We continue the study of intersection bodies of polytopes, focusing on the behavior of $IP$ under translations of $P$. We introduce an affine hyperplane arrangement and show that the polynomials describing the boundary of $I(P+t)$ can be…

We investigate metric projections and distance functions referring to convex bodies in finite-dimensional normed spaces. For this purpose we identify the vector space with its dual space by using, instead of the usual identification via the…

We prove several stability and volume difference inequalities for projections of convex bodies and apply them to prove a hyperplane inequality for surface area of projection bodies.

We introduce floating bodies for convex, not necessarily bounded subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$. This allows us to define floating functions for convex and log concave functions and log concave measures. We establish the asymptotic behavior of…

We introduce a class of examples which provide an affine generalization of the nonholonomic problem of a convex body rolling without slipping on the plane. We investigate dynamical aspects of the system such as existence of first integrals,…

In this paper we study how certain symmetries of convex bodies affect their geometric properties. In particular, we consider the impact of symmetries generated by the block diagonal subgroup of orthogonal transformations, generalizing…

Convex geometries are closure systems satisfying the anti-exchange axiom. Every finite convex geometry can be embedded into a convex geometry of finitely many points in an n-dimensional space equipped with a convex hull operator, by the…

Very recently J. Kotrbaty has proven general inequalities for translation invariant smooth valuations formally analogous to the Hodge- Riemann bilinear relations in the Kahler geometry. The goal of this note is to apply Kotrbaty's theorem…

We obtain new general results on the structure of the space of translation invariant continuous valuations on convex sets (a version of the hard Lefschetz theorem). Using these and our previous results we obtain explicit characterization of…

Makeev conjectured that every constant-width body is inscribed in the dual difference body of a regular simplex. We prove that homologically, there are an odd number of such circumscribing bodies in dimension 3, and therefore geometrically…

We study algebraic and geometric properties of metric spaces endowed with dilatation structures, which are emergent during the passage through smaller and smaller scales. In the limit we obtain a generalization of metric affine geometry,…

In this paper we discuss some affine properties of convex equal-area polygons, which are convex polygons such that all triangles formed by three consecutive vertices have the same area. Besides being able to approximate closed convex smooth…

We answer in the negative a question by Gruenbaum who asked if there exists a finite basis of affine invariant points. We give a positive answer to another question by Gruenbaum about the "size" of the set of all affine invariant points.…

We prove a conjecture of B. Gr\"unbaum stating that the set of affine invariant points of a convex body equals to the set of points invariant under all affine linear symmetries of the convex body. As a consequence we give a short proof on…

The concept of illumination bodies studied in convex geometry is used to amend the halfspace depth for multivariate data. The proposed notion of illumination enables finer resolution of the sample points, naturally breaks ties in the…

We give geometric interpretations of certain affine invariants of convex bodies. The affine invariants are the p-affine surface areas introduced by Lutwak. The geometric interpretations involve generalizations of the Santal\'o-bodies…

We extend the notion of illumination bodies to Riemannian spaces of constant curvature and to projective Finsler geometries. We prove that the derivative of their volume defines a notion of surface area for convex bodies in these settings,…
