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, Euclidean and…
Can one build an arbitrary polytope from any polytope inside by iteratively stacking pyramids onto facets, without losing the convexity throughout the process? We prove that this is indeed possible for (i) 3-polytopes, (ii) 4-polytopes…
Denote by ${\mathcal K}^d$ the family of convex bodies in $E^d$ and by $w(C)$ the minimal width of $C \in {\mathcal K}^d$. We ask for the greatest number $\Lambda_n ({\mathcal K}^d)$ such that every $C \in {\mathcal K}^d$ contains a…
We give some new $q$-supercongruences on truncated forms of squares of basic hypergeometric series. Most of them are modulo the cube of a cyclotomic polynomial, and two of them are modulo the fourth power of a cyclotomic polynomial. The…
This is a survey on algorithmic questions about combinatorial and geometric properties of convex polytopes. We give a list of 35 problems; for each the current state of knowledege on its theoretical complexity status is reported. The…
It is well-known that the sequence of iterations of the composition of projections onto closed affine subspaces converges linearly to the projection onto the intersection of the affine subspaces when the sum of the corresponding linear…
We define a class of L-convex-concave subsets of $\Bbb{R}P^n$, where L is a projective subspace of dimension l in $\Bbb{R}P^n$. These are sets whose sections by any (l+1)-dimensional space L' containing L are convex and concavely depend on…
Rado's theorem about permutahedra and dominance order on partitions reveals that each Schur polynomial is M-convex, or equivalently, it has a saturated Newton polytope and this polytope is a generalized permutahedron as well. In this paper…
We introduce and prove the $n$-dimensional Pizza Theorem: Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a hyperplane arrangement in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. If $K$ is a measurable set of finite volume, the {pizza quantity} of $K$ is the alternating sum of the volumes of…
The purpose of this article is to give an interpretation of real projective structures and associated cohomology classes in terms of connections, sections, etc. satisfying elliptic partial differential equations in the spirit of Hodge…
The deformation space of real projective structures parametrizes the space of the convex real projective structures on an orbifold. The Coxeter orbifold can be obtained $D^2(;n_1,n_2,n_3,n_4)\times\mathbb{R}$ by embedding the Coxeter…
We compute the equivariant homology and cohomology of projective spaces with integer coefficients. More precisely, in the case of cyclic groups, we show that the cellular filtration of the projective space $P(k\rho )$, of lines inside…
We describe an algorithm for determining whether two convex polytopes P and Q, embedded in a lattice, are isomorphic with respect to a lattice automorphism. We extend this to a method for determining if P and Q are equivalent, i.e. whether…
Let T be the unit circle in the complex plane C. This paper proves the existence of analytic structure in a compact subset K of T X C^n, where K has so-called "lineally convex" or "hypoconvex" fibers over T. It also addresses a related…
For natural numbers $n$ and $l > d \geq 2$, let $ES_d(l,n)$ be the minimum $N$ such that any set of at least $N$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ contains either $l$ points contained in a common $(d-1)$-dimensional hyperplane or $n$ points in…
This paper is devoted to the classification problems concerning extended deformations of convex polyhedra and real hyperplane arrangements in the following senses: combinatorial equivalence of face posets, normal equivalence on normal fans…
Let W be a compact simply connected triangulated manifold with boundary and $K \subset W$ be a subpolyhedron. We construct an algebraic model of the rational homotopy type of the complement $W \setminus K$ out of a model of the map of pairs…
Suppose $E$ is an end of an irreducible, properly convex, real-projective $n$-manifold $M$. If $\pi_1E$ contains a subgroup of finite index isomorphic to ${\mathbb Z}^{n-1}$, and $E\hookrightarrow M$ is $\pi_1$-injective, then $E$ is a…
Attention is focused on quantum spaces of particular importance in physics, i.e. two-dimensional quantum plane, q-deformed Euclidean space in three or four dimensions, and q-deformed Minkowski space. Each of these quantum spaces can be…
We continue the study of intersection bodies of polytopes, focusing on the behavior of $IP$ under translations of $P$. We introduce an affine hyperplane arrangement and show that the polynomials describing the boundary of $I(P+t)$ can be…
