We prove that Schur classes of nef vector bundles are limits of classes that have a property analogous to the Hodge-Riemann bilinear relations. We give a number of applications, including (1) new log-concavity statements about…

Given n convex bodies in the real space of dimension d, we consider the set of homogeneous polynomials of degree d in n variables that can be represented as their volume polynomial. This set is a subset of the set of Lorentzian polynomials.…

We prove sectional and Ricci-type comparison theorems for the existence of conjugate points along sub-Riemannian geodesics. In order to do that, we regard sub-Riemannian structures as a special kind of variational problems. In this setting,…
