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 introduce the notion of generalized function taking values in a smooth manifold into the setting of full Colombeau algebras. After deriving a number of characterization results we also introduce a corresponding concept of generalized…
Multiplicative convolution $\mu \ast \nu$ of two finite signed measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and a related product $\mu \circledast \nu$ on the sphere $S^{n-1}$ are studied. For fixed $\mu$ the injectivity in $\nu$ of both…
The free metaplectic transformation (FMT) is widely used in many fields such as filter design, pattern recognition, image processing and optics. In order to obtain a more concise and intuitive convolution form, this paper studies two kinds…
A brief introduction to geometric valuation theory is given. The focus is on classification results for valuations on convex bodies and on function spaces.
Many geometric learning problems require invariants on heterogeneous product spaces, i.e., products of distinct spaces carrying different group actions, where standard techniques do not directly apply. We show that, when a group $G$ acts…
Let G be a Lie group and Q a quiver with relations. In this paper, we define G-valued representations of Q which directly generalize G-valued representations of finitely generated groups. Although as G-spaces, the G-valued quiver…
Extension problems for polynomial valuations on different cones of convex functions are investigated. It is shown that for the classes of functions under consideration, the extension problem reduces to a simple geometric obstruction on the…
Valuations constitute a class of functionals on convex bodies which include the Euler-characteristic, the surface area, the Lebesgue-measure, and many more classical functionals. Curvature measures may be regarded as "localised`` versions…
We study real-valued, continuous and translation invariant valuations defined on the space of quasi-concave functions of N variables. In particular, we prove a homogeneous decomposition theorem of McMullen type, and we find a representation…
We present elements of a theory of translation-invariant integration on finite dimensional vector spaces and on GL_n over a valuation field with local field as residue field. We then discuss the case of an arbitrary algebraic group. This…
We review the properties of transversality of distributions with respect to submersions. This allows us to construct a convolution product for a large class of distributions on Lie groupoids. We get a unital involutive algebra…
In this paper we introduce and study a topological abelian group of convex bodies, analogous to the scissors congruence group and McMullen's polytope algebra, with the universal property that continuous valuations on convex bodies…
We study generalized group actions on differentiable manifolds in the Colombeau framework, extending previous work on flows of generalized vector fields and symmetry group analysis of generalized solutions. As an application, we analyze…
In continuation of Part I, we study translative integral formulas for certain translation invariant functionals, which are defined on general convex bodies. Again, we consider local extensions and use these to show that the translative…
When smoothing a function $f$ via convolution with some kernel, it is often desirable to adapt the amount of smoothing locally to the variation of $f$. For this purpose, the constant smoothing coefficient of regular convolutions needs to be…
Alesker has proved the existence of a remarkable isomorphism of the space of translation-invariant smooth valuations that has the same functorial properties as the classical Fourier transform. In this paper, we show how to directly describe…
All simple translation-invariant valuations on polytopes are classified. As a direct consequence the well-known conditions for translative-equidecomposability are recovered. Furthermore, a simplified proof of the classification of…
Generalised geometry studies structures on a d-dimensional manifold with a metric and 2-form gauge field on which there is a natural action of the group SO(d,d). This is generalised to d-dimensional manifolds with a metric and 3-form gauge…
It is shown that Alesker's solution of McMullen's conjecture implies the following stronger version of the conjecture: Every continuous, translation invariant, $k$-homogeneous valuation on convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be approximated…
