Moduli spaces of hyperbolic surfaces may be endowed with a symplectic structure via the Weil-Petersson form. Mirzakhani proved that Weil-Petersson volumes exhibit polynomial behaviour and that their coefficients store intersection numbers…
We prove the following sparse approximation result for polytopes. Assume that $Q$ is a polytope in John's position. Then there exist at most $2d$ vertices of $Q$ whose convex hull $Q'$ satisfies $Q \subseteq - 2d^2 \, Q'$. As a consequence,…
Let $M$ be a projective toric manifold. We prove two results concerning respectively Kaehler-Einstein submanifolds of M and symplectic embeddings of the standard euclidean ball in M. Both results use the well-known fact that M contains an…
We prove a variety of explicit formulas relating special values of generalized hypergeometric functions to lattice sums with four indices of summation. These results are related to Boyd's conjectured identities between Mahler measures and…
The convex body isoperimetric conjecture in the plane asserts that the least perimeter to enclose given area inside a unit disk is greater than inside any other convex set of area $\pi$. In this note we confirm two cases of the conjecture:…
Every convex body K in R^n has a coordinate projection PK that contains at least vol(0.1 K) cells of the integer lattice PZ^n, provided this volume is at least one. Our proof of this counterpart of Minkowski's theorem is based on an…
The isoperimetric problem with a density or weighting seeks to enclose prescribed weighted area with minimum weighted perimeter. According to Chambers' recent proof of the Log Convex Density Conjecture, for many densities on $\mathbb{R}^n$…
A generalized hyperbolic tetrahedra is a polyhedron (possibly non-compact) with finite volume in hyperbolic space, obtained from a tetrahedron by the polar truncation at the vertices lying outside the space. In this paper it is proved that…
We provide a formula to compute the volume of the intersection of a generalized cylinder with a hyperplane. Then we prove an integral inequality involving Bessel functions similar to Keith Ball's well-known inequality. Using this inequality…
In this paper we deal with generalizations of the Mahler volume product for log-concave functions. We show that the polarity transform $\mathcal A$ can be rescaled so that the Mahler product it induces has upper and lower bounds of the same…
We consider the Ehrhart $h^*$-vector for the hypersimplex. It is well-known that the sum of the $h_i^*$ is the normalized volume which equals an Eulerian numbers. The main result is a proof of a conjecture by R. Stanley which gives an…
We prove the conjectural formula for the $L^2$ volume of the space of degree $r$ holomorphic maps from a compact K\"ahler Riemann surface of genus $b$ to $\pk$. This formula was posed in \cite{Ba} and rigorously verified in \cite{Sp} for a…
We give a method for computing upper and lower bounds for the volume of a non-obtuse hyperbolic polyhedron in terms of the combinatorics of the 1-skeleton. We introduce an algorithm that detects the geometric decomposition of good…
We discuss symplectic and hyperk\"ahler implosion and present candidates for the symplectic duals of the universal hyperk\"ahler implosion for various groups.
In this note, we estimate the upper bound of volume of closed positively or nonnegatively curved Alexandrov space $X$ with strictly convex boundary. We also discuss the equality case. In particular, the Boundary Conjecture holds when the…
Weighted cone-volume functionals are introduced for the convex polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^n$. For these functionals, geometric inequalities are proved and the equality conditions are characterized. A variety of corollaries are derived,…
In [1], Theorem 3, the authors proved, in one dimension, a generalization of the Hopf Lemma, and the question arose if it could be extended to higher dimensions. In this paper we present two conjectures as possible extensions, and give a…
This is an introduction to the Volume Conjecture and its generalizations for nonexperts. The Volume Conjecture states that a certain limit of the colored Jones polynomial of a knot would give the volume of its complement. If we deform the…
We prove the non-symmetric Mahler conjecture in dimension three. More precisely, we prove the sharp lower bound \[ \mathcal P(K) \geq \frac{64}{9} \] for every convex body $K \subset \mathbb R^3$, where $\mathcal P(K)$ denotes the…
We review our construction of the Teichm\"uller TQFT. We recall our volume conjecture for this TQFT and the examples for which this conjecture has been established. We end the paper with a brief review of our new formulation of the…
