The paper deals with fine volume growth estimates on metric measures spaces supporting various Sobolev-type inequalities. Given a generic metric measure space, we first prove a quantitative volume growth of metric balls under the validity…

In ["Illumination of convex bodies with many symmetries", Mathematika 63 (2017)], Tikhomirov verified the Hadwiger-Boltyanski Illumination Conjecture for the class of 1-symmetric convex bodies of sufficiently large dimension. We propose an…

We give the sharp lower bound of the volume product of $n$-dimensional convex bodies which are invariant under a discrete subgroup $SO(K)=\{ g \in SO(n); g(K)=K \}$, where $K$ is an $n$-cube or $n$-simplex. This provides new partial results…

A two-dimensional body moves through a rarefied medium; the collisions of the medium particles with the body are absolutely elastic. The body performs both translational and slow rotational motion. It is required to select the body, from a…

This article is a survey of recent results on slicing inequalities for convex bodies. The focus is on the setting of arbitrary measures in place of volume.

A $\lambda$-convex body in a three-dimensional space form $M^3(c)$ of constant curvature $c$ is a compact convex set $K$ whose boundary $\partial K$ has normal curvatures bounded below by a constant $\lambda>0$ (in a weak sense). Within…

We explore inequalities on linear extensions of posets and make them effective in different ways. First, we study the Bj\"orner--Wachs inequality and generalize it to inequalities on order polynomials and their $q$-analogues via direct…

We revisit an ingenious argument of K. Ball to provide sharp estimates for the volume of sections of a convex body in John's position. Our technique combines the geometric Brascamp-Lieb inequality with a generalised Parseval-type identity.…

We show that the perimeter of the convex hull of finitely many disks lying in the hyperbolic or Euclidean plane, or in a hemisphere does not increase when the disks are rearranged so that the distances between their centers do not increase.…

If the complement of a closed convex set in a closed convex cone is bounded, then this complement minus the apex of the cone is called a coconvex set. Coconvex sets appear in singularity theory (they are closely related to Newton diagrams)…

We prove several inequalities estimating the distance between volumes of two bodies in terms of the maximal or minimal difference between areas of sections or projections of these bodies. We also provide extensions in which volume is…

We prove an exponential deviation inequality for the convex hull of a finite sample of i.i.d. random points with a density supported on an arbitrary convex body in $\R^d$, $d\geq 2$. When the density is uniform, our result yields rate…

We resolve a conjecture of Kalai relating approximation theory of convex bodies by simplicial polytopes to the face numbers and primitive Betti numbers of these polytopes and their toric varieties. The proof uses higher notions of…

The Brunn-Minkowski theory in convex geometry concerns, among other things, the volumes, mixed volumes, and surface area measures of convex bodies. We study generalizations of these concepts to Borel measures with density in…

Many classical geometric inequalities on functionals of convex bodies depend on the dimension of the ambient space. We show that this dimension dependence may often be replaced (totally or partially) by different symmetry measures of the…
