Minkowski's classical existence theorem provides necessary and sufficient conditions for a Borel measure on the unit sphere of Euclidean space to be the surface area measure of a convex body. The solution is unique up to a translation. We…
This is the second part of our work on Zariski decomposition structures, where we compare two different volume type functions for curve classes. The first function is the polar transform of the volume for ample divisor classes. The second…
We associate convex bodies to a wide class of graded G-algebras where G is a connected reductive group. These convex bodies give information about the Hilbert function as well as multiplicities of irreducible representations appearing in…
This article derives closed-form parametric formulas for the Minkowski sums of convex bodies in d-dimensional Euclidean space with boundaries that are smooth and have all positive sectional curvatures at every point. Under these conditions,…
We show that the natural "convolution" on the space of smooth, even, translation-invariant convex valuations on a euclidean space $V$, obtained by intertwining the product and the duality transform of S. Alesker, may be expressed in terms…
The Brunn-Minkowski theory relies heavily on the notion of mixed volumes. Despite its particular importance, even explicit representations for the mixed volumes of two convex bodies in Euclidean space are available only in special cases.…
We study the complex-analytic geometry of semi-positive holomorphic line bundles on compact K\"ahler manifolds. In one of our main results, for a $\mathbb{Q}$-effective line bundle satisfying a natural torsion-type assumption, we show the…
We study relations of some classes of $k$-convex, $k$-visible bodies in Euclidean spaces. We introduce and study \textrm{circular projections} in normed linear spaces and classes of bodies related with families of such maps, in particular,…
We study a class of semialgebraic convex bodies called discotopes. These are instances of zonoids, objects of interest in real algebraic geometry and random geometry. We focus on the face structure and on the boundary hypersurface of…
Diversities are an extension of the concept of a metric space which assign a non-negative value to every finite set of points, rather than just pairs. A general theory of diversities has been developed which exhibits many deep analogies to…
Based on the combinatorial description of the moduli spaces of curves provided by Strebel differentials, Witten and Kontsevich have introduced combinatorial cohomology classes $W_{(m_0,m_1,m_2,\dots),n}$, and conjectured that these can be…
The aim of the paper is to develop a unified algebraical approach to representing the Minkowski difference for convex polyhedra. Namely, there is proposed an exact analytical formulas of the Minkowski difference for convex polyhedra with…
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.…
We address an old open question in convex geometry that dates back to the work of Minkowski: what are the equality cases of the monotonicity of mixed volumes? The problem is equivalent to that of providing a geometric characterization of…
Volume polynomials measure the growth of Minkowski sums of convex bodies and of tensor powers of positive line bundles on projective varieties. We show that Aluffi's covolume polynomials are precisely the polynomial differential operators…
The projector onto the Minkowski sum of closed convex sets is generally not equal to the sum of individual projectors. In this work, we provide a complete answer to the question of characterizing the instances where such an equality holds.…
We introduce a notion of ampleness for subschemes of higher codimension using the theory of q-ample line bundles. We also investigate certain geometric properties satisfied by ample subvarieties, e.g. the Lefschetz hyperplane theorems and…
We prove that the Hilbert geometry of a product of convex sets is bi-lipschitz equivalent the direct product of their respective Hilbert geometries. We also prove that the volume entropy is additive with respect to product and that…
Sumset estimates, which provide bounds on the cardinality of sumsets of finite sets in a group, form an essential part of the toolkit of additive combinatorics. In recent years, probabilistic or entropic analogs of many of these…
If the complement of a closed convex set in a closed convex cone is bounded, then this complement minus the apex of the cone is called a coconvex set. Coconvex sets appear in singularity theory (they are closely related to Newton diagrams)…
