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.…

We generalize the hyperplane inequality in dimensions up to 4 to the setting of arbitrary measures in place of the volume. To prove this generalization we establish stability in the affirmative part of the solution to the Busemann-Petty…

Busemann's theorem states that the intersection body of an origin-symmetric convex body is also convex. In this paper we provide a version of Busemann's theorem for p-convex bodies. We show that the intersection body of a p-convex body is…

We establish new functional versions of the Blaschke-Santal\'o inequality on the volume product of a convex body which generalize to the non-symmetric setting an inequality of K. Ball and we give a simple proof of the case of equality. As a…

The generalized Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin-symmetric convex bodies with lower-dimensional smaller sections necessarily have smaller volume. We study the weighted version of this problem corresponding to the physical…

We show that the cone-volume measure of a convex body with centroid at the origin satisfies the subspace concentration condition. This implies, among others, a conjectured best possible inequality for the $\mathrm{U}$-functional of a convex…

The lower dimensional Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin-symmetric convex bodies in R^n with smaller volume of all k-dimensional sections necessarily have smaller volume. The answer is negative for k>3. The problem is still open for…

Let $m(G)$ be the infimum of the volumes of all open subgroups of a unimodular locally compact group $G$. Suppose integrable functions $\phi_1 , \phi_2 \colon G \to [0,1]$ satisfy $\| \phi_1 \| \leq \| \phi_2 \|$ and $\| \phi_1 \| + \|…

The first goal of this paper is to improve some of the results in \cite{BCPR}. Namely, we establish the $L_p$-Brunn-Minkwoski inequality for intrinsic volumes for origin-symmetric convex bodies that are close to the ball in the $C^2$ sense…

Let $ K $ be a convex body in $ \mathbb{R}^n $. We denote the volume of $ K $ by $ \vert K\vert $, and the polar body of its difference body $ K - K $ by $ (K - K)^{\circ} $. We provide a new proof of the well-known estimate \[ |K||(K -…

In this paper we consider the following analog of Bezout inequality for mixed volumes: $$V(P_1,\dots,P_r,\Delta^{n-r})V_n(\Delta)^{r-1}\leq \prod_{i=1}^r V(P_i,\Delta^{n-1})\ \text{ for }2\leq r\leq n.$$ We show that the above inequality is…

In 1921 Blichfeldt gave an upper bound on the number of integral points contained in a convex body in terms of the volume of the body. More precisely, he showed that $#(K\cap\Z^n)\leq n! \vol(K)+n$, whenever $K\subset\R^n$ is a convex body…

H. Busemann and C. M. Petty posed the following problem in 1956: If K and L are origin-symmetric convex bodies in R^n and for each hyperplane H through the origin the volumes of their central slices satisfy vol(K cap H) < vol(L cap H), does…

It is proved that for a symmetric convex body K in R^n, if for some tau > 0, |K cap (x+tau K)| depends on ||x||_K only, then K is an ellipsoid. As a part of the proof, smoothness properties of convolution bodies ls are studied.
