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…

Let $K$ be a $d$ dimensional convex body with a twice continuously differentiable boundary and everywhere positive Gauss-Kronecker curvature. Denote by $K_n$ the convex hull of $n$ points chosen randomly and independently from $K$ according…

In this note we study the expected value of certain symplectic capacities of randomly rotated centrally symmetric convex bodies in the classical phase space.

Quasirandomness is a general mathematical concept meant to encapsulate several characteristics usually satisfied by random combinatorial objects, and which we regard as describing when a given object 'looks random'. In this survey we…

This technical note analyzes the properties of a random sequence of prolate hyperspheroids with common foci. Each prolate hyperspheroid in the sequence is defined by a sample drawn randomly from the previous volume such that the sample lies…

Let $K$ be a convex compact $GB$-subset of a separable Hilbert space $H$. Denote by $\mathrm{Spec}_k K$ the set $\{(\xi_1(h), \ldots, \xi_k(h))\colon h\in K\}\subset \mathbb{R}^k,$ where $\xi_1, \ldots, \xi_k$ are independent copies of the…

Consider random shadows of a cube and of a regular tetrahedron. Area and perimeter of the former are positively dependent (with correlation 0.915...), whereas area and perimeter of the latter appear to be negatively dependent. This is only…

In a $d$-dimensional convex body $K$, for $n \leq d+1$, random points $X_0, \dots, X_{n-1}$ are chosen according to the uniform distribution in $K$. Their convex hull is a random $(n-1)$-simplex with probability $1$. We denote its…

While there is extensive literature on approximation of convex bodies by inscribed or circumscribed polytopes, much less is known in the case of generally positioned polytopes. Here we give upper and lower bounds for approximation of convex…

In convex geometry, the constructions that assign to a convex body its difference body, projection body, or volume have the following properties: They are (1) invariant under volume-preserving linear changes of coordinates; (2) continuous;…

A random group contains many quasiconvex surface subgroups.

We prove power series expansions for the expectations of the number of vertices and missed area of random $L$-convex polygons in planar convex bodies with sufficiently smooth boundaries. Random $L$-convex polygons arise as the intersection…

In this paper we establish Minkowski inequality and Brunn--Minkowski inequality for $p$-quermassintegral differences of convex bodies. Further, we give Minkowski inequality and Brunn--Minkowski inequality for quermassintegral differences of…

We prove that Mean Value mapping between convex quadrilaterals is injective, affirmatively proving a conjecture stated in M. S. Floater and J. Kosinka, On the injectivity of Wachspress and mean value mappings between convex polygons, Adv.…

It is known that for a convex body K in R^d of volume one, the expected volume of random simplices in K is minimised if K is an ellipsoid, and for d = 2, maximised if K is a triangle. Here we provide corresponding stability estimates.

In this short note, we show that the inradius of a convex body is comparable to its volume divided by its surface area. We also give a simple formula, in terms of its volume and inradius, that is comparable to the volume of its intersection…

The signed volume function for polyhedra can be generalized to a mean volume function for volume elements by averaging over the triangulations of the underlying polyhedron. If we consider these up to translation and scaling, the resulting…

Suppose we choose $N$ points uniformly randomly from a convex body in $d$ dimensions. How large must $N$ be, asymptotically with respect to $d$, so that the convex hull of the points is nearly as large as the convex body itself? It was…

For a fixed $k\in\{1,\dots,d\}$ consider random vectors $X_0,\dots, X_{k}\in\mathbb R^d$ with an arbitrary spherically symmetric joint density function. Let $A$ be any non-singular $d\times d$ matrix. We show that the $k$-dimensional volume…

A translation body of a convex body is the convex hull of two of its translates intersecting each other. In the 1950s, Rogers and Shephard found the extremal values, over the family of $n$-dimensional convex bodies, of the maximal volume of…
