The section volume function $A_K(\xi,t), \ \xi \in \mathbb R^n, \ t \in \mathbb R,$ of a body $K \subset \mathbb R^n$ evaluates the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of the cross-section $K$ by the hyperplane $\{ x \cdot \xi=t \}.$ We are…

In the paper "Isoperimetry of waists and local versus global asymptotic convex geometries", it was proved that the existence of nicely bounded sections of two symmetric convex bodies K and L implies that the intersection of randomly rotated…

We bound the volume of the homotopy groups of the 2-local Goodwillie approximations of a sphere in terms of the amount of $2$-torsion in the stable stems, providing a Goodwillie-theoretic refinement of a result of Burklund and Senger…

Given a point set $S$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, a family of sets is $S$-intersecting if its members have a point in common in $S$. Recently, Edwards and Sober\'{o}n proved a fractional version of Halman's theorem for axis-parallel boxes, showing…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of $n$ axis-parallel boxes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $\alpha\in (1-1/d,1]$ a real number. There exists a real number $\beta(\alpha )>0$ such that if there are $\alpha {n\choose 2}$ intersecting pairs in…

In this paper we study generalizations of classical results on intersection patterns of set systems in $\mathbb{R}^d$, such as the fractional Helly theorem or the $(p,q)$-theorem, in the setting of arbitrary triangulable spaces with a…

Gr\"unbaum's inequality guarantees that the centroid of a convex body has halfspace depth at least $1/e$: every halfspace containing the centroid captures at least a $1/e$ fraction of the body's volume. For mixed-integer convex sets…

We revisit an ingenious argument of K. Ball to provide sharp estimates for the volume of sections of a convex body in John's position. Our technique combines the geometric Brascamp-Lieb inequality with a generalised Parseval-type identity.…

Given an $n$-dimensional convex body by a membership oracle in general, it is known that any polynomial-time deterministic algorithm cannot approximate its volume within ratio $(n/\log n)^n$. There is a substantial progress on randomized…
