In this work we deal with the problem of support estimation under shape restrictions. The shape restriction we deal with is an extension of the notion of convexity named alpha-convexity. Instead of assuming, as in the convex case, the…

We prove the central limit theorem for the volume and the $f$-vector of the Poisson random polytope $\Pi_{\eta}$ in a fixed convex polytope $P\subset\mathbb{R}^d$. Here, $\Pi_{\eta}$ is the convex hull of the intersection of a Poisson…

Let $M$ be a smooth closed orientable manifold and $\mathcal{P}(M)$ the space of Poisson structures on $M$. We construct a Poisson bracket on $\mathcal{P}(M)$ depending on a choice of volume form. The Hamiltonian flow of the bracket acts on…
