We study the $l_p$ Hausdorff distance from convex hull of a compact set $A\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, which is the distance \begin{equation*} d^{(l_p)}(A):=\sup_{x\in conv(A)}\inf_{a\in A}\|x-a\|_p, \end{equation*} where $\|\cdot\|_p$ is the…

In this paper, we investigate the combinatorial structure and asymptotic distribution of the solution set of the equation $\sigma(n+1) = k\sigma(n)$ for a given integer $k>1$. From a combinatorial perspective, the solutions to this equation…

For a fixed $k\in\{1,\dots,d\}$ consider random vectors $X_0,\dots, X_{k}\in\mathbb R^d$ with an arbitrary spherically symmetric joint density function. Let $A$ be any non-singular $d\times d$ matrix. We show that the $k$-dimensional volume…

Let $U$ be a unitary operator acting on the Hilbert space $H$, $\a:\{1,..., 2k\}\mapsto\{1,..., k\}$ a pair--partition, and finally $A_{1},...,A_{2k-1}\in B(H)$. We show that the ergodic average $$…

We consider the problem of lower bounding a generalized Minkowski measure of subsets of a convex body with a log-concave probability measure, conditioned on the set size. A bound is given in terms of diameter and set size, which is sharp…

We construct a sequence $\{\Sigma_\ell\}_{\ell=1}^\infty$ of closed, axially symmetric surfaces $\Sigma_\ell\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ that converges to the unit sphere in $W^{2,p}\cap C^1$ for every $p\in[1,\infty)$ and such that, for every…

In a $d$-dimensional convex body $K$, for $n \leq d+1$, random points $X_0, \dots, X_{n-1}$ are chosen according to the uniform distribution in $K$. Their convex hull is a random $(n-1)$-simplex with probability $1$. We denote its…

The Minkowski sum and Minkowski product can be considered as the addition and multiplication of subsets of $\mathbb{R}$. If we consider a compact subset $K\subseteq[0,1]$ and a power series $f$ which is absolutely convergent on $[0,1]$,…

Let $(X, \mathcal{A},\mu)$ be a probability space and let $T$ be a contraction on $L^2(\mu)$. We provide suitable conditions over sequences $(w_k)$, $(u_k)$ and $(A_k)$ in such a way that the weighted ergodic limit…

Let E be a separable (or the dual of a separable) symmetric function space, let M be a semifinite von Neumann algebra and let E(M) be the associated noncommutative function space. Let $(\epsilon_k)_k$ be a Rademacher sequence, on some…

We give asymptotic estimates for the number of non-overlapping homothetic copies of some centrally symmetric oval $B$ which have a common point with a 2-dimensional domain $F$ having rectifiable boundary, extending previous work of the…

We derive a number of sharp upper bounds for the deficit in the Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality using a weighted Minkowski integral formula and an integral formula for the deficit in Jensen's inequality. Our estimates yield results under…

The general dual volume $\dveV(K)$ and the general dual Orlicz curvature measure $\deV(K, \cdot)$ were recently introduced for functions $G: (0, \infty)\times \sphere\rightarrow (0, \infty)$ and convex bodies $K$ in $\R^n$ containing the…

Let $C$ be a closed convex cone in ${\mathbb R}^n$, pointed and with interior points. We consider sets of the form $A=C\setminus A^\bullet$, where $A^\bullet\subset C$ is a closed convex set. If $A$ has finite volume (Lebesgue measure),…

Let $f$ be a smooth real function with strictly monotone first $k$ derivatives. We show that for a finite set $A$, with $|A+A|\leq K|A|$, $|2^kf(A)-(2^k-1)f(A)|\gg_k |A|^{k+1-o(1)}/K^{O_k(1)}$. We deduce several new sum-product type…

In a seminal paper "Volumen und Oberfl\"ache" (1903), Minkowski introduced the basic notion of mixed volumes and the corresponding inequalities that lie at the heart of convex geometry. The fundamental importance of characterizing the…

Let $T$ be the Koopman operator of a measure preserving transformation $\theta$ of a probability space $(X,\Sigma,\mu)$. We study the convergence properties of the averages $M_nf:=\frac1n\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}T^kf$ when $f \in L^r(\mu)$, $0<r<1$.…

We explore connections furnished by the Funk metric, a relative of the Hilbert metric, between projective geometry, billiards, convex geometry and affine inequalities. We first show that many metric invariants of the Funk metric are…

We prove stability estimates for the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for convex sets. Unlike existing stability results, our estimates improve as the dimension grows. Our results are equivalent to a thin shell bound, which is one of the central…

In this short survey we want to present some of the impact of Minkowski's successive minima within Convex and Discrete Geometry. Originally related to the volume of an $o$-symmetric convex body, we point out relations of the successive…
