The Alexandrov--Fenchel inequality bounds from below the square of the mixed volume $V(K_1,K_2,K_3,\ldots,K_n)$ of convex bodies $K_1,\ldots,K_n$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ by the product of the mixed volumes $V(K_1,K_1,K_3,\ldots,K_n)$ and…

A question related to some conjectures of Lutwak about the affine quermassintegrals of a convex body $K$ in ${\mathbb R}^n$ asks whether for every convex body $K$ in ${\mathbb R}^n$ and all $1\leqslant k\leqslant n$ $$\Phi_{[k]}(K):={\rm…

Let $K \subset {\mathbb R}^2$ be an $o$-symmetric convex body, and $K^*$ its polar body. Then we have $|K|\cdot |K^*| \ge 8$, with equality if and only if $K$ is a parallelogram. ($| \cdot |$ denotes volume). If $K \subset {\mathbb R}^2$ is…

Given a convex body $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with the barycenter at the origin we consider the corresponding K{\"a}hler-Einstein equation $e^{-\Phi} = \det D^2 \Phi$. If $K$ is a simplex, then the Ricci tensor of the Hessian metric $D^2…

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…

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 $K\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 3$, be a convex body. A point $p$ the interior of $K$ is said to be a Larman point of $K$ if for every hyperplane $\Pi$ passing through $p$ the section $\Pi\cap K$ has a $(n-2)$-plane of symmetry. If $p$…

This paper considers the question of how to succinctly approximate a multidimensional convex body by a polytope. Given a convex body $K$ of unit diameter in Euclidean $d$-dimensional space (where $d$ is a constant) and an error parameter…

Barker and Larman asked the following. Let $K' \subset {\Bbb{R}}^d$ be a convex body, whose interior contains a given convex body $K \subset {\Bbb{R}}^d$, and let, for all supporting hyperplanes $H$ of $K$, the $(d-1)$-volumes of the…

We revisit a standard polygon containment problem: given a convex $k$-gon $P$ and a convex $n$-gon $Q$ in the plane, find a placement of $P$ inside $Q$ under translation and rotation (if it exists), or more generally, find the largest copy…

The approximability of a convex body is a number which measures the difficulty to approximate that body by polytopes. We prove that twice the approximability is equal to the volume entropy for a Hilbert geometry in dimension two end three…

For $p\in (-\infty,0)\cup(0,1)$ and a convex body $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ with the origin in its interior, we construct the family of $p$-affine dual curvature measures $\mathcal{I}_p(K,\cdot)$ with respect to $K$. The affine-invariant…

We derive various sharp upper bounds for the $p$-capacity of a smooth compact set $K$ in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$ and the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$. Firstly, using the inverse mean curvature flow, for the mean convex and…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $f : \partial K \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_+$ a continuous, strictly positive function with $\int\limits_{\partial K} f(x) d \mu_{\partial K}(x) = 1$. We give an upper bound for the approximation…

Let V be a smooth projective 3-fold of general type. Denote by $K^3$, a rational number, the self-intersection of the canonical sheaf of any minimal model of V. One defines $K^3$ as the canonical volume of $V$. Assume $p_g\ge 2$. We show…
