It is known that the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients can be calculated using a certain class of measures, and these measures have a rigidity property when the coefficient is equal to 1. Rigid measures decompose uniquely into sums of…
Many problems of theoretical and practical interest involve finding a convex or concave function. For instance, optimization problems such as finding the projection on the convex functions in $H^k(\Omega)$, or some problems in economics. In…
We study a disc formula for the relative extremal function for Borel sets in complex manifolds.
We give a variety of uniqueness results for minimal ellipsoids circumscribing and maximal ellipsoids inscribed into a convex body. Uniqueness follows from a convexity or concavity criterion on the function used to measure the size of the…
We establish plurisubharmonicity of envelopes of certain classical disc functionals on locally irreducible complex spaces, thereby generalizing the corresponding results for complex manifolds. We also find new formulae expressing the…
In this paper, we investigate the extremal functions for anisotropic Trudinger-Moser inequalities. Our method uses convex symmetrization, the continuity of the supremum function, together with the relation between the supremums of the…
Tensorial curvature measures are tensor-valued generalizations of the curvature measures of convex bodies. We prove a complete set of kinematic formulae for such tensorial curvature measures on convex bodies and for their (nonsmooth)…
We introduce extremal affine surface areas in a functional setting. We show their main properties. Among them are linear invariance, isoperimetric inequalities and monotonicity properties. We establish a new duality formula, which shows…

A famous result of Siciak is how the Siciak-Zakharyuta functions, sometimes called global extremal functions or pluricomplex Green functions with a pole at infinity, of two sets relate to the Siciak-Zakharyuta function of their cartesian…
We survey results concerning sharp estimates on volumes of sections and projections of certain convex bodies, mainly $\ell_p$ balls, by and onto lower dimensional subspaces. This subject emerged from geometry of numbers several decades ago…
The paper is centered around a new proof of the infinitesimal rigidity of smooth closed surfaces with everywhere positive Gauss curvature. We use a reformulation that replaces deformation of an embedding by deformation of the metric inside…
We propose a convex-optimization-based framework for computation of invariant measures of polynomial dynamical systems and Markov processes, in discrete and continuous time. The set of all invariant measures is characterized as the feasible…
The classical Alexandrov estimate controls the oscillation of a convex function by the mass of its associated Monge-Amp\`ere measure and yields, for two convex functions of $n$ variables with the same boundary values, a sup-norm bound with…
Given a convex body K in R^n and p in R, we introduce and study the extremal inner and outer affine surface areas IS_p(K) = sup_{K'\subseteq K} (as_p(K') ) and os_p(K)=inf_{K'\supseteq K} (as_p(K') ), where as_p(K') denotes the L_p-affine…
We show that for any uniformly elliptic fully nonlinear second-order equation with bounded measurable "coefficients" and bounded "free" term one can find an approximating equation which has a unique continuous and having the second…
The purpose of this paper is to study the reflections of a convex body. In particular, we are interested in orthogonal reflections of its sections that can be extended to reflections of the whole body. For this reason, we need to study the…
This article is a survey of recent results on slicing inequalities for convex bodies. The focus is on the setting of arbitrary measures in place of volume.
We investigate the properties of a modulus of a foliation on a Riemannian manifold. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an extremal function and state some of its properties. We obtain the integral formula…
We investigate the relationship between rigid motions and relative equilibria in the N-body problem on the two-dimensional sphere, S2. We prove that any rigid motion of the N-body system on S2 must be a relative equilibrium. Our approach…
