Motivated by the central limit problem for convex bodies, we study normal approximation of linear functionals of high-dimensional random vectors with various types of symmetries. In particular, we obtain results for distributions which are…

We solve a long-standing open problem posed by Goodman \& Pollack in 1988 by establishing a necessary and sufficient condition for a family of convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ to admit a $k$-transversal for any $0 \le k \le d-1$. This result…

Under a mild technical assumption, we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for a totally real compacdt set in $\mathbb{C}^n$ to be rationally convex. This generalizes a classical result of Duval-Sibony

Chv\'{a}tal and Klincsek (1980) gave an $O(n^3)$-time algorithm for the problem of finding a maximum-cardinality convex subset of an arbitrary given set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane. This paper examines a generalization of the problem,…

A convex subset X of a linear topological space is called compactly convex if there is a continuous compact-valued map $\Phi:X\to exp(X)$ such that $[x,y]\subset\Phi(x)\cup \Phi(y)$ for all $x,y\in X$. We prove that each convex subset of…

The aim of this note is to survey the results in some geometric problems related to the centroids and the static equilibrium points of convex bodies. In particular, we collect results related to Gr\"unbaum's inequality and the…

We construct a convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n \geq 5$, with the property that there is exactly one hyperplane $H$ passing through $c(K)$, the centroid of $K$, such that the centroid of $K\cap H$ coincides with $c(K)$. This provides…

In this paper we construct explicit examples that show the sublevel sets of the solution of a $k$-Hessian equation defined on a convex ring do not have to be convex.

Assuming Calabi symmetry, we prove that a numerical condition ensures the solvability of the complex Hessian quotient equation, as conjectured by Sz\'ekelyhidi. We also propose a conjecture on the existence of a $k$-subharmonic…

In a normed linear space X an element x is said to be orthogonal to another element y in the sense of Birkhoff-James, written as $ x \perp_{B}y, $ iff $ \| x \| \leq \| x + \lambda y \| $ for all scalars $ \lambda.$ We prove that a normed…

We prove the analogue of Helly's theorem for systolic complexes. Namely, we show that 7-systolic complexes have Helly dimension less or equal to 1, whereas 6-systolic complexes have Helly dimension bounded from the above by 2.

Suppose that $K \subseteq \RR^d$ is a 0-symmetric convex body which defines the usual norm $$ \Norm{x}_K = \sup\Set{t\ge 0: x \notin tK} $$ on $\RR^d$. Let also $A\subseteq\RR^d$ be a measurable set of positive upper density $\rho$. We show…

Existence of nicely bounded sections of two symmetric convex bodies K and L implies that the intersection of random rotations of K and L is nicely bounded. For L = subspace, this main result immediately yields the unexpected phenomenon: "If…
