We show that the fundamental objects of the $L_p$-Brunn-Minkowski theory, namely the $L_p$-affine surface areas for a convex body, are closely related to information theory: they are exponentials of R\'enyi divergences of the cone measures…

We introduce f-divergence, a concept from information theory and statistics, for convex bodies in R^n. We prove that f-divergences are SL(n) invariant valuations and we establish an affine isoperimetric inequality for these quantities. We…

In contemporary convex geometry, the rapidly developing L_p-Brunn Minkowski theory is a modern analogue of the classical Brunn Minkowski theory. A cornerstone of this theory is the L_p-affine surface area for convex bodies. Here, we…

We prove an analogue of the classical Steiner formula for the $L_p$ affine surface area of a Minkowski outer parallel body for any real parameters $p$. We show that the classical Steiner formula and the Steiner formula of Lutwak's dual…

We prove new $L_p$ affine isoperimetric inequalities for all $ p \in [-\infty,1)$. We establish, for all $p\neq -n$, a duality formula which shows that $L_p$ affine surface area of a convex body $K$ equals $L_\frac{n^2}{p}$ affine surface…

The Orlicz-Brunn-Minkowski theory receives considerable attention recently, and many results in the $L_p$-Brunn-Minkowski theory have been extended to their Orlicz counterparts. The aim of this paper is to develop Orlicz $L_{\phi}$ affine…

The relationship between $L_p$ affine surface area and curvature measures is investigated. As a result, a new representation of the existing notion of $L_p$ affine surface area depending only on curvature measures is derived. Direct proofs…

Inspired by an $L_p$ Steiner formula for the $L_p$ affine surface area proved by Tatarko and Werner, we define, in analogy to the classical Steiner formula, $L_p$-Steiner quermassintegrals. Special cases include the classical mixed volumes,…

We prove new Alexandrov-Fenchel type inequalities and new affine isoperimetric inequalities for mixed $p$-affine surface areas. We introduce a new class of bodies, the illumination surface bodies, and establish some of their properties. We…

Three new combinations of convex bodies are introduced and studied: the $L_p$ fiber, $L_p$ chord and graph combinations. These combinations are defined in terms of the fibers and graphs of pairs of convex bodies, and each operation…

A classification of SL$(n)$ contravariant, continuous function valued valuations on convex bodies is established. Such valuations are natural extensions of SL$(n)$ contravariant $L_p$ Minkowski valuations, the classification of which…

The aim of this paper is to develop a basic framework of the $L_p$ theory for the geometry of log-concave functions, which can be viewed as a functional "lifting" of the $L_p$ Brunn-Minkowski theory for convex bodies. To fulfill this goal,…

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…

In this paper, we introduce several mixed $L_p$ geominimal surface areas for multiple convex bodies for all $p\neq -n$. Our definitions are motivated from an equivalent formula for the mixed $p$-affine surface area. Some properties, such as…

The Minkowski problem in convex geometry concerns showing that a given Borel measure on the unit sphere is, up to perhaps a constant, some type of surface area measure of a convex body. Two types of Minkowski problems in particular are an…

The Brunn-Minkowski theory in convex geometry concerns, among other things, the volumes, mixed volumes, and surface area measures of convex bodies. We study generalizations of these concepts to Borel measures with density in…
