Under certain conditions, a $(1+1)$-dimensional slice $\hat{g}$ of a spherically symmetric black hole spacetime can be equivariantly embedded in $(2+1)$-dimensional Minkowski space. The embedding depends on a real parameter that corresponds…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ have minimal Gaussian surface area among all sets satisfying $\Omega=-\Omega$ with fixed Gaussian volume. Let $A=A_{x}$ be the second fundamental form of $\partial\Omega$ at $x$, i.e. $A$ is the matrix of…

We consider the problem $F=f(\nu)$ for strictly convex, closed hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space and solve it for curvature functions $F$ the inverses of which are of class $(K^*)$.

The Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin-symmetric convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smaller central hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller $n$-dimensional volume. It is known that the answer to this problem is affirmative if…

We outline a new method suggested by Conway (2016) for solving the two-body problem for solid bodies of spheroidal or ellipsoidal shape. The method is based on integrating the gravitational potential of one body over the surface of the…

We review part of the classical theory of curves and surfaces in $3$-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space. We focus in spacelike surfaces with constant mean curvature pointing the differences and similarities with the Euclidean space.

We generalize the hyperplane inequality in dimensions up to 4 to the setting of arbitrary measures in place of the volume. To prove this generalization we establish stability in the affirmative part of the solution to the Busemann-Petty…

We consider a fully nonlinear partial differential equation associated to the intermediate $L^p$ Christoffel-Minkowski problem in the case $1<p<k+1$. We establish the existence of convex body with prescribed $k$-th even $p$-area measure on…

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…

In this paper we generalize in Lorentz-Minkowski space $\l^3$ the two-dimensional analogue of the catenary of Euclidean space. We solve the Dirichlet problem for bounded mean convex domains and spacelike boundary data that have a spacelike…

We consider a series of optimal control problems with 2-dimensional control lying in an arbitrary convex compact set $\Omega$. The considered problems are well studied for the case when $\Omega$ is a unit disc, but barely studied for…

Let $n\geq 3$, and let $B_1^n$ be the standard $n$-dimensional cross-polytope (i.e. the convex hull of standard coordinate vectors and their negatives). We show that there exists a symmetric convex body $\mathcal G_m$ in ${\mathbb R}^n$…
