We obtain a new extension of Rogers-Shephard inequality providing an upper bound for the volume of the sum of two convex bodies $K$ and $L$. We also give lower bounds for the volume of the $k$-th limiting convolution body of two convex…

We refine a result of L. Caporaso, J. Harris and B. Mazur, and prove: Supposons que la conjecture de Lang soit vraie. Soit $K$ un corps des nombres et $g>1$ un entier. Il existe un nombre $N(K,g)$ tel que si $L$ est une extension de degr\'e…

A set-system $S\subseteq \{0,1\}^n$ is cube-ideal if its convex hull can be described by capacity and generalized set covering inequalities. In this paper, we use combinatorics, convex geometry, and polyhedral theory to give exponential…

Motivated by the question of Mikael de la Salle, we investigate the problem of the existence of equivalent strictly convex norms on Banach spaces that are invariant with respect to an action of a group by linear isometries. We develop…

For every large enough $n$, we explicitly construct a body of constant width $2$ that has volume less than $0.9^n \text{Vol}(\mathbb{B}^{n}$), where $\mathbb{B}^{n}$ is the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. This answers a question of…

A C*-algebra is said to be K-stable if its nonstable K-groups are naturally isomorphic to the usual K-theory groups. We study continuous $C(X)$-algebras, each of whose fibers are K-stable. We show that such an algebra is itself K-stable…

The study of bodies of constant width is a classical subject in convex geometry, with the 3-dimensional Meissner bodies being canonical examples. This paper presents a novel geometric construction of a body of constant width in $\mathbb…

We prove several results of the following type: given finite dimensional normed space V possessing certain geometric property there exists another space X having the same property and such that (1) log (dim X) = O(log (dim V)) and (2) every…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\bbR^n$ and $\d>0$. The homothety conjecture asks: Does $K_{\d}=c K$ imply that $K$ is an ellipsoid? Here $K_{\d}$ is the (convex) floating body and $c$ is a constant depending on $\d$ only. In this paper we…

We give the sharp lower bound of the volume product of $n$-dimensional convex bodies which are invariant under a discrete subgroup $SO(K)=\{ g \in SO(n); g(K)=K \}$, where $K$ is an $n$-cube or $n$-simplex. This provides new partial results…

It is shown that every not-necessarily symmetric convex body $K$ in ${\mathbb R}^n$ has an affine image $\tilde{K}$ of $K$ such that the covering numbers of $\tilde{K}$ by growing dilates of the unit Euclidean ball, as well as those of the…

We give a review of results on the minimum convex cover and maximum hidden set problems. In addition, we give some new results. First we show that it is NP-hard to determine whether a polygon has the same convex cover number as its hidden…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $f : \partial K \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_+$ a continuous, strictly positive function with $\int\limits_{\partial K} f(x) d \mu_{\partial K}(x) = 1$. We give an upper bound for the approximation…

Let $d \ge 2$, and let $K \subset {\Bbb{R}}^d$ be a convex body containing the origin $0$ in its interior. In a previous paper we have proved the following. The body $K$ is $0$-symmetric if and only if the following holds. For each $\omega…

We obtain a sharp characterization of the Euclidean ball among all convex bodies K whose boundary has a pointwise k-th mean curvature not smaller than a geometric constant at almost all normal points. This geometric constant depends only on…

The Rolling Ball Theorem asserts that given a convex body K in Euclidean space and having a smooth surface bd(K) with all principal curvatures not exceeding c>0 at all boundary points, K necessarily has the property that to each boundary…

We completely describe the region of possible values of the diameter-width ratio for planar pseudo-complete sets in dependence of the Minkowski asymmetry. In order to do this, we focus on the containment inequalities of $K \cap (-K)$ and…

The goal of this paper is to study when uniform Roe algebras have certain $C^*$-algebraic properties in terms of the underlying space: in particular, we study properties like having stable rank one or real rank zero that are thought of as…

We show that in all dimensions d>2, there exists an asymmetric convex body of revolution all of whose maximal hyperplane sections have the same volume. This gives the negative answer to the question posed by V. Klee in 1969.

This study first defines a new metric with normal structure on C(H,K) and then a new technique to prove fixed point theorems for families of non-expansive maps on this metric space. Indeed, it shows that the presence of a bounded orbit…
