We introduce notions of concavity for functions on balanced polyhedral spaces, and we show that concave functions on such spaces satisfy several strong continuity properties.

We study translative integral formulas for certain translation invariant functionals on convex polytopes and discuss local extensions and applications to Poisson processes and Boolean models.

The "old-new" concept of convex-hull function was investigated by several authors in the last seventy years. A recent research on it led to some other volume functions as the covariogram function, the widthness function or the so-called…

At a first glance, the problem of illuminating the boundary of a convex body by external light sources and the problem of covering a convex body by its smaller positive homothetic copies appear to be quite different. They are in fact two…

Generalized polyhedral convex sets, generalized polyhedral convex functions on locally convex Hausdorff topological vector spaces, and the related constructions such as sum of sets, sum of functions, directional derivative, infimal…

It is known that an $n$-dimensional convex body which is typical in the sense of Baire category, shows a simple, but highly non-intuitive curvature behaviour: at almost all of its boundary points, in the sense of measure, all curvatures are…

For a convex body on the Euclidean unit sphere the spherical convex floating body is introduced. The asymptotic behavior of the volume difference of a spherical convex body and its spherical floating body is investigated. This gives rise to…

In this work we present a theorem regarding two convex bodies $K_1, K_2\subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$, $n\geq 3$, and two families of sections of them, given by two families of tangent planes of two spheres $S_i\subset \textrm{int}\textrm{ } K_i$,…

Geometric lower and upper estimates are obtained for invariant metrics on $\Bbb C$-convex domains containing no complex lines.

A commutative associative algebra A with an identity over the field of real numbers which has a basis, where all elements are invertible, is considered in the work. Moreover, among matrixes consisting of the structure constants of A, there…

In this paper, we extend and generalize several previous works on maximal-volume positions of convex bodies. First, we analyze the maximal positive-definite image of one convex body inside another, and the resulting decomposition of the…

The hermitian analog of Aleksandrov's area measures of convex bodies is investigated. A characterization of those area measures which arise as the first variation of unitarily invariant valuations is established. General smooth area…

We define and study complex structures and generalizations on spaces consisting of geodesics or harmonic maps that are compatible with the symmetries of these spaces. The main results are about existence and uniqueness of such structures.

Let F be a finite set of circles in the plane. We point out that the usual convex closure restricted to F yields a convex geometry, that is, a combinatorial structure introduced by P. H Edelman in 1980 under the name "anti-exchange closure…

The use of geometric invariants has recently played an important role in the solution of classification problems in non-commutative ring theory. We construct geometric invariants of non-commutative projectivizations, a significant class of…

W. Schmidt, H. Montgomery, and J. Beck proved a result on irregularities of distribution with respect to $d$-dimensional balls. In this paper, we extend their result to any $d$-dimensional convex body with a smooth boundary and finite order…

We construct some examples of polynomial maps over finite fields that admit subvarieties with a peculiar property: every geometric point is mapped to a fixed point by some iteration of the map, while the whole subvariety is not. Several…

We study symmetries of bases and spanning sets in finite element exterior calculus, using representation theory. We want to know which vector-valued finite element spaces have bases invariant under permutation of vertex indices. The…

This paper presents connections between Gromov's work on isoperimetry of waists and Milman's work on the $M$-ellipsoid of a convex body. It is proven that any convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ has a linear image $\tilde{K} \subseteq…

We obtain a new extension of Rogers-Shephard inequality providing an upper bound for the volume of the sum of two convex bodies $K$ and $L$. We also give lower bounds for the volume of the $k$-th limiting convolution body of two convex…
