We consider the problem of minimizing the relative perimeter under a volume constraint in an unbounded convex body $C\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, without assuming any further regularity on the boundary of $C$. Motivated by an example of an…

We extend the definition of the centroid body operator to an Orlicz--Lorentz centroid body operator on the star bodies in $\mathbb R^n$, and establish the sharp affine isoperimetric inequality that bounds (from below) the volume of the…

The Blaschke-Santal\'o Inequality is the assertion that the volume product of a centrally symmetric convex body in Euclidean space is maximized by (and only by) ellipsoids. In this paper we give a Fourier analytic proof of this fact.

This paper begins the study of relations between Riemannian geometry and contact topology in any dimension and continues this study in dimension 3. Specifically we provide a lower bound for the radius of a geodesic ball in a contact…

We present a spherical version of the theorem of Blaschke that every body of constant width $w < \frac{\pi}{2}$ can be approximated as well as we wish in the sense of the Hausdorff distance by a body of constant width $w$ whose boundary…

Upper and lower bounds are derived for the Gaussian mean width of the intersection of a convex hull of $M$ points with an Euclidean ball of a given radius. The upper bound holds for any collection of extreme point bounded in Euclidean norm.…

Let $\mu_p$ be the generalized Gaussian distribution on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with density $e^{-\frac{|x|^p}{p}}$ multiplied by a constant depending on $p\ge 1$ and $n$, and $\alpha_p(n)$ be the largest number such that the Brunn-Minkowski type…

A ball polyhedron is a finite intersection of congruent balls in $\mathbb{R}^3$. These shapes arise in various contexts in discrete and convex geometry. We focus on Reuleaux polyhedra, the subclass of ball polyhedra whose centers and…

We compute the baryon asymmetry in the Universe in the framework of the standard model with the only source of CP violation in the CKM matrix. Our result is within and very close to the theoretical limits for baryon asymmetry found in the…

We study the way in which the Euclidean subspaces of a Banach space fit together, somewhat in the spirit of the Ka\v{s}in decomposition. The main tool that we introduce is an estimate regarding the convex hull of a convex body in John's…

We prove that if for the curved $n$-body problem in $\mathbb{S}^{k-1}$, $k\geq 3$, the masses are given, the minimum distance between the point masses of a specific type of relative equilibrium solution that is a generalisation of positive…

We study the slicing inequality for the surface area instead of volume. This is the question whether there exists a constant $\alpha_n$ depending (or not) on the dimension $n$ so that $$S(K)\leq\alpha_n|K|^{\frac{1}{n}}\max_{\xi\in…

For a given convex body K in $R^d$, a random polytope $K^{(n)}$ is defined (essentially) as the intersection of $n$ independent closed halfspaces containing $K$ and having an isotropic and (in a specified sense) uniform distribution. We…

The Illumination Problem may be phrased as the problem of covering a convex body in Euclidean $n$-space by a minimum number of translates of its interior. By a probabilistic argument, we show that, arbitrarily close to the Euclidean ball,…

A classical theorem of Macbeath states that for any integers $d \geq 2$, $n \geq d+1$, $d$-dimensional Euclidean balls are hardest to approximate, in terms of volume difference, by inscribed convex polytopes with $n$ vertices. In this paper…

In contact geometry, a systolic inequality is a uniform upper bound on the shortest period of a closed Reeb orbit, in terms of the contact volume. We prove a general systolic inequality valid on Seifert bundles with non-zero Euler number…

In this paper we investigate the problem of multiple expanding Newtonian stars that interact via their gravitational effect on each other. It is clear physically that if two stars at rest are separated initially, and start expanding as well…

We prove that if for relative equilibrium solutions of a generalisation of the $n$-body problem of celestial mechanics the masses and rotation are given, then the minimum distance between the point masses of such a relative equilibrium has…

The complex Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin symmetric convex bodies in C^n with smaller central hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller volume. The answer is affirmative if n\leq 3 and negative if n\geq 4. In this article we…

The assumption of collisionless cold dark matter on its own cannot reconcile several astrophysical discrepancies (cusp-vs-core problem, missing satellite problem, too-big-to-fail problem). Self-interacting dark matter provides a promising…
