We consider the problem $F=f(\nu)$ for strictly convex, closed hypersurfaces in $S^{n+1}$ and solve it for curvature functions $F$ the inverses of which are of class $(K)$.

This paper introduces the \textit{anisotropic $\omega_0$-capillary $p$-sum} of two hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}_+^{n+1}$, and establishes a theory for anisotropic capillary convex bodies. For a smooth convex hypersurface $\Sigma $ with…

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…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb R^n$. We prove that in small codimensions, the sections of a convex body through the centroid are quite symmetric with respect to volume. As a consequence of our estimates we give a positive answer to a…

On any timelike surface with zero mean curvature in the four-dimensional Minkowski space we introduce special geometric (canonical) parameters and prove that the Gauss curvature and the normal curvature of the surface satisfy a system of…

We consider convex sets whose modulus of convexity is uniformly quadratic. First, we observe several interesting relations between different positions of such ``2-convex'' bodies; in particular, the isotropic position is a finite…

The geometry of 2D Minkowski spacetime $\mathbb{R}^{1,1}$ (or Minkowski plane) is similar but fundamentally different from the more familiar Euclidean plane geometry. This note gives an elementary discussion on some basic properties of a…

In this paper, we study the relation of the sign of the Gaussian and mean curvature of modular surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski $3$-space to the zeroes of the associated complex analytic functions and its derivatives. Further, we completely…

We prove that the unit sphere is the only smooth, strictly convex solution to the isotropic $L_p$ dual Minkowski problem \begin{align*} h^{p-1} |D h|^{n+1-q}\mathcal{K}=1, \end{align*} provided $(p,q)\in (-n-1,-1]\times [n,n+1)$.

The normal map given by Birkhoff orthogonality yields extensions of principal, Gaussian and mean curvatures to surfaces immersed in three-dimensional spaces whose geometry is given by an arbitrary norm and which are also called Minkowski…

The space of Gaussian measures on a Euclidean space is geodesically convex in the $L^2$-Wasserstein space. This space is a finite dimensional manifold since Gaussian measures are parameterized by means and covariance matrices. By…

We discuss notions of Gauss curvature and mean curvature for polyhedral surfaces. The discretizations are guided by the principle of preserving integral relations for curvatures, like the Gauss/Bonnet theorem and the mean-curvature force…

We generalize the Fenchel theorem for strong spacelike closed curves of index $1$ in the 3-dimensional Minkowski space, showing that the total curvature must be less than or equal to $2\pi$. Here strong spacelike means that the tangent…

The convex body isoperimetric conjecture in the plane asserts that the least perimeter to enclose given area inside a unit disk is greater than inside any other convex set of area $\pi$. In this note we confirm two cases of the conjecture:…
