We determine those norms on B(H) whose unit ball is C*-convex. We call them M-norms and show that the class of M-norms less than a given norm enjoys a maximum element. These minimum and maximum elements will be determined in some cases.…
Let $p$ be a positive number. Consider probability measure $\gamma_p$ with density $\varphi_p(y)=c_{n,p}e^{-\frac{|y|^p}{p}}$. We show that the maximal surface area of a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with respect to $\gamma_p$ is…
We prove bounds for the covering numbers of classes of convex functions and convex sets in Euclidean space. Previous results require the underlying convex functions or sets to be uniformly bounded. We relax this assumption and replace it…
A function of a matrix is polyconvex when it can be expressed as a convex function of the matrix minors. Polyconvexity is a regularity condition ensuring existence of minimizers in nonlinear elasticity and, more broadly, in vectorial…
We study the smallest intersecting and enclosing ball problems in Euclidean spaces for input objects that are compact and convex. They link and unify many problems in computational geometry and machine learning. We show that both problems…
We establish a general criterion for the existence of convex sets of fixed shape as, e.g., balls of a given radius, of maximal probability on Banach spaces. We also provide counterexamples showing that their existence my fail even in some…
In this paper we establish a gap theorem for the complex geometry of smoothly bounded convex domains which informally says that if the complex geometry near the boundary is close to the complex geometry of the unit ball, then the domain…
Large deviation estimates are by now a standard tool inthe Asymptotic Convex Geometry, contrary to small deviationresults. In this note we present a novel application of a smalldeviations inequality to a problem related to the diameters of…
We obtain a sufficient condition for the convexity of quaternionic numerical range for complex matrices in terms of its complex numerical range. It is also shown that the Bild coincides with complex numerical range for real matrices. From…
We show that smooth and strongly convex bodies in the symplectic $\mathbb R^{2n}$ for $n>1$ with all characteristics planar, or all outer billiard trajectories planar are affine symplectic images of balls.
Approximating convex bodies is a fundamental problem in geometry. Given a convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for a fixed dimension $d$, the objective is to minimize the number of facets of an approximating polytope for a given Hausdorff…
We observe that the $k$-dimensional width of an $n$-ball in a space form is given by the area of an equatorial $k$-ball. We also investigate related lower bounds for the area of a free boundary minimal submanifold in a space form ball.
In the present paper, conditions under which the images of uniformly convex sets through $C^{1,1}$ regular mappings between Banach spaces remain convex are established. These conditions are expressed by a certain quantitative relation…
The purpose of this paper is finding the essential attributes underlying the convexity theorems for momentum maps. It is shown that they are of topological nature; more specifically, we show that convexity follows if the map is open onto…
Building on results of Arthur and Mok, we extend to (finite volume) complex and quaternionic hyperbolic manifolds the results of arXiv:1004.1085. For the spherical spectrum our results are optimal. Finally, as an application we prove a…
We continue to investigate cases when the Repov\v{s}-Semenov splitting problem for selections has an affirmative solution for continuous set-valued mappings. We consider the situation in infinite-dimensional uniformly convex Banach spaces.…
Consider a sum of convex functions, where the only information known about each individual summand is the location of a minimizer. In this work, we give an exact characterization of the set of possible minimizers of the sum. Our results…
The paper explores further the computation of the quaternionic numerical range of a complex matrix. We prove a modified version of a conjecture by So and Tompson. Specifically, we show that the shape of the quaternionic numerical range for…
We approximate boundaries of convex polytopes by smooth hypersurfaces $Y=Y_\varepsilon$ with {\it positive mean curvatures} and, by using basic geometric relations between the scalar curvatures of Riemannin manifolds and the mean curvatures…
We prove that the highest density of non-overlapping translates of a given centrally symmetric convex domain relative to its outer parallel domain of given outer radius is attained by a lattice packing in the Euclidean plane. This…
