Convexity and convex functions play an important role in theoretical physics. To initiate a study of the possible uses of convex functions in General Relativity, we discuss the consequences of a spacetime $(M,g_{\mu \nu})$ or an initial…

The Minkowski problem in convex geometry concerns showing that a given Borel measure on the unit sphere is, up to perhaps a constant, some type of surface area measure of a convex body. Two types of Minkowski problems in particular are an…

We study the surface area of an ellipsoid in n-dimensional Euclidean space as the function of the lengths of their major semi-axes. We write down an explicit formula as an integral over the unit sphere, use the formula to derive convexity…

We introduce new flatness coefficients, which we call $\iota$-numbers, for Ahlfors $k$-regular sets in metric spaces ($k\in \mathbb{N}$). Using these coefficients for $k=1$, we characterize uniform $1$-rectifiability in rather general…

We give an alternative proof of a recent result of Klartag on the existence of almost subgaussian linear functionals on convex bodies. If $K$ is a convex body in ${\mathbb R}^n$ with volume one and center of mass at the origin, there exists…

We propose an approach which, by combining insights from Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG), Topos theory, Non-commutative Geometry \`a la Connes, and spacetime relationalism, provides fertile ground for the search of an adequate spacetime picture…

We quickly review and make some comments on the concept of convexity in metric spaces due to Takahashi. Then we introduce a concept of convex structure based convexity to functions on these spaces and refer to it as $W-$convexity.…

Space-time multivectors in Clifford algebra (space-time algebra) and their application to nonlinear electrodynamics are considered. Functional product and infinitesimal operators for translation and rotation groups are introduced, where…

It is shown how new integral-geometric formulae can be obtained from the existing formulae of Crofton type. In particular, for classical Crofton formulae in which the answer depends on the Riemannian volume, we obtain generalizations in…

We study the estimation of quadratic Sobolev-type integral functionals of an unknown density on the unit sphere. The functional is defined through fractional powers of the Laplace--Beltrami operator and provides a global measure of…
