We generalize the classical Hardy and Faber-Krahn inequalities to arbitrary functions on a convex body $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, not necessarily vanishing on the boundary $\partial \Omega$. This reduces the study of the Neumann…

Tingley's problem asks whether every surjective isometry between the unit spheres of two Banach spaces admits an extension to a real linear surjective isometry between the whole spaces. In this paper, we give an affirmative answer to…

In this paper we explore questions regarding the Minkowski sum of the boundaries of convex sets. Motivated by a question suggested to us by V.~Milman regarding the volume of $\partial K+ \partial T$ where $K$ and $T$ are convex bodies, we…

I provide a prescription to define space, at a given moment, for an arbitrary observer in an arbitrary (sufficiently regular) curved space-time. This prescription, based on synchronicity (simultaneity) arguments, defines a foliation of…

In this note we consider two topics involving the relationship between the symplectic capacity and the mean width of convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$. We first describe an alternative path from the symplectic Brunn-Minkowski inequality of…

This paper continues the study of a class of compact convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space $R^{n+1}, ~n \geq 1$, which are boundaries of compact convex bodies obtained by taking the intersection of (solid) confocal paraboloids of…

Given an affine variety X and a finite dimensional vector space of regular functions L on X, we associate a convex body to (X, L) such that its volume is responsible for the number of solutions of a generic system of functions from L. This…

For a hyponormal operator, C. R. Putnam's inequality gives an upper bound on the norm of its self-commutator. In the special case of a Toeplitz operator with analytic symbol in the Smirnov space of a domain, there is also a geometric lower…

We consider a new subclass $\widetilde{\mathcal{K}}_u$ of close-to-convex functions in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$. For this class, we obtain sharp estimates of the Fekete-Szeg\"{o} problem, growth and distortion…

In this paper, a new lemma is proved and inequalities of Simpson type are established for co-ordinated convex functions and bounded functions.

We first provide an approach to the recent conjecture of Bierstone-Milman-Pawlucki on Whitney's old problem on smooth extendability of functions defined on a closed subset of a Euclidean space, using higher order paratangent bundle they…

Our work builds on known results for k-uniform hypergraphs including the existence of limits, a Regularity Lemma and a Removal Lemma. Our main tool here is a theory of measures on ultraproduct spaces which establishes a correspondence…

The support measures of a convex body are a common generalization of the curvature measures and the area measures. With respect to the Hausdorff metric on the space of convex bodies, they are weakly continuous. We provide a quantitative…

The spherical mean transform associates to a function $f$ its integral averages over all spheres. We consider the spherical mean transform for functions supported in the unit ball $\mathbb{B}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for odd $n$, with the centers…

The classical Minkowski inequality implies that the volume of a bounded convex domain is controlled from above by the integral of the mean curvature of its boundary. In this note, we establish an analogous inequality without the convexity…

The Minkowski function is a crucial tool used in the study of balanced domains and, more generally, quasi-balanced domains in several complex variables. If a quasi-balanced domain is bounded and pseudoconvex then it is well-known that its…

We explore the new technique developed recently in \cite{Rosenhaus:2014woa} and suggest a correspondence between the $N$-point correlation functions on spacetime with conical defects and the $(N+1)$-point correlation functions in regular…

I discuss the impact of the positive cosmological constant on the interplay between the equivalence principle in general relativity, and the rules of quantum mechanics. At the non--relativistic level there is an ambiguity in the definition…

First, we provide an exposition of a theorem due to Slodkowski regarding the largest "eigenvalue" of a convex function. In his work on the Dirichlet problem, Slodkowski introduces a generalized second-order derivative which for $C^2$…

During the study of the topic of limit summability of functions (introduced by the author in 2001), we encountered some types of functions that are related to the mean value theorem. In this paper, we formally define mean value and…
