We complement our work on the causality of upper semi-continuous distributions of cones with some results on Cauchy hypersurfaces. We prove that every locally stably acausal Cauchy hypersurface is stable. Then we prove that the signed…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ have minimal Gaussian surface area among all sets satisfying $\Omega=-\Omega$ with fixed Gaussian volume. Let $A=A_{x}$ be the second fundamental form of $\partial\Omega$ at $x$, i.e. $A$ is the matrix of…

The convex body isoperimetric conjecture in the plane asserts that the least perimeter to enclose given area inside a unit disk is greater than inside any other convex set of area $\pi$. In this note we confirm two cases of the conjecture:…

We study the slicing inequality for the surface area instead of volume. This is the question whether there exists a constant $\alpha_n$ depending (or not) on the dimension $n$ so that $$S(K)\leq\alpha_n|K|^{\frac{1}{n}}\max_{\xi\in…

Consider a point on a convex surface in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d \ge 2$ and a plane of support $\Pi$ to the surface at this point. Draw a plane parallel to $\Pi$ cutting a part of the surface. We study the limiting behavior of this part of…

For appropriately values of $H$, we obtain an area estimate for a complete non-compact $H$-surface of finite topology and finite area, embedded in a three-manifold of negative curvature. Moreover, in the case of equality and under…

We prove that the maximal development of any spherically symmetric spacetime with collisionless matter (obeying the Vlasov equation) or a massless scalar field (obeying the massless wave equation) and possessing a constant mean curvature…

This note offers a probabilistic proof of Girard's angle excess formula for the area of a spherical triangle, based on the observation that an unbounded 3-dimensional convex cone, with single vertex at the origin, has only three kinds of…

We give a new simple proof of Dehn's theorem by generalizing the notion of area. The method proposed in the present article is actually the "translation" of the method of additive functions into the elementary math language.

We define floating bodies in the class of $n$-dimensional ball-convex bodies. A right derivative of volume of these floating bodies leads to a surface area measure for ball-convex bodies which we call relative affine surface area. We show…

We give an explicit estimate of the area of a closed surface by the diameter and a lower bound of curvature. This is better than Calabi-Cao's estimate for a nonnegatively curved two-sphere.
