We generalize the notion of moment-angle manifold over a simple convex polytope to an arbitrary nice manifold with corners. For a nice manifold with corners Q, we first compute the stable decomposition of the moment-angle manifold Z_Q via a…
Magnitude is a numerical invariant of compact metric spaces, originally inspired by category theory and now known to be related to myriad other geometric quantities. Generalizing earlier results in $\ell_1^n$ and Euclidean space, we prove…

Polyhedral-type approximations of convex-like domains in $\mathbb{C}^d$ have been considered recently by the second author. In particular, the decay rate of the error in optimal volume approximation as a function of the number of facets has…
Random union sets $Z$ associated with stationary Poisson processes of $k$-cylinders in $\mathbb{R}^d$ are considered. Under general conditions on the typical cylinder base a concentration inequality for the volume of $Z$ restricted to a…
We prove results relative to the problem of finding sharp bounds for the affine invariant $P(K)=V(\Pi K)/V^{d-1}(K)$. Namely, we prove that if $K$ is a 3-dimensional zonoid of volume 1, then its second projection body $\Pi^2K$ is contained…
We establish formulas that give the intrinsic volumes, or curvature measures, of sublevel sets of functions defined on Riemannian manifolds as integrals of functionals of the function and its derivatives. For instance, in the Euclidean…
We observe stationary random tessellations $X=\{\Xi_n\}_{n\ge1}$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ through a convex sampling window $W$ that expands unboundedly and we determine the total $(k-1)$-volume of those $(k-1)$-dimensional manifold processes which…
We consider the k-folded sine-Gordon model, obtained from the usual version by identifying the scalar field after k periods of the cosine potential. We examine (1) the ground state energy split, (2) the lowest lying multi-particle state…
Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a complex projective manifold of dimension $n$ defined over the reals and let $M$ denote its real locus. We study the vanishing locus $Z\_{s\_d}$ in $M$ of a random real holomorphic section $s\_d$ of $\mathcal{E}…
We introduce a simple geometrical construction similar to covariant holographic entanglement entropy but with the addition of a new term proportional to boundary region volume. This new procedure has properties strongly resembling classical…
In this paper we present several results on the expected complexity of a convex hull of $n$ points chosen uniformly and independently from a convex shape. (i) We show that the expected number of vertices of the convex hull of $n$ points,…
In this paper, we present a geometric description of foams, which are prevalent in topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) based on quantum algebra, and reciprocally explore the geometry of Rozansky-Witten (RW) theory from an algebraic…
Intrinsic volumes, which generalize both Euler characteristic and Lebesgue volume, are important properties of $d$-dimensional sets. A random cubical complex is a union of unit cubes, each with vertices on a regular cubic lattice,…
The convex hull of several i.i.d. beta distributed random vectors in $\mathbb R^d$ is called the random beta polytope. Recently, the expected values of their intrinsic volumes, number of faces, normal and tangent angles and other quantities…

Generalizing the slicing inequality for functions on convex bodies from [11], it was proved in [4] that there exists an absolute constant $c$ so that for any $n\in \mathbb N$, any $q\in [0,n-1)$ which is not an odd integer, any…
