This work studies the Fourier transform of the characteristic function of planar convex bodies averaged over affine transformations. We establish lower and upper bounds on the latter quantities in terms of the geometric properties of the…

We characterize the valuations on the space of quasi-concave functions defined on the $N$-dimensional Euclidean space, that are rigid motion invariant and continuous with respect to a suitable topology. Among them we also provide a specific…

We give a functional version of the affine isoperimetric inequality for log-concave functions which may be interpreted as an inverse form of a logarithmic Sobolev inequality inequality for entropy. A linearization of this inequality gives…

We introduce extremal affine surface areas in a functional setting. We show their main properties. Among them are linear invariance, isoperimetric inequalities and monotonicity properties. We establish a new duality formula, which shows…

In this article, we further explore convex functions by revealing new bounds, resulting from stronger convexity behavior. In particular, we define the so called radical convex functions and study their properties. We will see that such…

Asymptotic results for weighted floating bodies are established and used to obtain new proofs for the existence of floating areas on the sphere and in hyperbolic space and to establish the existence of floating areas in Hilbert geometries.…

We investigate weighted floating bodies of polytopes. We show that the weighted volume depends on the complete flags of the polytope. This connection is obtained by introducing flag simplices, which translate between the metric and…

We prove bounds for the covering numbers of classes of convex functions and convex sets in Euclidean space. Previous results require the underlying convex functions or sets to be uniformly bounded. We relax this assumption and replace it…

Convex sets appear in various mathematical theories, and are used to define notions such as convex functions and hulls. As an abstraction from the usual definition of convex sets in vector spaces, we formalize in Coq an intrinsic…

When restricted to a subspace, a nonsmooth function can be differentiable. It is known that for a nonsmooth convex function f and a point x, the Euclidean space can be decomposed into two subspaces: U, over which a special Lagrangian can be…

We study a new construction of bodies from a given convex body in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ which are isomorphic to (weighted) floating bodies. We establish several properties of this new construction, including its relation to $p$-affine surface…

Mixed $f$-divergences, a concept from information theory and statistics, measure the difference between multiple pairs of distributions. We introduce them for log concave functions and establish some of their properties. Among them are…

We introduce an (equi-)affine invariant diffusion geometry by which surfaces that go through squeeze and shear transformations can still be properly analyzed. The definition of an affine invariant metric enables us to construct an invariant…

In this article we utilise abstract convexity theory in order to unify and generalize many different concepts from nonsmooth analysis. We introduce the concepts of abstract codifferentiability, abstract quasidifferentiability and abstract…

This paper's origins are in two papers: One by Colesanti and Fragal\`a studying the surface area measure of a log-concave function, and one by Cordero-Erausquin and Klartag regarding the moment measure of a convex function. These notions…

In a work by Artstein-Avidan and Milman the concept of polarity is generalized from the class of convex bodies to the larger class of convex functions. While the only self-polar convex body is the Euclidean ball, it turns out that there are…

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…
