Let $V$ be a finite dimensional real vector space. In the article we construct an isomorphism between the space of smooth translation invariant valuations on convex subsets of $V$ and the space of such valuations (twisted by densities) on…

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…

We construct valuations on the space of finite-valued convex functions using integration of differential forms over the differential cycle associated to a convex function. We describe the kernel of this procedure and show that the…

In this paper, we endow the space of continuous translation invariant valuation on convex sets generated by mixed volumes coupled with a suitable Radon measure on tuples of convex bodies with two appropriate norms. This enables us to…

The algebra of smooth translation-invariant valuations on convex bodies, introduced by S.Alesker in the early 2000s, was in part proved and in part conjectured to satisfy properties formally analogous to those of the cohomology ring of a…

We show that the natural "convolution" on the space of smooth, even, translation-invariant convex valuations on a euclidean space $V$, obtained by intertwining the product and the duality transform of S. Alesker, may be expressed in terms…

It is shown that Alesker's solution of McMullen's conjecture implies the following stronger version of the conjecture: Every continuous, translation invariant, $k$-homogeneous valuation on convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be approximated…

We study dually epi-translation invariant valuations on cones of convex functions containing the space of finite-valued convex functions. The existence of a homogeneous decomposition is used to associate a distribution to every valuation of…

We investigate a scheme-theoretic variant of Whitney condition a. If X is a projec-tive variety over the field of complex numbers and Y $\subset$ X a subvariety, then X satisfies generically the scheme-theoretic Whitney condition a along Y…

Crofton formulas on simply-connected Riemannian space forms allow to compute the volumes, or more generally the Lipschitz-Killing curvature integrals of a submanifold with corners, by integrating the Euler characteristic of its intersection…

We introduce the new notion of convolution of a (smooth or generalized) valuation on a group $G$ and a valuation on a manifold $M$ acted upon by the group. In the case of a transitive group action, we prove that the spaces of smooth and…

The purpose of this paper is to address a manifold-based version of Whitney's extension problem: Given a compact set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, how can we tell if there exists a $d$-dimensional, $C^m$-smooth manifold $\mathcal{M}\supset E$? We…
