If $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ is a convex body and $\Gamma_pK$ is the $p$-centroid body of $K$, the $L_p$ Busemann-Petty centroid inequality states that $\vol(\Gamma_pK) \geq \vol(K)$, with equality if and only if $K$ is an ellipsoid centered…
Interpolating between the classic notions of intersection and polar centroid bodies, (real) $L_p$-intersection bodies, for $-1<p<1$, play an important role in the dual $L_p$-Brunn--Minkowski theory. Inspired by the recent construction of…
Consider some convex body $K\subset\mathbb R^d$. Let $X_1,\dots, X_k$, where $k\leq d$, be random points independently and uniformly chosen in $K$, and let $\xi_k$ be a uniformly distributed random linear $k$-plane. We show that for…
We prove new versions of the isomorphic Busemann-Petty problem for two different measures and show how these results can be used to recover slicing and distance inequalities. We also prove a sharp upper estimate for the outer volume ratio…
Schneider introduced an inter-dimensional difference body operator on convex bodies and proved an associated inequality. In the prequel to this work, we showed that this concept can be extended to a rich class of operators from convex…
We show that the $\Lp$ Busemann-Petty centroid inequality provides an elementary and powerful tool to the study of some sharp affine functional inequalities with a geometric content, like log-Sobolev, Sobolev and Gagliardo-Nirenberg…
We present a method which shows that in $\Eb$ the Busemann-Petty problem, concerning central sections of centrally symmetric convex bodies, has a positive answer. Together with other results, this settles the problem in each dimension.
We prove several estimates for the moments of arbitrary measures on convex bodies. We apply these estimates to show a new slicing inequality for measures on convex bodies. We also deduce estimates for the outer volume ratio distance from an…
We re-confirm, for the case of the unit p-ball of R^n, one of recent conjectures of G.Kuperberg on centrally symmetric convex bodies.This conjecture was very recently confirmrd for this particular case by D.A.Gutierrez using polygamma…
The classical Petty projection inequality is an affine isoperimetric inequality which constitutes a cornerstone in the affine geometry of convex bodies. By extending the polar projection body to an inter-dimensional operator, Petty's…
Sharp Lp affine isoperimetric inequalities are established for the entire class of Lp projection bodies and the entire class of Lp centroid bodies. These new inequalities strengthen the Lp Petty projection and the Lp Busemann--Petty…
We establish a family of isoperimetric inequalities for sets that interpolate between intersection bodies and dual Lp centroid bodies. This provides a bridge between the Busemann intersection inequality and the Lutwak--Zhang inequality. The…
We introduce complex intersection bodies and show that their properties and applications are similar to those of their real counterparts. In particular, we generalize Busemann's theorem to the complex case by proving that complex…
The Petty projection inequality is a fundamental affine isoperimetric principle for convex sets. It has shaped several directions of research in convex geometry which forged new connections between projection bodies, centroid bodies, and…
We establish sharp affine weighted $L^p$ Sobolev type inequalities by using the $L_p$ Busemann-Petty centroid inequality proved by Lutwak, Yang and Zhang. Our approach consists in combining in a convenient way the latter one with a suitable…
To any $n$-dimensional random vector $X$ we may associate its $L_p$-centroid body ${\cal Z}_p(X)$ and the corresponding norm. We formulate a conjecture concerning the bound on the ${\cal Z}_p(X)$-norm of $X$ and show that it holds under…
We prove that if a convex body has absolutely continuous surface area measure, whose density is sufficiently close to the constant, then the sequence $\{\Pi^mK\}$ of convex bodies converges to the ball with respect to the Banach-Mazur…
Several years ago the authors started looking at some problems of convex geometry from a more general point of view, replacing volume by an arbitrary measure. This approach led to new general properties of the Radon transform on convex…
The aim of this paper is to study properties of sections of convex bodies with respect to different types of measures. We present a formula connecting the Minkowski functional of a convex symmetric body K with the measure of its sections.…
The lower dimensional Busemann-Petty problem asks, whether n-dimensional centrally symmetric convex bodies with smaller i-dimensional central sections necessarily have smaller volumes. The paper contains a complete solution to the problem…
