The famous Minkowski inequality provides a sharp lower bound for the mixed volume $V(K,M[n-1])$ of two convex bodies $K,M\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ in terms of powers of the volumes of the individual bodies $K$ and $M$. The special case where $K$…

Let $M_{n, m}(\mathbb{R})$ be the space of $n\times m$ real matrices. Define $\mathcal{K}_o^{n,m}$ as the set of convex compact subsets in $M_{n,m}(\mathbb{R})$ with nonempty interior containing the origin $o\in M_{n, m}(\mathbb{R})$, and…

Every convex body K in R^n has a coordinate projection PK that contains at least vol(0.1 K) cells of the integer lattice PZ^n, provided this volume is at least one. Our proof of this counterpart of Minkowski's theorem is based on an…
