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…

One of the most important problems in Geometric Tomography is to establish properties of a given convex body if we know some properties over its sections or its projections. There are many interesting and deep results that provide…

We investigate the asymptotic best approximation of a smooth, strictly convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ by inscribed polytopes with a restricted number of vertices under the intrinsic volume difference. We prove rigidity phenomena in both…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ have minimal Gaussian surface area among all sets satisfying $\Omega=-\Omega$ with fixed Gaussian volume. Let $A=A_{x}$ be the second fundamental form of $\partial\Omega$ at $x$, i.e. $A$ is the matrix of…

Generalizing results by Valette, Zamfirescu and Laczkovich, we will prove that a convex body $K$ is a polytope if there are sufficiently many tilings which contain a tile similar to $K$. Furthermore, we give an example that this can not be…

Let M be a smooth strictly convex closed surface in space and denote by H the set of points x in the exterior of M such that all the tangent segments from x to M have equal lengths. In this note we prove that if H is either a closed surface…

We review the theory of intrinsic geometry of convex surfaces in the Euclidean space and prove the following theorem: if the surface of a convex body K contains arbitrary long closed simple geodesics, then K is an isosceles tetrahedron.

A polytope $P$ is circumscribed about a convex body $\Phi\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ if $\Phi\subset P$ and each facet of $P$ is contained in a support hyperplane of $\Phi$. We say that a convex body $\Phi\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is a rotor of a…

In this paper we address the reverse isoperimetric inequality for convex bodies with uniform curvature constraints in the hyperbolic plane $\mathbb{H}^2$. We prove that the\textit{ thick $\lambda$-sausage} body, that is, the convex domain…

We give the sharp lower bound of the volume product of $n$-dimensional convex bodies which are invariant under a discrete subgroup $SO(K)=\{ g \in SO(n); g(K)=K \}$, where $K$ is an $n$-cube or $n$-simplex. This provides new partial results…

An orbitope is the convex hull of an orbit of a compact group acting linearly on a vector space. These highly symmetric convex bodies lie at the crossroads of several fields, in particular convex geometry, optimization, and algebraic…

A circle C holds a convex body K if C does not meet the interior of K and if there does not exist any euclidean displacement which moves C as far as desired from K, avoiding the interior of K. The purpose of this note is to explore how…

Let $K\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 3$, be a convex body. A point $p$ the interior of $K$ is said to be a Larman point of $K$ if for every hyperplane $\Pi$ passing through $p$ the section $\Pi\cap K$ has a $(n-2)$-plane of symmetry. If $p$…

Polytopes are the basic finite data structures for convex sets: they appear as feasible regions in linear optimization, as geometric summaries in algorithms, and as random objects in stochastic geometry. A natural geometric question is…

Let K be a convex body in $R^d$. A random polytope is the convex hull $[x_1,...,x_n]$ of finitely many points chosen at random in K. $\Bbb E(K,n)$ is the expectation of the volume of a random polytope of n randomly chosen points. I.…
