In an earlier paper \cite{mazeng} the authors introduced the notion of curvature entropy, and proved the plane log-Minkowski inequality of curvature entropy under the symmetry assumption. In this paper we demonstrate the plane log-Minkowski…

We investigate the weighted $L_p$ affine surface areas which appear in the recently established $L_p$ Steiner formula of the $L_p$ Brunn Minkowski theory. We show that they are valuations on the set of convex bodies and prove isoperimetric…

Lutwak, Yang and Zhang \cite{LYZ2018} introduced the $L_p$ dual curvature measure that unifies several other geometric measures in dual Brunn-Minkowski theory and Brunn- Minkowski theory. Motivated by works in \cite{LYZ2018}, we consider…

We compare two approaches to Ricci curvature on non-smooth spaces, in the case of the discrete hypercube $\{0,1\}^N$. While the coarse Ricci curvature of the first author readily yields a positive value for curvature, the displacement…

Let $K$ be a smooth, origin-symmetric, strictly convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$. If for some $\ell\in GL(n,\mathbb{R})$, the anisotropic Riemannian metric $\frac{1}{2}D^2 \Vert\cdot\Vert_{\ell K}^2$, encapsulating the curvature of $\ell K$,…

In this paper, we apply various methods to establish the uniqueness of solutions to some classes of anisotropic and isotropic curvature problems. Firstly, by employing integral formulas derived by S. S. Chern \cite{Ch59}, we obtain the…

Lutwak's affine quermassintegral theory is a foundational component of modern affine Brunn--Minkowski theory. Developed in the 1980s, it provides affine analogues of the classical quermassintegrals and has led to a rich family of sharp…

Log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality was conjectured by Bor\"oczky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang \cite{BLYZ}, and it states that a certain strengthening of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality is admissible in the case of symmetric convex sets. It…

The general dual volume $\dveV(K)$ and the general dual Orlicz curvature measure $\deV(K, \cdot)$ were recently introduced for functions $G: (0, \infty)\times \sphere\rightarrow (0, \infty)$ and convex bodies $K$ in $\R^n$ containing the…

We introduce f-divergence, a concept from information theory and statistics, for convex bodies in R^n. We prove that f-divergences are SL(n) invariant valuations and we establish an affine isoperimetric inequality for these quantities. We…

The affine quermassintegrals associated to a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$ are affine-invariant analogues of the classical intrinsic volumes from the Brunn-Minkowski theory, and thus constitute a central pillar of affine convex geometry.…

Employing a local version of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality, we give a new and simple proof of a result due to Andrews, Choi and Daskalopoulos that the origin-centred balls are the only closed, self-similar solutions of the Gauss curvature…

For $\phi$ a metric on the anticanonical bundle, $-K_X$, of a Fano manifold $X$ we consider the volume of $X$ $$ \int_X e^{-\phi}. $$ We prove that the logarithm of the volume is concave along bounded geodesics in the space of positively…

The Minkowski problem in convex geometry concerns showing that a given Borel measure on the unit sphere is, up to perhaps a constant, some type of surface area measure of a convex body. Two types of Minkowski problems in particular are an…
