We consider various equivalence relations on the set of homotopy classes of curves on a hyperbolic surface based on topological, algebraic, and geometric structures. The purpose of this work is to determine the relationship between these…

Motivated by a question of R.\ Nandakumar, we show that the Euclidean plane can be dissected into mutually incongruent convex quadrangles of the same area and the same perimeter. As a byproduct we obtain vertex-to-vertex dissections of the…

We present a concise proof for the supporting hyperplane theorem. We then observe that the proof not only establishes the supporting hyperplane theorem but also extends it to a hyperplane separation theorem for certain non-convex sets. The…

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…

A packing of translates of a convex body in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^d$ is said to be totally separable if any two packing elements can be separated by a hyperplane of $\mathbb{E}^{d}$ disjoint from the interior of…

We prove the log-Brunn-Minkowski conjecture for convex bodies with symmetries to $n$ independent hyperplanes, and discuss the equality case and the uniqueness of the solution of the related case of the logarithmic Minkowski problem. We also…

Suppose that $A$ is a convex body in the plane and that $A_1,\dots,A_n$ are translates of $A$. Such translates give rise to an intersection graph of $A$, $G=(V,E)$, with vertices $V=\{1,\dots,n\}$ and edges $E=\{uv\mid A_u\cap A_v\neq…

We discuss connections between certain well-known open problems related to the uniform measure on a high-dimensional convex body. In particular, we show that the "thin shell conjecture" implies the "hyperplane conjecture". This extends a…

This article is a survey of recent results on slicing inequalities for convex bodies. The focus is on the setting of arbitrary measures in place of volume.

We define a class of $L$-convex-concave subsets of $\mathbb{R}P^3$, where $L$ is a projective line in $\mathbb{R}P^3$. These are sets whose sections by any plane containing $L$ are convex and concavely depend on this plane. We prove a…

We consider systems of linear partial differential equations, which contain only second and first derivatives in the $x$ variables and which are uniformly parabolic in the sense of Petrovski\v{\i} in the layer ${\mathbb R}^n\times [0,T]$.…

We study the relationship between the masses and the geometric properties of central configurations. We prove that in the planar four-body problem, a convex central configuration is symmetric with respect to one diagonal if and only if the…

Let $K$ be a convex body in Euclidean space ${\mathbb R}^d$, and let a translation invariant, locally finite Borel measure on the space of hyperplanes in ${\mathbb R}^d$ be given. For $\delta\ge 0$, we consider the set of all points $x$ for…

We consider uniformly strongly elliptic systems of the second order with bounded coefficients. First, sufficient conditions for the invariance of convex bodies obtained for linear systems without zero order term in bounded domains and…

The relationship between convex geometry and algebraic geometry has deep historical roots, tracing back to classical works in enumerative geometry. In this paper, we continue this theme by studying two interconnected problems regarding…

In this paper we discuss some affine properties of convex equal-area polygons, which are convex polygons such that all triangles formed by three consecutive vertices have the same area. Besides being able to approximate closed convex smooth…

For convex partitions of a convex body $B$ we prove that we can put a homothetic copy of $B$ into each set of the partition so that the sum of homothety coefficients is $\ge 1$. In the plane the partition may be arbitrary, while in higher…

Topological data analysis asks when balls in a metric space $(X,d)$ intersect. Geometric data analysis asks how much balls have to be enlarged to intersect. We connect this principle to the traditional core geometric concept of curvature.…

In light of the log-Brunn-Minkowski conjecture, various attempts have been made to define the geometric mean of convex bodies. Many of these constructions are fairly complex and/or fail to satisfy some natural properties one would expect of…

Let X be a normed linear space. We examine if every open, convex and unbounded subset of X is equal to the union of a family of open straight half lines. The answer is affirmative if and only if X is finite dimensional.
