We use symplectic techniques to obtain partial results on Mahler's conjecture about the product of the volume of a convex body and the volume of its polar. We confirm the conjecture for hyperplane sections or projections of $\ell_p$-balls…

Several years ago the authors started looking at some problems of convex geometry from a more general point of view, replacing volume by an arbitrary measure. This approach led to new general properties of the Radon transform on convex…

In this note we give a short proof of Godbersen's conjecture for the class of locally anti-blocking bodies. We show that all equality cases amongst locally anti-blocking bodies are for simplices, further supporting the conjecture. The proof…

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…

We generalize the hyperplane inequality in dimensions up to 4 to the setting of arbitrary measures in place of the volume. To prove this generalization we establish stability in the affirmative part of the solution to the Busemann-Petty…

Let K be a d-dimensional convex body, and let $K^{(n)}$ be the intersection of n halfspaces containing $K$ whose bounding hyperplanes are independent and identically distributed. Under suitable distributional assumptions, we prove an…

In this paper, we prove Mahler's conjecture concerning the volume product of centrally symmetric convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ in the case where $n=3$. Furthermore, we determine the equality condition.

The section volume function $A_K(\xi,t), \ \xi \in \mathbb R^n, \ t \in \mathbb R,$ of a body $K \subset \mathbb R^n$ evaluates the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of the cross-section $K$ by the hyperplane $\{ x \cdot \xi=t \}.$ We are…

Let K(X) be the collection of all non-zero finite dimensional subspaces of rational functions on an n-dimensional irreducible variety X. For any n-tuple L_1,..., L_n in K(X), we define an intersection index [L_1,..., L_n] as the number of…

The volume conjecture relates the quantum invariant and the hyperbolic geometry. Bonahon-Wong-Yang introduced a new version of the volume conjecture by using the intertwiners between two isomorphic irreducible representations of the skein…

In his paper "On the Schlafli differential equality", J. Milnor conjectured that the volume of n-dimensional hyperbolic and spherical simplices, as a function of the dihedral angles, extends continuously to the closure of the space of…

It is conjectured since long that for any convex body $K \in \mathbb{R}^n$ there exists a point in the interior of $K$ which belongs to at least $2n$ normals from different points on the boundary of $K$. The conjecture is known to be true…

We consider two well-known problems: upper bounding the volume of lower dimensional ellipsoids contained in convex bodies given their John ellipsoid, and lower bounding the volume of ellipsoids containing projections of convex bodies given…

For every convex body $K \subset \mathbb R^n$ and $\delta \in (0,1)$, the $\delta$-convolution body of $K$ is the set of $x \in \mathbb R^n$ for which $\left|K \cap (K+x)\right|_n \geq \delta \left|K\right|_n$. We show that for $n=2$ and…

Many star bodies have convex subsets with approximately the same Gaussian measure (of the complement). Inspired by this phenomenon, and in connection with the randomized Dvoretzky theorem for Lorentz spaces, we derive bounds on the…

We consider the convex hull of a finite sample of i.i.d. points uniformly distributed in a convex body in $\R^d$, $d\geq 2$. We prove an exponential deviation inequality, which leads to rate optimal upper bounds on all the moments of the…

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…

A classical inequality by Gr\"unbaum provides a sharp lower bound for the ratio $\mathrm{vol}(K^{-})/\mathrm{vol}(K)$, where $K^{-}$ denotes the intersection of a convex body with non-empty interior $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ with a halfspace…

We prove a new inequality relating volume to length of closed geodesics on area minimizers for generic metrics on the complex projective plane. We exploit recent regularity results for area minimizers by Moore and White, and the…

This article belongs to the area of geometric tomography, which is the study of geometric properties of solids based on data about their sections and projections. We describe a new direction in geometric tomography where different…
