Let $G, G_1,\dots,G_N$ be independent copies of a standard gaussian random vector in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and denote by $\Gamma = \sum_{i=1}^N \langle G_i,\cdot\rangle e_i$ the standard gaussian ensemble. We show that, for any set $A\subset…

One can associate to any bivariate polynomial P(X,Y) its Newton polygon. This is the convex hull of the points (i,j) such that the monomial X^i Y^j appears in P with a nonzero coefficient. We conjecture that when P is expressed as a sum of…

Central limit theorems for the log-volume of a class of random convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ are obtained in the high-dimensional regime, that is, as $n\to\infty$. In particular, the case of random simplices pinned at the origin and…

Given a (finite) simplicial complex, we define its $i$-th Laplacian polytope as the convex hull of the columns of its $i$-th Laplacian matrix. This extends Laplacian simplices of finite simple graphs, as introduced by Braun and Meyer. After…

Motivated by connections to random matrices, Littlewood-Richardson coefficients and tilings, we study random discrete concave functions on an equilateral lattice. We show that such functions having a periodic Hessian of a fixed average…

Polytopes are the basic finite data structures for convex sets: they appear as feasible regions in linear optimization, as geometric summaries in algorithms, and as random objects in stochastic geometry. A natural geometric question is…

There are (at least) two reasons to study random polytopes. The first is to understand the combinatorics and geometry of random polytopes especially as compared to other classes of polytopes, and the second is to analyze average-case…

Symmetric edge polytopes are lattice polytopes associated with finite simple graphs that are of interest in both theory and applications. We investigate the facet structure of symmetric edge polytopes for various models of random graphs.…

It is shown that max-stable random vectors in $[0,\infty)^d$ with unit Fr\'echet marginals are in one to one correspondence with convex sets $K$ in $[0,\infty)^d$ called max-zonoids. The max-zonoids can be characterised as sets obtained as…

Suppose $d+1$ absolutely continuous probability measures $m_0, \ldots, m_d$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ are given. In this paper, we prove that there exists a point of $\mathbb{R}^d$ that belongs to the convex hull of $d+1$ points $v_0, \ldots, v_d$…

We study the edge-expansion of the graph of a random $0/1$ polytope $P^d_p$, defined as the convex hull of a random subset of the points in $\{0,1\}^d$ where every point is retained independently and with probability $p$. This problem was…

In this work we study a class of random convex sets that "interpolate" between polytopes and zonotopes. These sets arise from considering a $q^{th}$-moment ($q\geq 1$) of an average of order statistics of $1$-dimensional marginals of a…

We consider a class of diffusion problems defined on simple graphs in which the populations at any two vertices may be averaged if they are connected by an edge. The diffusion polytope is the convex hull of the set of population vectors…

The uniform probability measure on a convex polytope induces piecewise polynomial densities on its projections. For a fixed combinatorial type of simplicial polytopes, the moments of these measures are rational functions in the vertex…
