For $2 < p < p_0 \simeq 26.265$, the hyperplane section of the $l_p^n$-unit ball $B_p^n$ perpendicular to a^(n) = 1/sqrt(n) (1, ... ,1) for large $n$ has larger volume than the one orthogonal to a^(2) = 1/sqrt(2) (1,1,0, ...,0), as shown by…

This paper studies the relationship between volume and surface uniform measures on n-dimensional p-balls under the p-norm. It is proved that for p=1, p=2 and p=infinity, and only for these values of p, radial projection maps a…

We find an optimal upper bound on the volume of the John ellipsoid of a $k$-dimensional section of the $n$-dimensional cube, and an optimal lower bound on the volume of the L\"owner ellipsoid of a projection of the $n$-dimensional…

The aim of this work is to expose some asymptotic series associated to some expressions involving the volume of the n-dimensional unit ball. All proofs and the methods used for improving the classical inequalities announced in the final…

We give upper and lower bounds for the ratio of the volume of metric ball to the area of the metric sphere in Finsler-Hadamard manifolds with pinched S-curvature. We apply these estimates to find the limit at the infinity for this ratio.…

The largest volume ratio of given convex body $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is defined as $$\mbox{lvr}(K):= \sup_{L \subset \mathbb{R}^n} \mbox{vr}(K,L),$$ where the $\sup$ runs over all the convex bodies $L$. We prove the following sharp lower…

We study the properties of the maximal volume $k$-dimensional sections of the $n$-dimensional cube $[-1,1]^n$. We obtain a first order necessary condition for a $k$-dimensional subspace to be a local maximizer of the volume of such…

This paper considers metric balls $B(p,R)$ in two dimensional Riemannian manifolds when $R$ is less than half the convexity radius. We prove that $Area(B(p,R)) \geq \frac{8}{\pi}R^2$. This inequality has long been conjectured for $R$ less…

Imagine that there are two bins to which balls are added sequentially, and each incoming ball joins a bin with probability proportional to the p-th power of the number of balls already there. A general result says that if p>1/2, there…

We prove that the inequality $$\cosh \left( \mathrm{arcosh}(2 \cosh u) \cdot \tanh u \right) < \exp \left( u \cdot \tanh u \right)$$ holds for all $u > 0$. We check with the computation program Mathematica that the ratio between the…

We investigate the asymptotic best approximation of a smooth, strictly convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ by inscribed polytopes with a restricted number of vertices under the intrinsic volume difference. We prove rigidity phenomena in both…

We prove some sharp isoperimetric type inequalities for domains with smooth boundary on Riemannian manifolds. For example, using generalized convexity, we show that among all domains with a lower bound $l$ for the cut distance and Ricci…

We revisit an ingenious argument of K. Ball to provide sharp estimates for the volume of sections of a convex body in John's position. Our technique combines the geometric Brascamp-Lieb inequality with a generalised Parseval-type identity.…

A direct approach to Ball's simplex inequality is presented. This approach, which does not use the Brascamp-Lieb inequality, also gives Barthe's characterization of the simplex for Ball's inequality and extends it from discrete to arbitrary…

For integers $k,t \geq 2$ and $1\leq r \leq t$ let $D_k(r,t;n)$ be the number of parts among all $k$-regular partitions (i.e., partitions of $n$ where all parts have multiplicity less than $k$) of $n$ that are congruent to $r$ modulo $t$.…

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 $K$…
