The classical result of Cauchy's surface area formula states that the surface area of the boundary $\partial K=\Sigma$ of any $n$-dimensional convex body in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be obtained by the average…

Cauchy's surface area formula says that for a convex body $K$ in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space the mean value of the $(n-1)$-dimensional volumes of the orthogonal projections of $K$ to hyperplanes is a constant multiple of the surface…

In this paper we study areas (called p-areas) and volumes for parametric surfaces in the 3D-Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}_1$, which is considered as a flat model of pseudo-hermitian manifolds. We derive the formulas of p-areas and volumes…

Cauchy's surface area formula expresses the surface area of a convex body as the average area of its orthogonal projections over all directions. While this tool is fundamental in Euclidean geometry, with applications ranging from geometric…

We give a short and simple proof of Cauchy's surface area formula, which states that the average area of a projection of a convex body is equal to its surface area up to a multiplicative constant in the dimension.

We prove the coarea formula for Lipschitz maps from the subriemannian $n$th Heisenberg group $\mathbb H_n$ to $\mathbb R^{2n}$. Our result is new even when $n=1$ and provides the simplest vector-valued instance of the coarea formula in…

This paper is devoted to exploring the relationship between the $[1,n)\ni p$-capacity and the surface-area in $\mathbb R^{n\ge 2}$ which especially shows: if $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$ is a convex, compact, smooth set with its interior…

We study immersed, connected, umbilic hypersurfaces in the Heisenberg group $H_{n}$ with $n$ $\geq $ $2.$ We show that such a hypersurface, if closed, must be rotationally invariant up to a Heisenberg translation. Moreover, we prove that,…

One primary objective in submanifold geometry is to discover fascinating and significant classical examples of $H_1$. In this paper which relies on the theory we established in [Adv. Math. 405 (2022), 08514, 50 pages, arXiv:2101.11780] and…

Given a function $\mathcal{H} \in C^1(\mathbb{S}^2)$, an $\mathcal{H}$-surface $\Sigma$ is a surface in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$ whose mean curvature $H_\Sigma$ satisfies $H_\Sigma = \mathcal{H} \circ \eta$, where $\eta$ is the…
