A set of unit vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is a called a spherical two-distance set if the inner products of distinct vectors only take two values. In this paper, we give explicit correspondence between spherical two-distance sets and graphs…
We show that if $d\ge 4$ is even, then one can find two essentially different convex bodies such that the volumes of their maximal sections, central sections, and projections coincide for all directions.
The contact graph of a packing of translates of a convex body in Euclidean $d$-space $\mathbb E^d$ is the simple graph whose vertices are the members of the packing, and whose two vertices are connected by an edge if the two members touch…
The purpose of this paper is to study convex bodies $C$ for which there exists no convex body $C^\prime\subsetneq C$ of the same lattice width. Such bodies shall be called ``lattice reduced'', and they occur naturally in the study of the…
If K' and K are convex bodies of the plane such that K' is a subset of K then the perimeter of K' is not greater than the perimeter of K. We obtain the following generalization of this fact. Let K be a convex compact body of the plane with…
The radial mean bodies of parameter $p>-1$ of a convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb R^n$ are radial sets introduced in [4] by Gardner and Zhang. They are known to be convex for $p\geq 0$. We prove that if $K \subseteq \mathbb R^2$ is a convex…
In an Euclidean $d$-space, the container problem asks to pack $n$ equally sized spheres into a minimal dilate of a fixed container. If the container is a smooth convex body and $d\geq 2$ we show that solutions to the container problem can…
For a pseudoconvex tube domain, we prove estimates that relate the sublevel sets of its diagonal Bergman kernel to the floating bodies of its convex base. This allows us to associate a new affine invariant to any convex body.
Given a convex body $K\subset \mathbb R^2$ we say that a circle $\Omega\subset \text{int} \ K$ is an equipotential circle if every tangent line of $\Omega$ cuts a chord $AB$ in $K$ such that for the contact point $P=\Omega\cap AB$ it holds…
Spherical Designs are finite sets of points on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d}$ with the property that the average of certain (low-degree) polynomials in these points coincides with the global average of the polynomial on $\mathbb{S}^{d}$. They…
The goal of this paper is to present a lower bound for the Mahler volume of at least 4-dimensional symmetric convex bodies. We define a computable dimension dependent constant through a 2-dimensional variational (max-min) procedure and…
Many star bodies have convex subsets with approximately the same Gaussian measure (of the complement). Inspired by this phenomenon, and in connection with the randomized Dvoretzky theorem for Lorentz spaces, we derive bounds on the…
This work provides two sufficient conditions in terms of sections or projections for a convex body to be a polytope. These conditions are necessary as well.
For a hyperplane $H$ supporting a convex body $C$ in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^d$ we define the width of $C$ determined by $H$ as the distance between $H$ and a most distant ultraparallel hyperplane supporting $C$. The minimum width…
Three-dimensional central symmetric bodies different from spheres that can float in all orientations are considered. For relative density rho=1/2 there are solutions, if holes in the body are allowed. For rho different from 1/2 the body is…
The purpose of this paper is to study the reflections of a convex body. In particular, we are interested in orthogonal reflections of its sections that can be extended to reflections of the whole body. For this reason, we need to study the…
The set of points in a metric space is called an $s$-distance set if pairwise distances between these points admit only $s$ distinct values. Two-distance spherical sets with the set of scalar products $\{\alpha, -\alpha\}$,…
For a two-dimensional convex body, the Kovner-Besicovitch measure of symmetry is defined as the volume ratio of the largest centrally symmetric body contained inside the body to the original body. A classical result states that the…
A point set $M$ in Euclidean plane is called an integral point set in semi-general position if all the distances between the elements of $M$ are integers, and $M$ does not contain collinear triples. We improve the lower bound for diameter…
The purpose of this paper is to describe a new $3$-dimensional family of bodies of constant width that we have called peabodies, obtained from the Reuleaux tetrahedron by replacing a small neighborhood of all six edges with sections of an…
