The classical Minkowski problem in Minkowski space asks, for a positive function $\phi$ on $\mathbb{H}^d$, for a convex set $K$ in Minkowski space with $C^2$ space-like boundary $S$, such that $\phi(\eta)^{-1}$ is the Gauss--Kronecker…
Integral representations are obtained of positive additive functionals on finite products of the space of continuous functions (or of bounded Borel functions) on a compact Hausdorff space. These are shown to yield characterizations of the…
The multiscale simulation of heterogeneous materials is a popular and important subject in solid mechanics and materials science due to the wide application of composite materials. However, the classical FE2 (finite element2) scheme can be…
The classical Minkowski inequality implies that the volume of a bounded convex domain is controlled from above by the integral of the mean curvature of its boundary. In this note, we establish an analogous inequality without the convexity…
The volume operator plays a central role in both the kinematics and dynamics of canonical approaches to quantum gravity which are based on algebras of generalized Wilson loops. We introduce a method for simplifying its spectral analysis,…
Some Stein manifolds (with a volume form) have a large group of (volume-preserving) automorphisms: this is formalized by the (volume) density property, which has remarkable consequences. Until now all known manifolds with the volume density…
We introduce a novel definition for a small set R of k points being "representative" of a larger set in a metric space. Given a set V (e.g., documents or voters) to represent, and a set C of possible representatives, our criterion requires…
This work rests upon the certainty that only fields of real and complex numbers, quaternions and octonions have algebras of all four arithmetical operations. Also quaternions are good to represent 3-dimensional Euclid space and…
Employing the algebraic framework of local quantum physics, vacuum states in Minkowski space are distinguished by a property of geometric modular action. This property allows one to construct from any locally generated net of observables…
The regular representation of an essentially finite 2-group $\mathbb{G}$ in the 2-category $\mathbf{2Vect}_k$ of (Kapranov and Voevodsky) 2-vector spaces is defined and cohomology invariants classifying it computed. It is next shown that…
We prove an extension of Milnor-Wood inequalities to a geometric situation. We study representations of the fundamental group of a compact manifold into the isometry group of a product of rank one spaces of the same dimension and show an…
Volume approximation is an important problem found in many applications of computer graphics, vision, and image processing. The problem is about computing an accurate and compact approximate representation of 3D volumes using some simple…
In this note, we study the differentiability of the arithmetic volumes along arithmetic R-divisors, and give some equality conditions for the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for arithmetic volumes over the cone of nef and big arithmetic…
We consider spacelike surfaces in the four-dimensional Minkowski space and introduce geometrically an invariant linear map of Weingarten-type in the tangent plane at any point of the surface under consideration. This allows us to introduce…
We prove several estimates for the volume, mean width, and the value of the Wills functional of sections of convex bodies in John's position, as well as for their polar bodies. These estimates extend some well-known results for convex…
The purpose of this paper is devoted to studying representation of measures of non generalized compactness, in particular, measures of noncompactness, of non-weak compactness, and of non-super weak compactness, etc, defined on Banach spaces…
For any complete and noncompact manifold $M$ with $\mathrm{Ric}\ge 0$, we define a function $\mathrm{RV}(s)$ that describes the growth of relative volume asymptotically $$\mathrm{RV}(s)=\limsup_{r\to\infty} \dfrac{\mathrm{vol}…
The minimal volume of a closed manifold $M$ is the infimum of the volume of $(M,g)$ over all metrics $g$ with sectional curvature between $-1$ and $1$. We introduce a variant called the essential minimal volume, $\mathrm{ess-Minvol}(M)$,…
We survey elementary results in Minkowski spaces (i.e. finite dimensional Banach spaces) that deserve to be collected together, and give simple proofs for some of them. We place special emphasis on planar results. Many of these results have…
We introduce surface Minkowski tensors to characterize rotational symmetries of shapes embedded in curved surfaces. The definition is based on a modified vector transport of the shapes boundary co-normal into a reference point which…
