We prove that, if $W \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is a locally strongly convex body (not necessarily compact), then for any open set $V \supset \partial W$ and $\varepsilon>0$, and $V \supset \partial W$ is open, then there exists a $C^2$ locally…
In this paper, the isodiametric problem for centrally symmetric convex bodies in the Euclidean d-space R^d containing no interior non-zero point of a lattice L is studied. It is shown that the intersection of a suitable ball with the…
We provide an estimate of the distance (in the dual flat seminorm) of the normal cycles of convex bodies with given Hausdorff distance. We also give an estimate (in the bounded Lipschitz metric) of the support measures of convex bodies.
A lattice is called well-rounded, if its lattice vectors of minimal length span the ambient space. We show that there are interesting connections between the existence of well-rounded sublattices and coincidence site lattices (CSLs).…
A convex polyhedron, that is, a compact convex subset of $\mathbb{R}^3$ which is the intersection of finitely many closed half-spaces, can be rectified by taking the convex hull of the midpoints of the edges of the polyhedron. We derive…
For a pseudoconvex tube domain, we prove estimates that relate the sublevel sets of its diagonal Bergman kernel to the floating bodies of its convex base. This allows us to associate a new affine invariant to any convex body.
We will use new data from the High-resolution Coronal Imager (Hi-C) with unprecedented spatial resolution of the solar corona to investigate the structure of coronal loops down to 0.2 arcsec. During a rocket flight Hi-C provided images of…
We consider triangle faced convex polyhedra inscribed in the unit sphere $S^2$ in ${\Bbb{R}}^3$. One way of measuring their deviation from regular polyhedra with triangular faces is to consider the quotient of the lengths of the longest and…
A spherical two-distance set is a finite collection of unit vectors in $\reals^n$ such that the set of distances between any two distinct vectors has cardinality two. We use the semidefinite programming method to compute improved estimates…
We provide a reformulation of the hyperplane conjecture (the slicing problem) in terms of the floating body and give upper and lower bounds on the logarithmic Hausdorff distance between an arbitrary convex body $K\subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$\…
The Fermat-Weber center of a planar body $Q$ is a point in the plane from which the average distance to the points in $Q$ is minimal. We first show that for any convex body $Q$ in the plane, the average distance from the Fermat-Weber center…
We derive bounds on the volume of an inclusion in a body in two or three dimensions when the conductivities of the inclusion and the surrounding body are complex and assumed to be known. The bounds are derived in terms of average values of…
The Mahler volume of a centrally symmetric convex body K is defined as M(K)= (Vol K)(Vol K^dual). Mahler conjectured that this volume is minimized when K is a cube. We introduce the bottleneck conjecture, which stipulates that a certain…
Little known relations of the renown concept of the halfspace depth for multivariate data with notions from convex and affine geometry are discussed. Halfspace depth may be regarded as a measure of symmetry for random vectors. As such, the…
Polytopes are the basic finite data structures for convex sets: they appear as feasible regions in linear optimization, as geometric summaries in algorithms, and as random objects in stochastic geometry. A natural geometric question is…
We generalize the ham sandwich theorem for the case of well separated measures. Given convex bodies $K_1,...,K_d$ in $\mathbb{R_d}$ and numbers $\alpha_1,...,\alpha_d \in [0, 1]$, we give a sufficient condition for existence and uniqueness…
We show that learning a convex body in $\RR^d$, given random samples from the body, requires $2^{\Omega(\sqrt{d/\eps})}$ samples. By learning a convex body we mean finding a set having at most $\eps$ relative symmetric difference with the…
We prove various estimates for the mean square lattice point discrepancy for dilates of a convex body.
In this paper we show that a spherical convex body $C$ is of constant diameter $\tau$ if and only if $C$ is of constant width $\tau$, for $0<\tau<\pi$. Moreover, some applications to Wulff shapes are given.
A ball polyhedron is the intersection of a finite number of closed balls in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with the same radius. In this note, we study ball polyhedra in which the set of centers defining the balls have the maximum possible number of…
