The isoperimetric problem with a density or weighting seeks to enclose prescribed weighted volume with minimum weighted perimeter. According to Chambers' recent proof of the log-convex density conjecture, for many densities on…

In this short paper, an older Efron's result is extended to obtain a cutting plane integral formula for the mean volume of a random simplex in any d dimensions.

We introduce the space $X$ of quaternion hermitian forms of size $n$ on a ${\mathfrak p}$-adic field with odd residual characteristic, and define typical spherical functions $\omega(x;s)$ on $X$ and give their induction formula on sizes by…

It is argued that important information on the emergence of space is hidden at the quark/hadron level. The arguments follow from the acceptance of the conception that space is an attribute of matter. They involve in particular the…

If $(M^n, g)$ is a closed Riemannian manifold where every unit ball has volume at most $\epsilon_n$ (a sufficiently small constant), then the $(n-1)$-dimensional Uryson width of $(M^n, g)$ is at most 1.

We define the ``volume'' contained by pointed $k$-surfaces, first studied by the author in [9], and we show that this volume is always finite. Likewise, we show that the surface area of a pointed $k$-surface is always finite.

It is shown how new integral-geometric formulae can be obtained from the existing formulae of Crofton type. In particular, for classical Crofton formulae in which the answer depends on the Riemannian volume, we obtain generalizations in…

The spherical Fourier transform on a harmonic Hadamard manifold $(X^n, g)$ of positive volume entropy is studied. If $(X^n, g)$ is of hypergeometric type, namely spherical functions of $X$ are represented by the Gauss hypergeometric…

The authors showed in a preceding paper that in a connected locally harmonic manifold, the volume of a tube of small radius about a regularly parameterized simple arc depends only on the length of the arc and the radius. In this paper, we…

We consider nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws, posed on a differential (n+1)-manifold with boundary referred to as a spacetime, and in which the "flux" is defined as a flux field of n-forms depending on a parameter (the unknown…

This paper develops second variational formulas and index forms in the context of Hermitian geometry. Building upon these analytical foundations, we establish results analogous to classical theorems in Riemannian geometry, including Myers'…

We introduce the volume function for hermitian invertible sheaves on an arithmetic variety as an analogue of the geometric volume function. The main result of this paper is the continuity of the arithmetic volume function. As a consequence,…

We solve a very classical problem motivated by considerations in quantum gravity: providing a description of the geometry of a Euclidean tetrahedron from the initial data of the areas of the faces and the areas of the medial parallelograms…

We study hyper-spheres, spheres and circles, with respect to an indefinite metric, in a tangent space on a 4-dimensional differentiable manifold. The manifold is equipped with a positive definite metric and an additional tensor structure of…

Let $M$ be a compact $n$-manifold of $\operatorname{Ric}_M\ge (n-1)H$ ($H$ is a constant). We are concerned with the following space form rigidity: $M$ is isometric to a space form of constant curvature $H$ under either of the following…

Motivated by Elementary Problem B-1172 in the Fibonacci Quarterly (vol. 53, no. 3, pg. 273), formulas for the areas of triangles and other polygons having vertices with coordinates taken from various sequences of integers are obtained. The…

We consider closed biharmonic hypersurfaces in the Euclidean sphere and prove a rigidity result under a suitable condition on the scalar curvature. Moreover, we establish an integral formula involving the position vector for biharmonic…

We define an invariant, which we call surface-complexity, of closed 3-manifolds by means of Dehn surfaces. The surface-complexity of a manifold is a natural number measuring how much the manifold is complicated. We prove that it fulfils…

We investigate the ``generalized Heron polynomial'' that relates the squared area of an n-gon inscribed in a circle to the squares of its side lengths. For a (2m+1)-gon or (2m+2)-gon, we express it as the defining polynomial of a certain…

We study the Crofton's formula in the Lorentzian AdS$_3$ and find that the area of a generic space-like two dimensional surface is given by the flux of space-like geodesics. The "complexity=volume" conjecture then implies a new holographic…
