We show that the natural "convolution" on the space of smooth, even, translation-invariant convex valuations on a euclidean space $V$, obtained by intertwining the product and the duality transform of S. Alesker, may be expressed in terms…

The algebra of smooth translation-invariant valuations on convex bodies, introduced by S.Alesker in the early 2000s, was in part proved and in part conjectured to satisfy properties formally analogous to those of the cohomology ring of a…

Continuous dually epi-translation invariant valuations on convex functions are characterized in terms of the Fourier-Laplace transform of the associated Goodey-Weil distributions. This description is used to obtain integral representations…

Combinatorial mixed valuations associated to translation-invariant valuations on polytopes are introduced. In contrast to the construction of mixed valuations via polarization, combinatorial mixed valuations reflect and often inherit…

A complete classification is established of Minkowski valuations on lattice polytopes that intertwine the special linear group over the integers and are translation invariant. In the contravariant case, the only such valuations are…

It is shown that Alesker's solution of McMullen's conjecture implies the following stronger version of the conjecture: Every continuous, translation invariant, $k$-homogeneous valuation on convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be approximated…

The Minkowski tensors are valuations on the space of convex bodies in ${\mathbb R}^n$ with values in a space of symmetric tensors, having additional covariance and continuity properties. They are extensions of the intrinsic volumes, and as…

We provide a new proof of Alesker's Irreducibility Theorem. We first introduce a new localization technique for polynomial valuations on convex bodies, which we use to independently prove that smooth and translation invariant valuations are…

A survey on recent developments in (algebraic) integral geometry is given. The main focus lies on algebraic structures on the space of translation invariant valuations and applications in integral geometry.
