For a convex body on the Euclidean unit sphere the spherical convex floating body is introduced. The asymptotic behavior of the volume difference of a spherical convex body and its spherical floating body is investigated. This gives rise to…

Similarly to the classic notion in $E^d$, a subset of a positive diameter below $\frac{\pi}{2}$ of a hemisphere of the sphere $S^d$ is called complete, provided adding any extra point increases its diameter. Complete sets are convex bodies…

We present a survey article about the geometry of convex bodies on the $d$-dimensional sphere $S^d$. We concentrate on the results based on the notion of the width of a convex body $C \subset S^d$ determined by a supporting hemisphere of…

This is a survey of metric properties of non-Euclidean conics, mainly based on works of Chasles and Story. A spherical conic is the intersection of the sphere with a quadratic cone; similarly, a hyperbolic conic is the intersection of the…

Here is presented a concept of centrogeometry which can be seen as a combination of the concept of point-like observer with an idea of Poincar\'{e}'s that different geometries are principally equivalent. As it is to be shown later, all…

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…

Denote by $S^2$ the two-dimensional sphere. A spherical convex body on $S^2$ which does not properly contain a spherical convex body of the same spherical thickness is called a reduced body. We give three characterizations of reducedness of…

In this work we prove the following: let $K$ be a convex body in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 3$, contained in the interior of the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $p\in \mathbb{R}^n$ be a point such that, from each point…

In this work we prove the following result: Let $K$ be a strictly convex body in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n, n\geq 3$, and let $L$ be a hypersurface, which is the image of an embedding of the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$, such that $K$…

We study the problem of static, spherically symmetric, self-gravitating elastic matter distributions in Newtonian gravity. To this purpose we first introduce a new definition of homogeneous, spherically symmetric (hyper)elastic body in…

One of the most important problems in Geometric Tomography is to establish properties of a given convex body if we know some properties over its sections or its projections. There are many interesting and deep results that provide…

Using gnomonic projection and Poincar\'e model, we first define the spherical projection body and hyperbolic projection body in spherical space $\mathbb{S}^n$ and hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$, then define the spherical Steiner…

We carry out a systematic investigation on floating bodies in real space forms. A new unifying approach not only allows us to treat the important classical case of Euclidean space as well as the recent extension to the Euclidean unit…

In this article, we introduce and study the concept of $\textit{spherical-vectors}$, which can be perceived as a natural extension of the arguments of complex numbers in the context of quaternions. We initially establish foundational…

We survey many of the important properties of spherically symmetric spacetimes as follows. We present several different ways of describing a spherically symmetric spacetime and the resulting metrics. We then focus our discussion on an…

A spherical polyhedron surface is a triangulated surface obtained by isometric gluing of spherical triangles. For instance, the boundary of a generic convex polytope in the 3-sphere is a spherical polyhedron surface. This paper investigates…

In this paper, extending the work of Gal'perin (Comm. Math. Phys. 154: 63-84, 1993), we investigate generalizations of the concepts of centroids and static equilibrium points of a convex body in spherical, hyperbolic and normed spaces. In…
