We give a systematic and thorough study of geometric notions and results connected to Minkowski's measure of symmetry and the extension of the well-known Minkowski functional to arbitrary, not necessarily symmetric convex bodies K on any…
We give a characterization of smooth, rotation and dually epi-translation invariant valuations and use this result to obtain a new proof of the Hadwiger theorem on convex functions. We also give a description of the construction of the…
We derive tight expressions for the maximum number of $k$-faces, $0\le{}k\le{}d-1$, of the Minkowski sum, $P_1+...+P_r$, of $r$ convex $d$-polytopes $P_1,...,P_r$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where $d\ge{}2$ and $r<d$, as a (recursively defined)…
We consider the following trace function on n-tuples of positive operators: \Phi_p(A_1,A_2,...,A_n) = Trace (\sum_{j=1}^n A_j^p)^{1/p} and prove that it is jointly concave for 0<p\le 1 and convex for p=2. We then derive from this a…
We introduce the notion of volume of the representation variety of a finitely presented discrete group in a compact Lie group using the push-forward measure associated to a map defined by a presentation of the discrete group. We show that…
We consider the problem of finding the best function $\varphi_n:[0,1]\to\mathbb{R}$ such that for any pair of convex bodies $K,L\in\mathbb{R}^n$ the following Brunn-Minkowski type inequality holds $$ |K+_\theta…
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.…
Towards the boundary of the big cone, Newton-Okounkov bodies do not vary continuously and in fact the body of a boundary class is not well defined. Using the global Okounkov body one can nonetheless define a numerical invariant, the…
The Alesker-Bernig-Schuster theorem asserts that each irreducible representation of the special orthogonal group appears with multiplicity at most one as a subrepresentation of the space of continuous translation-invariant valuations with…
In this article we present explicit formulae for q-differentiation on quantum spaces which could be of particular importance in physics, i.e., q-deformed Minkowski space and q-deformed Euclidean space in three or four dimensions. The…
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…
We show that there exist convex $n$-gons $P$ and $Q$ such that the largest convex polygon in the Minkowski sum $P+Q$ has size $\Theta(n\log n)$. This matches an upper bound of Tiwary.
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…
For valuations on convex bodies in Euclidean spaces, there is by now a long series of characterization and classification theorems. The classical template is Hadwiger's theorem, saying that every rigid motion invariant, continuous,…
The spaces of Sp(n)-, Sp(n)U(1)- and Sp(n)Sp(1)- invariant, translation invariant, continuous convex valuations on the quaternionic vector space H^n are studied. Combinatorial dimension formulas involving Young diagrams and Schur…
We give an algorithm to write down all conformally invariant differential operators acting between scalar functions on Minkowski space. All operators of order k are nonlinear and are functions on a finite family of functionally independent…
We show that analytic analogs of Brunn-Minkowski-type inequalities fail for functional intrinsic volumes on convex functions. This is demonstrated both through counterexamples and by connecting the problem to results of Colesanti, Hug, and…
We consider the projectivization of Minkowski space with the analytic continuation of the hyperbolic metric and call this an extended hyperbolic space. We can measure the volume of a domain lying across the boundary of the hyperbolic space…
For every convex body $K \subset \mathbb R^n$ and $\delta \in (0,1)$, the $\delta$-convolution body of $K$ is the set of $x \in \mathbb R^n$ for which $\left|K \cap (K+x)\right|_n \geq \delta \left|K\right|_n$. We show that for $n=2$ and…
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…
