It is shown that every not-necessarily symmetric convex body $K$ in ${\mathbb R}^n$ has an affine image $\tilde{K}$ of $K$ such that the covering numbers of $\tilde{K}$ by growing dilates of the unit Euclidean ball, as well as those of the…

We provide general inequalities that compare the surface area S(K) of a convex body K in ${\mathbb R}^n$ to the minimal, average or maximal surface area of its hyperplane or lower dimensional projections. We discuss the same questions for…

In this work we study upper bounds for the ratio of successive inner and outer radii of a convex body K. This problem was studied by Perel'man and Pukhov and it is a natural generalization of the classical results of Jung and Steinhagen. We…

Let $V$ be a smooth, projective, rationally connected variety, defined over a number field $k$, and let $Z\subset V$ be a closed subset of codimension at least two. In this paper, for certain choices of $V$, we prove that the set of…

This paper introduces a natural definition for the volume of the unit ball in $n$-dimensional normed spaces $\mathbb{R}^n$. This definition preserves the Euclidean relation $P(B)/V(B)=n$ between the perimiter and the volume of the unit ball…

Approximating convex bodies succinctly by convex polytopes is a fundamental problem in discrete geometry. A convex body $K$ of diameter $\mathrm{diam}(K)$ is given in Euclidean $d$-dimensional space, where $d$ is a constant. Given an error…

In this work we present a theorem regarding two convex bodies $K_1, K_2\subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$, $n\geq 3$, and two families of sections of them, given by two families of tangent planes of two spheres $S_i\subset \textrm{int}\textrm{ } K_i$,…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. Let $ d_{n,n-1}(K)$ be the smallest possible density of a non-separable lattice of translates of $K$. In this paper we prove the estimate $d_{2,1}(K)\leq \frac{\pi\sqrt{3}}{8}$ for $K\subset…

In this paper, we prove a rigidity result for three-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with boundary, under the assumption that a free boundary minimal two-disk, which locally maximizes a modified Hawking mass, is embedded in a…

The classical Busemann-Petty problem (1956) asks, whether origin-symmetric convex bodies in $\mathbb {R}^n$ with smaller hyperplane central sections necessarily have smaller volumes. It is known, that the answer is affirmative if $n\le 4$…

We prove new $L_p$ affine isoperimetric inequalities for all $ p \in [-\infty,1)$. We establish, for all $p\neq -n$, a duality formula which shows that $L_p$ affine surface area of a convex body $K$ equals $L_\frac{n^2}{p}$ affine surface…

We show that, for any prime power p^k and any convex body K (i.e., a compact convex set with interior) in Rd, there exists a partition of K into p^k convex sets with equal volume and equal surface area. We derive this result from a more…

We prove some sharp isoperimetric type inequalities for domains with smooth boundary on Riemannian manifolds. For example, using generalized convexity, we show that among all domains with a lower bound $l$ for the cut distance and Ricci…

The Petty projection inequality is a fundamental affine isoperimetric principle for convex sets. It has shaped several directions of research in convex geometry which forged new connections between projection bodies, centroid bodies, and…

In this paper, a new proof of the following result is given: The product of the volumes of an origin symmetric convex bodies $K$ in R^2 and of its polar body is minimal if and only if $K$ is a parallelogram.

Convex geometries are closure systems satisfying the anti-exchange axiom. Every finite convex geometry can be embedded into a convex geometry of finitely many points in an n-dimensional space equipped with a convex hull operator, by the…

For integers $d \geq 2$ and $k \geq d+1$, a $k$-hole in a set $S$ of points in general position in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is a $k$-tuple of points from $S$ in convex position such that the interior of their convex hull does not contain any point…
