Many classical geometric inequalities on functionals of convex bodies depend on the dimension of the ambient space. We show that this dimension dependence may often be replaced (totally or partially) by different symmetry measures of the…

On a manifold with boundary, we deform the metric conformally. This induces a deformation of the Schouten tensor. We fix the metric at the boundary and realize a prescribed value for the product of the eigenvalues of the Schouten tensor in…

A description of continuous rigid motion compatible Minkowski valuations is established. As an application, we present a Brunn-Minkowski type inequality for intrinsic volumes of these valuations.

In our analysis, we show that what Cottenden et al. accomplish is the derivation of the ordinary capstan equation, and a solution to a dynamic membrane with both a zero-Poisson's ratio and a zero-mass density on a rigid right-circular cone.…

In this note, we derive explicit formulae for the curvature of a convex sum of Riemannian metrics, \(g_t = (1-t)g_0 + t g_1\). We study whether such a deformation can increase the \emph{average} of the Riemann curvature component…

Tensor analysis provides a frame-invariant foundation for continuum mechanics, yet numerical implementations rely on matrix representations expressed in user-selected bases. When these bases are non-Cartesian and non-orthonormal, additional…

We derive a formula for the curvature tensor of the natural Riemannian metric on the space of two-dimensional conformal field theories and also a formula for the curvature tensor of the space of boundary conformal field theories.

The latest results from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope Collaboration have moved the preferred perturbation spectral index $n_{\rm s}$ closer towards one. We reanalyse constraints on the simplest version of the curvaton model, using $n_{\rm…

Cauchy's surface area formula expresses the surface area of a convex body as the average area of its orthogonal projections over all directions. While this tool is fundamental in Euclidean geometry, with applications ranging from geometric…

Our principal goal is to study the Prescribed Curvature Tensor problem in locally conformally flat manifolds. The solution to this problem is given explicitly for the special cases of the tensor R, including a case where the metric g is…

Using the convex functions in Grassmannian manifolds we can carry out interior estimates for mean curvature flow of higher codimension. In this way some of the results of Ecker-Huisken can be generalized to higher codimension

We completely classify all measurable $\operatorname{SL}(n)$-covariant symmetric tensor valuations on convex polytopes containing the origin in their interiors. It is shown that essentially the only examples of such valuations are the…
