Tverberg's theorem asserts that every (k-1)(d+1)+1 points in R^d can be partitioned into k parts, so that the convex hulls of the parts have a common intersection. Calder and Eckhoff asked whether there is a purely combinatorial deduction…

Carath\'eodory's, Helly's and Radon's theorems are three basic results in discrete geometry. Their max-plus counterparts have been proved by various authors. In this paper, more advanced results in discrete geometry are shown to have also…

Research on Helly-type theorems in combinatorial convex geometry has produced volumetric versions of Helly's theorem using witness sets and quantitative extensions of Doignon's theorem. This paper combines these philosophies and presents…

Two celebrated extensions of Helly's theorem are the Fractional Helly theorem of Katchalski and Liu (1979) and the Quantitative Volume theorem of B\'ar\'any, Katchalski, and Pach (1982). Improving on several recent works, we prove an…

There is the classical Radon theorem. Given integer $d \geq 1$ and $d+2$ points in d-dimensional space $R^d$. Then these points can be divided into two disjoint subsets whose convex hulls have a non-empty intersection. The original proof of…

We prove a new Radon type theorem for unions of convex sets, settling an open problem posed by Kalai in the 1970s. We also define and study an extension of the notion of the VC-dimension of a hypergraph and apply it to establish an…

It has been proved that the sup-norm of the Radon transform of an arbitrary probability density on an origin-symmetric convex body of volume 1 is bounded from below by a positive constant depending only on the dimension. In this note we…

We introduce a new variant of quantitative Helly-type theorems: the minimal \emph{"homothetic distance"} of the intersection of a family of convex sets to the intersection of a subfamily of a fixed size. As an application, we establish the…

We study the ``no-dimensional'' analogue of Helly's theorem in Banach spaces. Specifically, we obtain the following no-dimensional Helly-type results for uniformly convex Banach spaces: Helly's theorem, fractional Helly's theorem, colorful…

We introduce a notion of halfspace for Hadamard manifolds that is natural in the context of convex optimization. For this notion of halfspace, we generalize a classic result of Gr\"unbaum, which itself is a corollary of Helly's theorem.…

Qualitatively, a no-dimensional Helly-type theorem says that if every small subfamily of convex sets has a common point in a bounded region, then suitable neighborhoods of all the sets in the whole family have a common point. Quantitative…

We consider quantitative versions of Helly-type questions, that is, instead of finding a point in the intersection, we bound the volume of the intersection. Our first main geometric result is a quantitative version of the Fractional Helly…

We study properties of convex hulls of (co)adjoint orbits of compact groups, with applications to invariant theory and tensor product decompositions. The notion of partial convex hulls is introduced and applied to define two numerical…

We initiate the study of convex geometry over ordered hyperfields. We define convex sets and halfspaces over ordered hyperfields, presenting structure theorems over hyperfields arising as quotients of fields. We prove hyperfield analogues…

We show quantitative versions of classic results in discrete geometry, where the size of a convex set is determined by some non-negative function. We give versions of this kind for the selection theorem of B\'ar\'any, the existence of weak…

Let X be a separable Banach space and Y a space which has the Radon-Nikodym property. In this work, we show that L(X, Y) has the Radon-Nikodym property, if L(X, Y) is weakly locally uniformly convex or if L(X, Y) is a weakly compactly gen-…

In this paper we define the Radon-Nikodym class (RN class) of locally convex topological vector spaces. The RN class is characterized in terms of the Radon-Nikodym theorem for vector measures using integrable by seminorm derivatives. It is…

Let $E$ be a Banach space such that $E'$ has the Radon-Nikod\'ym property. The aim of this work is to connect relative weak compactness in the $E$-valued martingale Hardy space $H^{1}(\mu,E)$ to a convex compactness criterion in a weaker…

Weak radiative hyperon decays, important to test the strong interaction and relevant in searches for beyond the standard model physics, have remained puzzling both experimentally and theoretically for a long time. The recently updated…

For a square matrix, the range of its Rayleigh quotients is known as the numerical range, which is a compact and convex set by the Toeplitz-Hausdorff theorem. The largest value and the smallest boundary value (in magnitude) of this convex…
