A classification of all continuous GL(n) equivariant Minkowski valuations on convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is established. Together with recent results of F.E. Schuster and the author, this article therefore completes the description of…

An overview of some of the recent developments in the theory of valuations on convex sets and its generalizations to manifolds is given. The exposition is focused towards applications to integral geometry; several of such applications are…

We study translation invariant, real-valued valuations on the class of convex polytopes in Euclidean space and discuss which continuity properties are sufficient for an extension of such valuations to all convex bodies. For this purpose, we…

We provide a new proof of Alesker's Irreducibility Theorem. We first introduce a new localization technique for polynomial valuations on convex bodies, which we use to independently prove that smooth and translation invariant valuations are…

We show that the multivariate generating function of appropriately normalized moments of a measure with homogeneous polynomial density supported on a compact polytope P in R^d is a rational function. Its denominator is the product of linear…

Using standard tools of harmonic analysis, we state and solve the problem of moments for non-negative measures supported on the unit ball of a Sobolev space of multivariate periodic trigonometric functions. We describe outer and inner…

We show that one can enumerate the vertices of the convex hull of integer points in polytopes whose constraint matrices have bounded and nonzero subdeterminants, in time polynomial in the dimension and encoding size of the polytope. This…

Convex or concave sequences of $n$ positive terms, viewed as vectors in $n$-space, constitute convex cones with $2n-2$ and $n$ extreme rays, respectively. Explicit description is given of vectors spanning these extreme rays, as well as of…

This is a review of [Michor, Peter W.: The moment mapping for a unitary representation, Ann. Global Anal. Geometry, 8, No 3(1990), 299--313] including a careful description of calculus in infinite dimensions. For any unitary representation…

Convex polytopes are convex hulls of point sets in the $n$-dimensional space $\E^n$ that generalize 2-dimensional convex polygons and 3-dimensional convex polyhedra. We concentrate on the class of $n$-dimensional polytopes in $\E^n$ called…

We classify all functions which, when applied term by term, leave invariant the sequences of moments of positive measures on the real line. Rather unexpectedly, these functions are built of absolutely monotonic components, or reflections of…

The moment operators of a semispectral measure having the structure of the convolution of a positive measure and a semispectral measure are studied, with paying attention to the natural domains of these unbounded operators. The results are…

We characterize all logarithmic, holomorphic vector-valued modular forms which can be analytically continued to a region strictly larger than the upper half-plane.

We revisit a classical theme of (general or translation invariant) valuations on convex polyhedra. Our setting generalizes the classical one, in a ``dual'' direction to previously considered generalizations: while previous research was…

A new class of continuous valuations on the space of convex functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is introduced. On smooth convex functions, they are defined for $i=0,\dots,n$ by \begin{equation*} u\mapsto \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \zeta(u(x),x,\nabla…
