Given a compact set $K$ one may define a transfinite diameter for $K$ via a limiting process involving maximising a Vandermonde determinant over $K$ with respect to a monomial basis. Different transfinite diameters may be obtained by using…
We use methods from computational algebraic geometry to study Chebyshev constants and the transfinite diameter of a pure $m$-dimensional affine algebraic variety in $\mathbb{C}^n$ ($m\leq n$). The main result is a generalization of…
We prove a Chebyshev transform formula for a notion of (weighted) transfinite diameter that is defined using a generalized notion of polynomial degree. We also generalize Leja points to this setting. As an application of our main formula,…

Towards the boundary of the big cone, Newton-Okounkov bodies do not vary continuously and in fact the body of a boundary class is not well defined. Using the global Okounkov body one can nonetheless define a numerical invariant, the…
A Newton-Okounkov body is a convex body constructed from a polarized variety with a valuation on its function field. Kaveh (resp., the first author and Naito) proved that the Newton-Okounkov body of a Schubert variety associated with a…
This paper proves the volume of the arithmetic Okounkov body, constructed from a hermitian line bundle on an arithmetic variety by the author in a previous paper, is equal to the the volume of the hermitian line bundle up to a simple…
The theory of Newton-Okounkov bodies is a generalization of that of Newton polytopes for toric varieties, and it gives a systematic method of constructing toric degenerations of projective varieties. In this paper, we study Newton-Okounkov…
We describe, under certain conditions, the Newton-Okounkov body of a Bott-Samelson variety as a lattice polytope defined by an explicit list of inequalities. The valuation that we use to define the Newton-Okounkov body is different from…
We provide a general framework and indicate relations between the notions of transfinite diameter, homogeneous transfinite diameter, and weighted transfinite diameter for sets in C^N. An ingredient is a formula of Rumely which relates the…
In this note we focus on three independent problems on Okounkov bodies for projective varieties. The main goal is to present a geometric version of the classical Fujita Approximation Theorem, a Jow-type theorem and a cardinality formulae…
We compute Okounkov bodies of projective complexity-one T-varieties with respect to two types of invariant flags. In particular, we show that the latter are rational polytopes. Moreover, using results of Dave Anderson and Nathan Ilten, we…
Given an affine variety X and a finite dimensional vector space of regular functions L on X, we associate a convex body to (X, L) such that its volume is responsible for the number of solutions of a generic system of functions from L. This…
The Newton--Okounkov body of a big divisor D on a smooth surface is a numerical invariant in the form of a convex polygon. We study the geometric significance of the shape of Newton--Okounkov polygons of ample divisors, showing that they…
A Newton-Okounkov convex body is a convex body constructed from a projective variety with a valuation on its homogeneous coordinate ring; this is deeply connected with representation theory. For instance, the Littelmann string polytopes and…
An Okounkov body is a convex subset in Euclidean space associated to a big divisor on a smooth projective variety with respect to an admissible flag. In this paper, we introduce two convex bodies associated to pseudoeffective divisors,…
In his work on log-concavity of multiplicities, Okounkov showed in passing that one could associate a convex body to a linear series on a projective variety, and then use convex geometry to study such linear systems. Although Okounkov was…
The purpose of this paper is to establish a subadditivity theorem of Okounkov bodies for algebraic fiber spaces. As applications, we obtain a product formula of the restricted canonical volumes for algebraic fiber spaces and a sufficient…
We study the additivity of Newton-Okounkov bodies. Our main result states that on two-dimensional subcones of the ample cone the Newto-Okounkov body associated to an appropriate flag acts additively. We prove this by induction relying on…
We show that the volume of transcendental big $(1,1)$-classes on compact K\"ahler manifolds can be realized by convex bodies, thus answering questions of Lazarsfeld-Musta\c{t}\u{a} and Deng. In our approach we use an approximation process…
