The renormalized volume is a smooth function associating to every convex co-compact hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$ a real number. When the boundary of $M$ is incompressible, the renormalized volume is always positive, otherwise there are…

Let A be a bounded subset of IR^d. We give an upper bound on the volume of the symmetric difference of A and f(A) where f is a translation, a rotation, or the composition of both, a rigid motion. The volume is measured by the d-dimensional…
We obtain some sharp estimates for the $p$-torsion of convex planar domains in terms of their area, perimeter, and inradius. The approach we adopt relies on the use of web functions (i.e. functions depending only on the distance from the…

For a probability measure on a real separable Hilbert space, we are interested in "volume-based" approximations of the d-dimensional least squares error of it, i.e., least squares error with respect to a best fit d-dimensional affine…
Let $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ be i.i.d.\ random points in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space sampled according to one of the following probability densities: $$ f_{d,\beta} (x) = \text{const} \cdot (1-\|x\|^2)^{\beta}, \quad \|x\|\leq 1, \quad…
In monotone submodular function maximization, approximation guarantees based on the curvature of the objective function have been extensively studied in the literature. However, the notion of curvature is often pessimistic, and we rarely…
