We consider $d$-dimensional random vectors $Y_1,\dots,Y_n$ that satisfy a mild general position assumption a.s. The hyperplanes \begin{align*} (Y_i-Y_j)^\perp\;\; (1\le i<j\le n). \end{align*} generate a conical tessellation of the…

Given a root system, the Weyl chambers in the co-weight lattice give rise to a real toric variety, called the real toric variety associated to the Weyl chambers. We compute the integral cohomology groups of real toric varieties associated…

Intrinsic volumes, which generalize both Euler characteristic and Lebesgue volume, are important properties of $d$-dimensional sets. A random cubical complex is a union of unit cubes, each with vertices on a regular cubic lattice,…

Let $X$ be a nonsingular complex projective surface. The Weyl and Zariski chambers give two interesting decompositions of the big cone of $X$. We study these two decompositions and determine when a Weyl chamber is contained in the interior…

Any Riemannian manifold has a canonical collection of valuations (finitely additive measures) attached to it, known as the intrinsic volumes or Lipschitz-Killing valuations. They date back to the remarkable discovery of H. Weyl that the…

We deduce explicit formulae for the intrinsic volumes of an ellipsoid in $\mathbb R^d$, $d\ge 2$, in terms of elliptic integrals. Namely, for an ellipsoid ${\mathcal E}\subset \mathbb R^d$ with semiaxes $a_1,\ldots, a_d$ we show that…

We explicitly compute the intrinsic volume of the set of real (and real symmetric) matrices of Frobenius norm one and given corank (the case of matrices with zero determinant as a special case). We give asymptotic formulas for our…

This paper is about conic intrinsic volumes and their associated integral geometry. We pay special attention to the biconic localizations of the conic intrinsic volumes, the so-called support measures. An analysis of these quantities has so…

We compute the rational Betti numbers of the real toric varieties associated to Weyl chambers of types $E_7$ and $E_8$, completing the computations for all types of root systems.

For any closed smooth Riemannian manifold H. Weyl has defined a sequence of numbers called today intrinsic volumes. They include volume, Euler characteristic, and integral of the scalar curvature. We conjecture that absolute values of all…

We compute the intrinsic volumes of the cone of positive semidefinite matrices over the real numbers, over the complex numbers, and over the quaternions, in terms of integrals related to Mehta's integral. Several applications for the…

We compute the (rational) Betti number of real toric varieties associated to Weyl chambers of type $B$. Furthermore, we show that their integral cohomology is $p$-torsion free for all odd primes $p$.

In 1939 Weyl showed that the volume of spherical tubes around compact submanifolds M of Euclidean space depends solely on the induced Riemannian metric on M. Can this intrinsic nature of the tube volume be preserved for tubes with more…

Zariski chambers are natural pieces into which the big cone of an algebraic surface decomposes. They have so far been studied both from a geometric and from a combinatorial perspective. In the present paper we complement the picture with a…

The intrinsic volumes are measures of the content of a convex body. This paper uses probabilistic and information-theoretic methods to study the sequence of intrinsic volumes of a convex body. The main result states that the intrinsic…
