In this paper we motivate some new directions of research regarding the lattice width of convex bodies. We show that convex bodies of sufficiently large width contain a unimodular copy of a standard simplex. This implies that every lattice…
The purpose of this paper is to study convex bodies $C$ for which there exists no convex body $C^\prime\subsetneq C$ of the same lattice width. Such bodies shall be called ``lattice reduced'', and they occur naturally in the study of the…
A variant of the flatness problem from integer programming is studied, in which one considers convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with at most $k$ interior lattice points. The maximum lattice width of such a body is denoted by Flt(d,k) and it…
Let $G$ be a subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}(\mathbb{R}^{d+1})\ltimes\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ obtained by adding a translation part to a torsion-free discrete subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}(\mathbb{R}^{d+1})$ dividing a convex cone in the sense of Benoist. We…
This paper studies a general notion of flatness in the enriched context: P-flatness where the parameter P stands for a class of presheaves. One obtains a completion of a category A by considering the category Flat_P(A) of P-flat presheaves…
An orbit polytope is the convex hull of an orbit under a finite group $G \leq \operatorname{GL}(d,\mathbb{R})$. We develop a general theory of possible affine symmetry groups of orbit polytopes. For every group, we define an open and dense…
Let $X$ and $S$ be complex spaces with $X$ countable at infinity and $S$ reduced locally pure dimensional. Let $\pi:X\to S$ be an universally-$n$-equidimensional morphism (i.e open with constant pure $n$-dimensional fibers). If there is a…
Convex sets arising in a variety of applications are well-defined for every relevant dimension. Examples include the simplex and the spectraplex that correspond to probability distributions and to quantum states; combinatorial polytopes and…
We study a generalized boundary rigidity problem, which investigates whether the areas of embedded minimal surfaces can uniquely determine a Riemannian manifold with boundary. We prove that for a conformal perturbation of an analytic metric…
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…
We call the $\delta$-vector of an integral convex polytope of dimension $d$ flat if the $\delta$-vector is of the form $(1,0,\ldots,0,a,\ldots,a,0,\ldots,0)$, where $a \geq 1$. In this paper, we give the complete characterization of…
Suppose that $f$ belongs to a suitably defined complete metric space $ {{\cal C}}^{{\alpha}}$ of H\"older $ {\alpha}$-functions defined on $[0,1]$. We are interested in whether one can find large (in the sense of Hausdorff, or lower/upper…
Given an affine variety X and a finite dimensional vector space of regular functions L on X, we associate a convex body to (X, L) such that its volume is responsible for the number of solutions of a generic system of functions from L. This…
It is classically known that complete flat surfaces in Euclidean 3-space are cylinders over space curves. This implies that the study of global behaviour of flat surfaces requires the study of singular points as well. If a flat surface $f$…
A classical theorem of Fritz John allows one to describe a convex body, up to constants, as an ellipsoid. In this article we establish similar descriptions for generalized (i.e. multidimensional) arithmetic progressions in terms of proper…
In this article and its sequel we discuss the asymptotic structure of space-times representing isolated bodies in General Relativity. Such space-times are usually required to be asymptotically flat (AF), and thus to have a prescribed type…
As in other partial differential equations, one ends up with some arbitrary constants or arbitrary functions when one integrates Einstein's equations, or more generally field equations of any other gravity. Interpretation of these arbitrary…
Uniformly perfect measures are a common generalisation of Ahlfors regular measures, self-conformal measures on the line, and their push-forwards under sufficiently regular maps. We show that every uniformly perfect measure $\sigma$ on a…
A set $\mathcal{S}$ of points in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is called a rationally parameterisable hypersurface if $\mathcal{S}=\{\boldsymbol{\sigma}(\mathbf{t}): \mathbf{t} \in D\}$, where $\boldsymbol{\sigma}: \mathbb{R}^{n-1} \rightarrow…
In this paper we develop a theory of convexity for a free Abelian group M (the lattice of integer points), which we call theory of discrete convexity. We characterize those subsets X of the group M that could be call "convex". One property…
