We prove that a bounded open set U in Euclidean n-space has k-width less than C(n) Volume(U)^{k/n}. Using this estimate, we give lower bounds for the k-dilation of degree 1 maps between certain domains in Euclidean space. In particular, we…

We give a closed formula for volumes of generic hyperbolic tetrahedra in terms of edge lengths. The cue of our formula is by the volume conjecture for the Turaev-Viro invariant of closed 3-manifolds, which is defined from the quantum…

The Euclidean formulation of quantum gravity can be interpreted in terms of a probability distribution over Riemannian manifolds. In the context of de Sitter gravity, the statistics of the total volume according to this distribution is…

We construct, for any finite dimension $n$, a new hidden measurement model for quantum mechanics based on representing quantum transition probabilities by the volume of regions in projective Hilbert space. For $n=2$ our model is equivalent…

We compute explicitly the Riemannian volume, with respect to the Fubini-Study metric, of a domain bounded by a Hermitian quadric in complex projective space. The volume is a rational function of the eigenvalues of the defining quadratic…

A simple application of the semipositivity.

In this mostly expository note, I give a very quick proof of the definable Chow theorem of Peterzil and Starchenko using the Bishop-Stoll theorem and a volume estimate for definable sets due to Nguyen and Valette. The volume estimate says…

The generalized volume conjecture relates asymptotic behavior of the colored Jones polynomials to objects naturally defined on an algebraic curve, the zero locus of the A-polynomial $A(x,y)$. Another "family version" of the volume…

Weil-Petersson volumes are the volumes of the moduli spaces of bordered Riemann surfaces and have played an important role in the relationship between two-dimensional quantum gravity and algebraic geometry. In the last couple years progress…

Let $\mathbb{P}\Omega^d\mathcal{M}_{0,n}(\kappa)$, where $\kappa=(k_1,\dots,k_n)$, be a stratum of (projectivized) $d$-differentials in genus $0$. We prove a recursive formula which relates the volume of…

We introduce the notion of tubular dimension, and give a formula for it. As an application we show that every invariant measure of a $C^{1+\gamma}$ diffeomorphism of a closed Riemannian manifold admits an asymptotic local product structure…

The section volume function $A_K(\xi,t), \ \xi \in \mathbb R^n, \ t \in \mathbb R,$ of a body $K \subset \mathbb R^n$ evaluates the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of the cross-section $K$ by the hyperplane $\{ x \cdot \xi=t \}.$ We are…

In this paper we will provide a new proof of the fact that for any convex body $K\subseteq\R^n$ $$ \frac{{{2n}\choose{n}}}{n^n}n\int_0^\infty r^{n-1}\vol_n(K\cap(re_n+K))dr\leq\frac{(\vol_n(K))^{n+1}}{(\vol_{n-1}(P_{e_n^\perp}(K)))^n}, $$…

There are two positive, absolute constants $c_{1}$ and $c_{2}$ so that the volume of the difference set of the $d$-dimensional Euclidean ball and an inscribed polytope with n vertices is larger than $$ c_{2}\ d\…

Let $\mathcal{C}_{d,n}$ be the convex cone consisting of real $n$-variate degree $d$ forms that are strictly positive on $\mathbb{R}^n\setminus \{\mathbf{0}\}$. We prove that the Lebesgue volume of the sublevel set $\{g\leq 1\}$ of $g\in…

Following Weaver we study generalized differential operators, called (metric) derivations, and their linear algebraic properties. In particular, for k = 1, 2 we show that measures on k-dimensional Euclidean space that induce rank-k modules…

We compute the volumes of convex bodies that are given by inequalities of concave polynomials. These volumes are found to arbitrary precision thanks to the representation of periods by linear differential equations. Our approach rests on…

Let $B_Y$ denote the unit ball of a normed linear space $Y$. A symmetric, bounded, closed, convex set $A$ in a finite dimensional normed linear space $X$ is called a {\it sufficient enlargement} for $X$ if, for an arbitrary isometric…

We derive general expressions for the Kaehler form of the L^2-metric in terms of standard 2-forms on vortex moduli spaces. In the case of abelian vortices in gauged linear sigma-models, this allows us to compute explicitly the Kaehler class…

The volume of a Meissner polyhedron is computed in terms of the lengths of its dual edges. This allows to reformulate the Meissner conjecture regarding constant width bodies with minimal volume as a series of explicit finite dimensional…
