Following ideas of Iriyeh and Shibata we give a short proof of the three-dimensional Mahler conjecture {\mf for symmetric convex bodies}. Our contributions include, in particular, simple self-contained proofs of their two key statements.…

We discuss representations of the projective line over a ring $R$ with 1 in a projective space over some (not necessarily commutative) field $K$. Such a representation is based upon a $(K,R)$-bimodule $U$. The points of the projective line…

Generalizing previous work by two of us, we prove the non-existence of certain stationary configurations in General Relativity having a spatial reflection symmetry across a non-compact surface disjoint from the matter region. Our results…

The classical Busemann-Petty problem (1956) asks, whether origin-symmetric convex bodies in $\mathbb {R}^n$ with smaller hyperplane central sections necessarily have smaller volumes. It is known, that the answer is affirmative if $n\le 4$…

We show that if the Gauss Image Measure of submeasure $\lambda$ via convex body $K$ agrees with the Gauss Image Measure of $\lambda$ via convex body $L$, then the radial Gauss Image maps of their duals, are equal to each other almost…

Y. Benoist proved that if a closed three-manifold M admits an indecomposable convex real projective structure, then M is topologically the union along tori and Klein bottles of finitely many sub-manifolds each of which admits a complete…

Let $K$ and $L$ be origin-symmetric convex integer polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We study a discrete analogue of the Aleksandrov projection problem. If for every $u\in \mathbb{Z}^n$, the sets $(K\cap \mathbb{Z}^n)|u^\perp$ and $(L\cap…

Let $K$ be a convex body. It is known that, in general, if $K$ is a $k$-fold translative tile (for some positive integer $k$), then $K$ may not be a (onefold) translative tile. However, in this paper I will show that for every convex body…

Let X,Y be two Banach spaces ; in the first part of this work, we show that K(X,Y) contains a complemented copy of c0 if Y contains a copy of c0 and each bounded sequence in Y has a subsequece which is w* convergente. Afterward we obtain…

Let $K$ be a field, let $X$ be a connected smooth $K$-scheme and let $G,H$ be two smooth connected $K$-group schemes. Given $Y \to X$ a $G$-torsor and $Z \to Y$ an $H$-torsor, we study whether one can find an extension $E$ of $G$ by $H$ so…

We study the problem of invisibility for bodies with a mirror surface in the framework of geometrical optics. We show that for any two given directions it is possible to construct a two-dimensional fractal body invisible in these…

We study the following geometry problem: given a $2^n-1$ dimensional vector $\pi=\{\pi_S\}_{S\subseteq [n], S\ne \emptyset}$, is there an object $T\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ such that $\log(\mathsf{vol}(T_S))= \pi_S$, for all $S\subseteq [n]$,…

Let $1\leq i \leq k < n$ be integers. We prove the following exact inequalities for any convex body $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ with centroid at the origin, and any $k$-dimensional subspace $E\subset \mathbb{R}^n$: \begin{align*} &V_i \big(…

We introduce combinatorial types of arrangements of convex bodies, extending order types of point sets to arrangements of convex bodies, and study their realization spaces. Our main results witness a trade-off between the combinatorial…

The statement of Lemma 3.1 in the published paper is not correct. Lemma 3.1 is needed for the proof of Theorem 3.2. Theorem 3.2 as originally stated is true but its "proof" is not correct. Here we change the statements and proofs of Lemma…

The main result is a direct proof of the implication $(LVKF_{k,3})\Rightarrow( LT_{3k-1,3})$ below. Consider the following statements: ($LVKF_{1,3}$) From any 11 points in $ \mathbb{R}^{3}$ one can choose 3 pairwise disjoint triples whose…

We prove that for any $n\in \mathbb{N}$ there is a convex body $K\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ whose surface area is at most $n^{\frac12+o(1)}$, yet the translates of $K$ by the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}^n$ tile $\mathbb{R}^n$.

Let $H_d$ denote the smallest integer $n$ such that for every convex body $K$ in $\Re^d$ there is a $0<\lambda < 1$ such that $K$ is covered by $n$ translates of $\lambda K$. In the book \emph{Research problems in discrete geometry.} by…

This paper proves the following statement: {\it If a convex body can form a twofold translative tiling in $\mathbb{E}^3$, it must be a parallelohedron.} In other words, it must be a parallelotope, a hexagonal prism, a rhombic dodecahedron,…

In this paper we deal with problems concerning the volume of the convex hull of two "connecting" bodies. After a historical background we collect some results, methods and open problems, respectively.
