Given $L$ a convex body, the $L_p$-Busemann Random Simplex Inequality is closely related to the centroid body $\Gamma_p L$ for $p=1$ and $2$, and only in these cases it can be proved using the $L_p$-Busemann-Petty centroid inequality. We…

For $-1<p<1$ we introduce the concept of a polar $p$-centroid body ${\Gamma^*_p K}$ of a star body $K$. We consider the question of whether ${\Gamma^*_p K}\subset {\Gamma^*_p L}$ implies $\mathrm{vol}(L)\le \mathrm{vol}(K).$ Our results…

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 introduce a new volume definition on normed vector spaces. We show that the induced $k$-area functionals are convex for all $k$. In the particular case $k=2$, our theorem implies that Busemann's 2-volume density is convex, which was…

We consider $k$-dimensional central sections of the unit ball of $\ell_p^n$ (denoted $B_p^n$) and we prove that their volume are bounded by the volume of $B_p^n$ whenever $1<p<2$ and $1\le k\le (n-1)/2$ or $k=n-1$. We also consider $0<p<1$…

A classical inequality by Gr\"unbaum provides a sharp lower bound for the ratio $\mathrm{vol}(K^{-})/\mathrm{vol}(K)$, where $K^{-}$ denotes the intersection of a convex body with non-empty interior $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ with a halfspace…

A sharp quantitative version of the $L_p-$mixed volume inequality is established. This is achieved by exploiting an improved Jensen inequality. This inequality is a generalization of Pinsker-Csisz\'ar-Kullback inequality for the Tsallis…

A comparison problem for volumes of convex bodies asks whether inequalities $f_K(\xi)\le f_L(\xi)$ for all $\xi\in S^{n-1}$ imply that $\vol_n(K)\le \vol_n(L),$ where $K,L$ are convex bodies in $\R^n,$ and $f_K$ is a certain geometric…

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…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb R^n$. We introduce a new affine invariant, which we call $\Omega_K$, that can be found in three different ways: as a limit of normalized $L_p$-affine surface areas, as the relative entropy of the cone…

We consider the problem of comparing the volumes of two star bodies in an even-dimensional euclidean space $\mathbb R^{2n} = \mathbb C^n$ by comparing their cross sectional areas along complex lines (special 2-dimensional real planes)…

This paper is dedicated to study the sine version of polar bodies and establish the $L_p$-sine Blaschke-Santal\'{o} inequality for the $L_p$-sine centroid body. The $L_p$-sine centroid body $\Lambda_p K$ for a star body…

We derive a formula connecting the derivatives of parallel section functions of an origin-symmetric star body in R^n with the Fourier transform of powers of the radial function of the body. A parallel section function (or (n-1)-dimensional…

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…

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…

Busemann-Petty type problems for the recently introduced complex projection, centroid and $L_p$-intersection body operators are examined. Moreover, it is shown that, as their real counterparts, they can be linked to the spherical Fourier…

The Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin symmetric convex bodies in $\R^n$ with smaller hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller volume. The answer is affirmative if $n\leq 3$ and negative if $n\geq 4.$ We consider a class of…

We consider a functional $\mathcal F$ on the space of convex bodies in $\R^n$ defined as follows: ${\mathcal F}(K)$ is the integral over the unit sphere of a fixed continuous functions $f$ with respect to the area measure of the convex body…

We provide an affirmative answer to a variant of the Busemann-Petty problem, proposed by V.~Milman: Let $K$ be a convex body in ${\mathbb R}^n$ and let $D$ be a compact subset of ${\mathbb R}^n$ such that, for some $1\ls k\ls n-1$,…

The classical Busemann-Petty problem (1956) asks, whether origin-symmetric convex bodies in $\mathbb {R}^n$ with smaller hyperplane central sections necessarily have smaller volumes. It is known, that the answer is affirmative if $n\le 4$…
