It is proved that every convex body in the plane has a point such that the union of the body and its image under reflection in the point is convex. If the body is not centrally symmetric, then it has, in fact, three affinely independent…
A homothetic packing of squares is any set of various-size squares with the same orientation where no two squares have overlapping interiors. If all $n$ squares have the same size then we can have up to roughly $4n$ contacts by arranging…
Let us have in S^2, R^2 or H^2 a pair of convex bodies, for S^2 different from S^2, such that the intersections of any congruent copies of them are centrally symmetric. Then our bodies are congruent circles. If the intersections of any…
It is well known that any planar convex body $A$ permits to inscribe an affine-regular hexagon $H_A$. We prove that the centroid of $A$ belongs to the homothetic image of $H_A$ with ratio $\frac{4}{21}$ and the center in the center of…
Answering a question of F\"uredi and Loeb (1994), we show that the maximum number of pairwise intersecting homothets of a $d$-dimensional centrally symmetric convex body $K$, none of which contains the center of another in its interior, is…
In this note we study the expected value of certain symplectic capacities of randomly rotated centrally symmetric convex bodies in the classical phase space.
We prove that geodesic balls centered at some base point are isoperimetric in the real hyperbolic space $H_{\mathbb R}^n$ endowed with a smooth, radial, strictly log-convex density on the volume and perimeter. This is an analogue of the…
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…
We show that smooth and strongly convex bodies in the symplectic $\mathbb R^{2n}$ for $n>1$ with all characteristics planar, or all outer billiard trajectories planar are affine symplectic images of balls.
A Riemannian manifold is called harmonic if its volume density function expressed in polar coordinates centered at any point is radial. Flat and rank-one symmetric spaces are harmonic. The converse (the Lichnerowicz Conjecture) is true for…
This work revolves around the two following questions: Given a convex body $C\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, a positive integer $k$ and a finite set $S\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ (or a finite Borel measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$), how many homothets of $C$…
Symmetric edge polytopes are a recent and well-studied family of centrally symmetric polytopes arising from graphs. In this paper, we introduce a generalization of this family to arbitrary simplicial complexes. We show how topological…
We study harmonic bundles with an additional structure called symplectic structure. We study them for the case of the base manifold is compact and non-compact. For the compact case, we show that a harmonic bundle with a symplectic structure…
We show that for any Minkowski centered planar convex compact set $C$ the Harmonic mean of $C$ and $-C$ can be optimally contained in the arithmetic mean of the same sets if and only if the Minkowski asymmetry of $C$ is at most the golden…
Answering a question of Conway and Guy in a 1968 paper, L\'angi in 2021 proved the existence of a monostable polyhedron with $n$-fold rotational symmetry for any $n \geq 3$, and arbitrarily close to a Euclidean ball. In this paper we…
The article considers the problem of existence and uniqueness of centrally symmetrical convex body for which the projection curvature radius function coincides with a given flag function. A necessary and sufficient condition is found that…
The Centre Symmetry Set of a planar curve $M$ is the envelope of affine chords of $M$, i.e. the lines joining points on $M$ with parallel tangent lines. In this paper we study global geometrical properties of this set including the number…
A subset of the d-dimensional Euclidean space having nonempty interior is called a spindle convex body if it is the intersection of (finitely or infinitely many) congruent d-dimensional closed balls. The spindle convex body is called a…
A convex body is unconditional if it is symmetric with respect to reflections in all coordinate hyperplanes. In this paper, we investigate unconditional lattice polytopes with respect to geometric, combinatorial, and algebraic properties.…
Given a symmetric convex body $C$ and $n$ hyperplanes in an Euclidean space, there is a translate of a multiple of $C$, at least ${1\over n+1}$ times as large, inside $C$, whose interior does not meet any of the hyperplanes. The result…
