Busemann's intersection inequality gives an upper bound for the volume of the intersection body of a star body in terms of the volume of the body itself. Koldobsky, Paouris, and Zymonopoulou asked if there is a similar result for…

For a given $\lambda >0$, a convex body in $\mathbb R^n$ is $\lambda$-convex if it is the intersection of (finitely or infinitely many) balls of radius $1/\lambda$. In this note, we show that among all $\lambda$-convex bodies in $\mathbb…

We prove a generalization of the hyperplane inequality for intersection bodies, where volume is replaced by an arbitrary measure $\mu$ with even continuous density and sections are of arbitrary dimension $n-k,\ 1\le k <n.$ If $K$ is a…

Let $K$ be a field and let $V$ be a vector space of dimension $n$ over $K$. Let $M$ be a subspace of bilinear forms defined on $V\times V$. Let $r$ be the number of different non-zero ranks that occur among the elements of $M$. Our aim is…

We show that the non-symmetric Banach-Mazur distance between two convex bodies $K_1, K_2 \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ satisfies $$ d_{BM}(K_1, K_2) \leq C n \cdot \log^{\alpha} (n+1), $$ for universal constants $C, \alpha > 0$. This improves…

A family of homothets of an o-symmetric convex body K in d-dimensional Euclidean space is called a Minkowski arrangement if no homothet contains the center of any other homothet in its interior. We show that any pairwise intersecting…

We consider the problem of constructing small coresets for $k$-Median in Euclidean spaces. Given a large set of data points $P\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, a coreset is a much smaller set $S\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, so that the $k$-Median costs of…

A central theorem in combinatorics is Sperner's Theorem, which determines the maximum size of a family $\mathcal{F}\subseteq \mathcal{P}(n)$ that does not contain a $2$-chain $F_1\subsetneq F_2$. Erd\H{o}s later extended this result and…

Given a closed manifold M, we prove the upper bound of (n+d)/2 for the length of a product of systoles that can form a curvature-free lower bound for the total volume of M, in the spirit of M. Gromov's systolic inequalities. Here n is the…

The $k$-median and $k$-means clustering objectives are classic objectives for modeling clustering in a metric space. Given a set of points in a metric space, the goal of the $k$-median (resp. $k$-means) problem is to find $k$ representative…

A certain inequality conjectured by Vershynin is studied. It is proved that for any $n$-dimensional symmetric convex body $K$ with inradius $w$ and $\gamma_{n}(K) \leq 1/2$ there is $\gamma_{n}(sK) \leq (2s)^{w^{2}/4}\gamma_{n}(K)$ for any…

Given an arbitrary $1$-Lipschitz function $f$ on the torus $\mathbb{T}^n $, we find a $k$-dimensional subtorus $M \subseteq \mathbb{T}^n$, parallel to the axes, such that the restriction of $f$ to the subtorus $M$ is nearly a constant…

Given a non-empty bounded subset of hyperbolic space and a Kleinian group acting on that space, the orbital set is the orbit of the given set under the action of the group. We may view orbital sets as bounded (often fractal) subsets of…

The main result of this article states that the (K;N)-cone over some metric measure space satisfies the reduced Riemannian curvature-dimension condition RCD^*(KN;N+1) if and only if the underlying space satisfies RCD^*(N-1;N). The proof…

We extend the main result of Harrow, Kolla, and Schulman -- the existence of dimension-free $L^2$-bounds for the spherical maximal function in the hypercube -- to all $L^p, p > 1$. Our approach is motivated by the spectral technique…

We verify the inequality $$ \frac{|K|}{|E|}+\frac{|K^*|}{|E^*|}\leq 2 $$ for any $o$-symmetric convex body $K\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ where $E$ is either the John ellipse of maximal area contained in $K$ or the minimal area L\"owner ellipse…

We investigate the asymptotic best approximation of a smooth, strictly convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ by inscribed polytopes with a restricted number of vertices under the intrinsic volume difference. We prove rigidity phenomena in both…

We derive lower estimates for the approximation of the $d$-dimensional Euclidean ball by polytopes with a fixed number of $k$-dimensional faces, $k\in\{0,1,\ldots,d-1\}$. The metrics considered include the intrinsic volume difference and…

Let $r_k(N)$ denote the size of the largest subset of $[N] = \{1,\ldots,N\}$ with no $k$-term arithmetic progression. We show that for $k\ge 5$, there exists $c_k>0$ such that \[r_k(N)\ll N\exp(-(\log\log N)^{c_k}).\] Our proof is a…

We say that a family ${x_i|i\in[m]}$ of vectors in a Banach space $X$ satisfies the $k$-collapsing condition if $|\sum_{i\in I}x_i|\leq 1$ for all $k$-element subsets $I\subseteq{1,2,...,m}$. Let $C(k,d)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a…
