The convex shape contained in a disk having prescribed area and maximal perimeter is completely characterized in terms of the area fraction. The solution is always a polygon having all but one sides equal. The lengths of the sides are…

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,…

The purpose of this paper is to study the reflections of a convex body. In particular, we are interested in orthogonal reflections of its sections that can be extended to reflections of the whole body. For this reason, we need to study the…

We show that every polynomially integrable planar outer convex billiard is elliptic.

We strongly believe that in order to prove two important geometrical pro\-blems in convexity, namely, the G. Bianchi and P. Gruber's Conjecture \cite{bigru} and the J. A. Barker and D. G. Larman's Conjecture \cite{Barker}, it is necessary…

In ["Illumination of convex bodies with many symmetries", Mathematika 63 (2017)], Tikhomirov verified the Hadwiger-Boltyanski Illumination Conjecture for the class of 1-symmetric convex bodies of sufficiently large dimension. We propose an…

We prove that for $n>3$ each generic simple polytope in $\mathbb{R}^n$ contains a point with at least $2n+4$ emanating normals to the boundary. This result is a piecewise-linear counterpart of a long-standing problem about normals to smooth…

We prove Gaussian approximation theorems for specific $k$-dimensional marginals of convex bodies which possess certain symmetries. In particular, we treat bodies which possess a 1-unconditional basis, as well as simplices. Our results…

A comparison theorem by Choe, Ghomi and Ritor\'e states that the exterior isoperimetric profile $I_\mathcal{C}$ of any convex body $\mathcal{C}$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ lies above that of any half-space $H$. We characterize convex bodies such…

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.

The article contains the results of the author's recent investigations of rigidity problems of domains in Euclidean spaces carried out for developing a new approach to the classical problem of the unique determination of bounded closed…

A spectrahedron is a set defined by a linear matrix inequality. Given a spectrahedron we are interested in the question of the smallest possible size $r$ of the matrices in the description by linear matrix inequalities. We show that for the…

It is well known that every convex body in a finite dimensional normed space can be uniformly approximated by strictly convex and smooth convex bodies. However, in the case of infinite dimensions, little progress has been made since Klee…

Let a and x denote tuples of (jointly) freely noncommuting variables. A square matrix valued polynomial p in these variables is naturally evaluated at a tuple (A,X) of symmetric matrices with the result p(A,X) a square matrix. The…

Let $\Rx$ denote the ring of polynomials in $g$ freely non-commuting variables $x=(x_1,...,x_g)$. There is a natural involution * on $\Rx$ determined by $x_j^*=x_j$ and $(pq)^*=q^* p^*$ and a free polynomial $p\in\Rx$ is symmetric if it is…

The main motivation here is a question: whether any polyhedron which can be subdivided into convex pieces without adding a vertex, and which has the same vertices as a convex polyhedron, is infinitesimally rigid. We prove that it is indeed…

We prove an effective bound for the degree of a smooth divisor of a hypersurface of P^n, n>4 (projective space over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero). Our result follows from a strong (since the degree of the divisor is…

In (the surface of) a convex polytope P^3 in R^4, an area-minimizing surface avoids the vertices of P and crosses the edges orthogonally. In a smooth Riemannian manifold M with a group of isometries G, an area-minimizing G-invariant…

Let $\mathrm{pod}_{-4}(n)$ denote the number of partition quadruples of $n$ where the odd parts in each partition are distinct. We find many arithmetic properties of $\mathrm{pod}_{-4}(n)$ involving the following infinite family of…

We obtain a sharp characterization of the Euclidean ball among all convex bodies K whose boundary has a pointwise k-th mean curvature not smaller than a geometric constant at almost all normal points. This geometric constant depends only on…
