volume of a compact set in terms of its lower dimensional coordinate projections. We provide further…

For a convex body $K\subset\R^n$ and $i\in\{1,...,n-1\}$, the function assigning to any $i$-dimensional subspace $L$ of $\R^n$, the $i$-dimensional volume of the orthogonal projection of $K$ to $L$, is called the $i$-th projection function…

In this paper we consider the following analog of Bezout inequality for mixed volumes: $$V(P_1,\dots,P_r,\Delta^{n-r})V_n(\Delta)^{r-1}\leq \prod_{i=1}^r V(P_i,\Delta^{n-1})\ \text{ for }2\leq r\leq n.$$ We show that the above inequality is…

Various results are proved giving lower bounds for the $m$th intrinsic volume $V_m(K)$, $m=1,\dots,n-1$, of a compact convex set $K$ in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$, in terms of the $m$th intrinsic volumes of its projections on the coordinate…

In this note, we derive an asymptotically sharp upper bound on the number of lattice points in terms of the volume of centrally symmetric convex bodies. Our main tool is a generalization of a result of Davenport that bounds the number of…

We study the slicing inequality for the surface area instead of volume. This is the question whether there exists a constant $\alpha_n$ depending (or not) on the dimension $n$ so that $$S(K)\leq\alpha_n|K|^{\frac{1}{n}}\max_{\xi\in…
