The main goal of this paper is to present a series of inequalities connecting the surface area measure of a convex body and surface area measure of its projections and sections. We present a solution of a question from S. Campi, P.…

We consider hyperbolic links that admit alternating projections on surfaces in compact, irreducible 3-manifolds. We show that, under some mild hypotheses, the volume of the complement of such a link is bounded below in terms of a Kauffman…

We give the sharp lower bound of the volume product of three dimensional convex bodies which are invariant under two kinds of discrete subgroups of $O(3)$ of order four. We also characterize the convex bodies with the minimal volume product…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\Bbb R^{d}$ and $K_{t}$ its floating bodies. There is a polytope with at most $n$ vertices that satisfies $$ K_{t} \subset P_{n} \subset K $$ where $$ n \leq e^{16d} \frac{vol_{d}(K \setminus K_{t})}{t\…

In 1921 Blichfeldt gave an upper bound on the number of integral points contained in a convex body in terms of the volume of the body. More precisely, he showed that $#(K\cap\Z^n)\leq n! \vol(K)+n$, whenever $K\subset\R^n$ is a convex body…

In this paper we will provide a new proof of the fact that for any convex body $K\subseteq\R^n$ $$ \frac{{{2n}\choose{n}}}{n^n}n\int_0^\infty r^{n-1}\vol_n(K\cap(re_n+K))dr\leq\frac{(\vol_n(K))^{n+1}}{(\vol_{n-1}(P_{e_n^\perp}(K)))^n}, $$…

The lower dimensional Busemann-Petty problem asks, whether n-dimensional centrally symmetric convex bodies with smaller i-dimensional central sections necessarily have smaller volumes. The paper contains a complete solution to the problem…

A convex body K has associated with it a unique circumscribed ellipsoid CE(K) with minimum volume, and a unique inscribed ellipsoid IE(K) with maximum volume. We first give a unified, modern exposition of the basic theory of these extremal…

The lower dimensional Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin symmetric convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smaller volume of all $k$-dimensional sections necessarily have smaller volume. As proved by Bourgain and Zhang, the answer to…

This paper deals with the question of how to calculate the volume of a body in the three-dimensional Euclidean space when it is cut into slices perpendicular to a given curve. The answer is provided by a formula that can be considered as a…

In this paper, we introduce an $m$-fold illumination number $I^m(K)$ of a convex body $K$ in Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^d$, which is the smallest number of directions required to $m$-fold illuminate $K$, i.e., each point on the boundary of…

A classical open problem in combinatorial geometry is to obtain tight asymptotic bounds on the maximum number of k-level vertices in an arrangement of n hyperplanes in d dimensions (vertices with exactly k of the hyperplanes passing below…

A $\lambda$-convex body in a three-dimensional space form $M^3(c)$ of constant curvature $c$ is a compact convex set $K$ whose boundary $\partial K$ has normal curvatures bounded below by a constant $\lambda>0$ (in a weak sense). Within…

In this article we construct many examples of properly convex irreducible domains divided by Zariski dense relatively hyperbolic groups in every dimension at least 3. This answers a question of Benoist. Relative hyperbolicity and non-strict…

We show that the infimum of the dual volume of the convex core of a convex co-compact hyperbolic $3$-manifold with incompressible boundary coincides with the infimum of the Riemannian volume of its convex core, as we vary the geometry by…

In this work we prove that if for a pair of convex bodies $K_1, K_2 \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $n \geq 3$, there exists a hyperplane $H$ and two distinct points $p_1$ and $p_2$ in $\mathbb{R}^n \setminus H$ such that for every $(n-2)$-plane $M…

This paper considers affine analogues of the isoperimetric inequality in the sense of piecewise linear topology. Given a closed polygon P embedded in R^d having n edges, we give upper and lower bounds for the minimal number of triangles…

Let $K$ and $L$ be two convex bodies in ${\mathbb R^5}$ with countably many diameters, such that their projections onto all $4$ dimensional subspaces containing one fixed diameter are directly congruent. We show that if these projections…
