Let $D$ be a bounded domain in $\mathbb R^n,$ with smooth boundary. Denote $V_D(\omega,t), \ \omega \in S^{n-1}, t \in \mathbb R,$ the Radon transform of the characteristic function $\chi_{D}$ of the domain $D,$ i.e., the $(n-1)-$…

A bounded domain $K \subset \mathbb R^n$ is called polynomially integrable if the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of the intersection $K$ with a hyperplane $\Pi$ polynomially depends on the distance from $\Pi$ to the origin. It was proved in [7]…

We prove that there are no bounded domains with smooth boundaries in even-dimensional Euclidean spaces, such that the volumes cut off from them by affine hyperplanes depend algebraically on these hyperplanes. For convex ovals in $R^2$, this…

Any compact body in ${\mathbb R}^N$ with smooth boundary defines a two-valued function on the space of affine hyperplanes: the volumes of two parts into which these hyperplanes cut the body. This function is never algebraic if $N$ is even…

V. Arnold's problem 1987-14 asks whether there exist smooth hypersurfaces in $R^N$ (other than the conics in odd-dimensional spaces) for which the volume of the segment cut by any hyperplane from the body bounded by such a hypersurface is…

The Khavinson-Shapiro conjecture states that ellipsoids are the only bounded domains in euclidean space satisfying the following property (KS): the solution of the Dirichlet problem for polynomial data is polynomial. In this paper we show…

We consider the problem of maximizing the volume of hermitian ellipsoids inscribed in a given pseudoconvex domain in complex Euclidean space. We prove existence and uniqueness, and give a characterization of the maximizer.

An infinitely smooth convex body in $\mathbb R^n$ is called polynomially integrable of degree $N$ if its parallel section functions are polynomials of degree $N$. We prove that the only smooth convex bodies with this property in odd…

The volume cut off by a hyperplane from a bounded body with smooth boundary in $R^{2k}$ never is an algebraic function on the space of hyperplanes: for k=1 it is the famous lemma XXVIII from Newton's Principia. Following an analogy of these…

We prove the existence of nontrivial unbounded exceptional domains in the Euclidean space $\R^N$, $N\geq4$. These domains arise as perturbations of complements of straight cylinders in $\R^N$, and by definition they support a positive…

In this paper we find surprisingly small Oka domains in Euclidean spaces $\mathbb C^n$ of dimension $n>1$ at the very limit of what is possible. Under a mild geometric assumption on a closed unbounded convex set $E$ in $\mathbb C^n$ we show…

The section volume function $A_K(\xi,t), \ \xi \in \mathbb R^n, \ t \in \mathbb R,$ of a body $K \subset \mathbb R^n$ evaluates the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of the cross-section $K$ by the hyperplane $\{ x \cdot \xi=t \}.$ We are…

Let $M$ be a strictly convex smooth connected hypersurface in $\mathbb R^n$ and $\widehat{M}$ its convex hull. We say that $M$ is locally polynomially integrable if the $(n-1)-$ dimensional volumes of the sections of $\widehat M$ by…

An infinitely smooth symmetric convex body $K\subset\mathbb R^d$ is called $k$-separably integrable, $1\leq k<d$, if its $k$-dimensional isotropic volume function $V_{K,H}(t)=\mathcal H^d(\{\boldsymbol x\in K:\mathrm{dist}(\boldsymbol…

In this paper we study the geometry and the topology of unbounded domains in the Hyperbolic Space $\mathbb{H} ^n$ supporting a bounded positive solution to an overdetermined elliptic problem. Under suitable conditions on the elliptic…

We study the influence of geometry on semilinear elliptic equations of bistable or nonlinear-field type in unbounded domains. We discover a surprising dichotomy between epigraphs that are bounded from below and those that contain a cone of…

We consider billiard ball motion in a convex domain of the Euclidean plane bounded by a piece-wise smooth curve influenced by the constant magnetic field. We show that if there exists a polynomial in velocities integral of the magnetic…

We show that if the eccentricity of an ellipse is sufficiently small then up to isometries it is spectrally unique among all smooth domains. We do not assume any symmetry, convexity, or closeness to the ellipse, on the class of domains. In…

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…

The classical Birkhoff conjecture says that the only integrable convex domains are circles and ellipses. In the paper we show that this a version of this conjecture is true for small perturbations of ellipses of small eccentricity.
