Given a convex body $K\subset \mathbb R^2$ we say that a circle $\Omega\subset \text{int} \ K$ is an equipotential circle if every tangent line of $\Omega$ cuts a chord $AB$ in $K$ such that for the contact point $P=\Omega\cap AB$ it holds…

Given a positive function $F$ on $S^n$ which satisfies a convexity condition, we define the $r$-th anisotropic mean curvature function $H^F_r$ for hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ which is a generalization of the usual $r$-th mean…

For every $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and every field $K$, let $A(n,K)$ be the vector space of the antisymmetric $(n \times n)$-matrices over $K$. We say that an affine subspace $S$ of $A(n,K)$ has constant rank $r$ if every matrix of $S$ has rank…

Given an affine variety X and a finite dimensional vector space of regular functions L on X, we associate a convex body to (X, L) such that its volume is responsible for the number of solutions of a generic system of functions from L. This…

Let K\subset R^N be any convex body containing the origin. A measurable set G\subset R^N with finite and positive Lebesgue measure is said to be K-dense if, for any fixed r>0, the measure of G\cap (x+r K) is constant when x varies on the…

In this paper we denote a type of affine homogeneous real hypersurface of $\mathbb{C}^3$ and present a classification of homogeneous surfaces of the type (1/2,0). The result was obtained by reducing the classification problem mentioned…

Given two symmetric convex bodies $L \subseteq K \subseteq \R^n$ with $L$ strictly convex, we prove that there exist at least $n$ hyperplanes $H$ tangent to $L$, such that the center of mass of $H \cap K$ belongs to $\partial L$. The…

A Riemann-Cartan manifold is a Riemannian manifold endowed with an affine connection which is compatible with the metric tensor. This affine connection is not necessarily torsion free. Under the assumption that the manifold is a homogeneous…

We determine those maps between affine or projective spaces that are linear in the abstract sense of transforming collinear points into collinear points and whose restriction to any line is constant or injective. Our results are extensions…

The notion of center of mass, which is very useful in kinematics, proves to be very handy in geometry (see [1]-[2]). Countless applications of center of mass to geometry go back to Archimedes. Unfortunately, the center of mass cannot be…

We show that for every morphism f between nonsingular hypersurfaces of dimension at least 3 and of general type in projective space, there is an everywhere defined endomorphism F of projective space that restricts to f. As a corollary, we…

Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional smooth oriented complete embedded minimal hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with Euclidean volume growth. We show that if the image under the Gauss map of $M$ avoids some neighborhood of a half-equator, then…

The general theme of this note is illustrated by the following theorem: Theorem 1. Suppose $K$ is a compact set in the complex plane and 0 belongs to the boundary $\partial K$. Let ${\cal A}(K)$ denote the space of all functions $f$ on $K$…

In this paper, we explicitly construct the Calabi composition of multiple affine hyperspheres possibly including some points viewing as 0-dimensional hypersheres. Then we compute all the basic affine invariants of the composed affine…

In this paper we consider the Balmu\c{s}-Montaldo-Oniciuc's conjecture in the case of hemispheres. We prove that a compact non-minimal biharmonic hypersurface in a hemisphere of $S^{n+1}$ must be the small hypersphere…

For a given convex body K in $R^d$, a random polytope $K^{(n)}$ is defined (essentially) as the intersection of $n$ independent closed halfspaces containing $K$ and having an isotropic and (in a specified sense) uniform distribution. We…

Associated to any affine space A endowed with a metric structure of arbitrary signature we consider the space of affine functionals operating on the space of quadratic functions of A. On this functional space we characterize a symmetric…

Given 2 points of a smooth hypersurface, their mid-hyperplane is the hyperplane passing through their mid-point and the intersection of their tangent spaces. In this paper we study the envelope of these mid-hyperplanes (EMH) at pairs whose…

It is proved that every convex body in the plane has a point such that the union of the body and its image under reflection in the point is convex. If the body is not centrally symmetric, then it has, in fact, three affinely independent…

We study a variational problem for piecewise-smooth hypersurfaces in the (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space with an anisotropic energy. An anisotropic energy is the integral of an energy density that depends on the normal at each point over…
