Recently many papers on cone metric spaces have been appeared, and main topological properties of such spaces have been obtained. A cone metric space is Hausdorff, and first countable, so the topology of it coincides with a topology induced…

We show that the following properties are preserved under inverse limits: countable fan-tightness, q+, discrete generation and selective separability. We also present several examples based on inverse limits of countable spaces.

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in general position on the plane. A set of closed convex polygons with vertices in $P$, and with pairwise disjoint interiors is called a convex decomposition of $P$ if their union is the convex hull of $P$,…

We explicitly compute limit shapes for several grand canonical Gibbs ensembles of partitions of integers. These ensembles appear in models of aggregation and are also related to invariant measures of zero range and coagulation-fragmentation…

It is well known that celestial bodies tend to be spherical due to gravity and that rotation produces deviations from this sphericity. We discuss what is known and expected about the shape of black holes' horizons from their formation to…

We give conditions which imply that a complete noncompact manifold with quadratic curvature decay has finite topological type. In particular, we find links between the topology of a manifold with quadractic curvature decay and some…

In this paper, we consider the convolutions of slanted half-plane mappings and strip mappings and generalize related results in general settings. We also consider a class of harmonic mappings containing slanted half-plane mappings and strip…

In this paper, it is shown that a Wulff shape is strictly convex if and only if its convex integrand is of class $C^1$. Moreover, applications of this result are given.

This paper is concerned with the completeness (with respect to the centroaffine metric) of hyperbolic centroaffine hypersurfaces which are closed in the ambient vector space. We show that completeness holds under generic regularity…

We estimate the maximal number of integral points which can be on a convex arc in the plane with given length, minimal radius of curvature and initial slope.

We prove an existence theorem for convex hypersurfaces of prescribed Gauss curvature in the complement of a compact set in Euclidean space which are close to a cone.

Amenability is a notion of facial exposedness for convex cones that is stronger than being facially dual complete (or "nice") which is, in turn, stronger than merely being facially exposed. Hyperbolicity cones are a family of algebraically…

Convex polytopes are convex hulls of point sets in the $n$-dimensional space $\E^n$ that generalize 2-dimensional convex polygons and 3-dimensional convex polyhedra. We concentrate on the class of $n$-dimensional polytopes in $\E^n$ called…

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:…

Mixed integer set representations, and specifically hybrid zonotopes, have enabled new techniques for reachability and verification of nonlinear and hybrid systems. Mixed-integer sets which have the property that their convex relaxation is…

A polytrope is a tropical polytope which at the same time is convex in the ordinary sense. A $d$-dimensional polytrope turns out to be a tropical simplex, that is, it is the tropical convex hull of $d+1$ points. This statement is equivalent…

Tree convex sets refer to a collection of sets such that each set in the collection is a subtree of a tree whose nodes are the elements of these sets. They extend the concept of row convex sets each of which is an interval over a total…

We study the question whether the affine semigroup of integer points in a convex cone can be finitely generated up to symmetries of the cone. We establish general properties of finite generation up to symmetry, and then concentrate on the…

High proved the following theorem. If the intersections of any two congruent copies of a plane convex body are centrally symmetric, then this body is a circle. In our paper we extend the theorem of High to spherical and hyperbolic planes.…

This paper (written in Russian) presents a survey of new and earlier results on fine zonotopal tilings (briefly, cubillages) of cyclic zonotopes. The combinatorial theory of these objects is of interest in its own right and also has a…
