In noncommutative probability theory independence can be based on free products instead of tensor products. This yields a highly noncommutative theory: free probability . Here we show that the classical Shannon's entropy power inequality…

We derive quantitative stability results for Minkowski bodies, as well as their counterparts, the $L_p$-Minkowski bodies in the range $1 \le p \neq n$. We prove that, for every pair of probability measures $\mu,\nu$ satisfying a…

We give a systematic and thorough study of geometric notions and results connected to Minkowski's measure of symmetry and the extension of the well-known Minkowski functional to arbitrary, not necessarily symmetric convex bodies K on any…

We propose to derive deviation measures through the Minkowski gauge of a given set of acceptable positions. We show that, given a suitable acceptance set, any positive homogeneous deviation measure can be accommodated in our framework. In…

Consider an unlimited homogeneous medium disturbed by points generated via Poisson process. The neighborhood of a point plays an important role in spatial statistics problems. Here, we obtain analytically the distance statistics to $k$th…

Aleksandrov, and then Zeeman, showed that the causal relations among the set of points in a Minkowski space of dimension greater than 2 determine the Minkowski space structure of the set up to a global conformal factor. We show that in any…

We revisit the geometrical meaning of statistical isotropy that is manifest in excursion sets of smooth random fields in two dimensions. Using the contour Minkowski tensor, $\W_1$, as our basic tool we first examine geometrical properties…

The article builds on several recent advances in the Monge-Kantorovich theory of mass transport which have -- among other things -- led to new and quite natural proofs for a wide range of geometric inequalities such as the ones formulated…

We derive a number of inequalities involving L\^e numbers of non-isolated hypersurface singularities. In particular, we derive L\^e-Iomdine formulas with inequalities and use these, together with Teissier's Minkowski inequalities for…

In this paper, we first investigate weighted Minkowski type inequalities for nearly spherical sets in space forms, focusing on the sets that are $C^1$-close to geodesic spheres. Our results generalize the work of \cite{G22} by incorporating…
