Suppose that $f$ belongs to a suitably defined complete metric space $ {{\cal C}}^{{\alpha}}$ of H\"older $ {\alpha}$-functions defined on $[0,1]$. We are interested in whether one can find large (in the sense of Hausdorff, or lower/upper…

In spaces of nonpositive curvature the existence of isometrically embedded flat (hyper)planes is often granted by apparently weaker conditions on large scales. We show that some such results remain valid for metric spaces with non-unique…

Let $m(G)$ be the infimum of the volumes of all open subgroups of a unimodular locally compact group $G$. Suppose integrable functions $\phi_1 , \phi_2 \colon G \to [0,1]$ satisfy $\| \phi_1 \| \leq \| \phi_2 \|$ and $\| \phi_1 \| + \|…

A new intrinsic volume metric is introduced for the class of convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$. As an application, an inequality is proved for the asymptotic best approximation of the Euclidean unit ball by arbitrarily positioned polytopes…

John's fundamental theorem characterizing the largest volume ellipsoid contained in a convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ has seen several generalizations and extensions. One direction, initiated by V. Milman is to replace ellipsoids by…

We show that a non-compact (forward) complete Finsler manifold whose Holmes- Thompson volume is infinite admits no non-trivial convex functions. We apply this result to some Finsler manifolds whose Busemann function is convex.

In 1960, Gr\"{u}nbaum proved that for any convex body $C\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ and every halfspace $H$ containing the centroid of $C$, one has that the volume of $H\cap C$ is at least a $\frac{1}{e}$-fraction of the volume of $C$. Recently,…

In this note we examine the volume of the convex hull of two congruent copies of a convex body in Euclidean $n$-space, under some subsets of the isometry group of the space. We prove inequalities for this volume if the two bodies are…

Counting interior-disjoint empty convex polygons in a point set is a typical Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres-type problem. We study this problem for 4-gons. Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane and in general position. A subset $Q$ of $P$, with…
