We begin a systematic study of the region of possible values of the volumes of Minkowski subset sums of a collection of $M$ compact sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$, which we call the Lyusternik region, and make some first steps towards describing…

For a collection of convex bodies $P_1,\dots,P_n \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ containing the origin, a Minkowski complex is given by those subsets whose Minkowski sum does not contain a fixed basepoint. Every simplicial complex can be realized as…

One of the most fruitful results from Minkowski's geometric viewpoint on number theory is his so called 1st Fundamental Theorem. It provides an optimal upper bound for the volume of an o-symmetric convex body whose only interior lattice…

In this paper, we derive the continuity of solutions to the $L_{p}$ torsional Minkowski problem for $p>1$. It is shown that the weak convergence of the $L_{p}$ torsional measure implies the convergence of the sequence of the corresponding…

In the course of classifying generic sparse polynomial systems which are solvable in radicals, Esterov recently showed that the volume of the Minkowski sum $P_1+\dots+P_d$ of $d$-dimensional lattice polytopes is bounded from above by a…

Minkowski's Theorem asserts that every centered measure on the sphere which is not concentrated on a great subsphere is the surface area measure of some convex body, and, moreover, the surface area measure determines a convex body uniquely.…

A Minkowski class is a closed subset of the space of convex bodies in Euclidean space Rn which is closed under Minkowski addition and non-negative dilatations. A convex body in Rn is universal if the expansion of its support function in…

We study convex sets C of finite (but non-zero volume in Hn and En. We show that the intersection of any such set with the ideal boundary of Hn has Minkowski (and thus Hausdorff) dimension of at most (n-1)/2, and this bound is sharp. In the…

We mainly establish a monotonicity property between some special Riemann sums of a convex function $f$ on $[a,b]$, which in particular yields that $\frac{b-a}{n+1}\sum_{i=0}^n f\left(a+i\frac{b-a}{n}\right)$ is decreasing while…

The Minkowski content of a compact set is a fine measure of its geometric scaling. For Lebesgue null sets it measures the decay of the Lebesgue measure of epsilon neighbourhoods of the set. It is well known that self-similar sets,…

The Brunn-Minkowski Theorem asserts that $\mu_d(A+B)^{1/d}\geq \mu_d(A)^{1/d}+\mu_d(B)^{1/d}$ for convex bodies $A,\,B\subseteq \R^d$, where $\mu_d$ denotes the $d$-dimensional Lebesgue measure. It is well-known that equality holds if and…

The classical Minkowski inequality implies that the volume of a bounded convex domain is controlled from above by the integral of the mean curvature of its boundary. In this note, we establish an analogous inequality without the convexity…

In this paper, we prove an extended version of the Minkowski Inequality, holding for any smooth bounded set $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n$, $n\geq 3$. Our proof relies on the discovery of effective monotonicity formulas holding along the…

Let $\{T^z\}$ be an ergodic action of the group $Z^n$ by automorphisms of the probability space $(X,m)$, $\sum_{i}^\infty a_i<\infty$, $a_i>0$. For any sequence $M_k\to +\infty$ there exist $N_k>M_k$ and a function $ f\in L_1(X,m)$ such…

Let $d,k$ be natural numbers and let $\mathcal{L}_1, \dots, \mathcal{L}_k \in \mathrm{GL}_d(\mathbb{Q})$ be linear transformations such that there are no non-trivial subspaces $U, V \subseteq \mathbb{Q}^d$ of the same dimension satisfying…

We prove a collection of reverse Alexandrov-Fenchel type inequalities in anisotropic, Euclidean, spherical, and hyperbolic settings. The unifying principle is that the relevant deficit is controlled by curvature radius data, or equivalently…

We show that for any log-concave measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$, any pair of symmetric convex sets $K$ and $L$, and any $\lambda\in [0,1],$ $$\mu((1-\lambda) K+\lambda L)^{c_n}\geq (1-\lambda) \mu(K)^{c_n}+\lambda\mu(L)^{c_n},$$ where…

In this paper we present new versions of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality for different classes of measures and sets. We show that the inequality \[ \mu(\lambda A + (1-\lambda)B)^{1/n} \geq \lambda \mu(A)^{1/n} +…

The classical theorem of Birkhoff states that the $T^N f(x) = (1/N)\sum_{k=0}^{N-1} f(\sigma^k x)$ converges almost everywhere for $x\in X$ and $f\in L^{1}(X)$, where $\sigma$ is a measure preserving transformation of a probability measure…

We develop a new method to estimate the area, and more generally the intrinsic volumes, of a compact subset $X$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$ from a set $Y$ that is close in the Hausdorff distance. This estimator enjoys a linear rate of convergence as…
