We consider Lorentzian manifolds as examples of partially ordered measure spaces, sets endowed with compatible partial order relations and measures, in this case given by the causal structure and the volume element defined by each…

In this note we examine the volume of the convex hull of two congruent copies of a convex body in Euclidean $n$-space, under some subsets of the isometry group of the space. We prove inequalities for this volume if the two bodies are…

The space of polynomials in two real variables with values in a 2-dimensional irreducible module of a dihedral group is studied as a standard module for Dunkl operators. The one-parameter case is considered (omitting the two-parameter case…

We prove that every indefinite quadratic form with non-negative integer coefficients is the volume polynomial of a pair of lattice polygons. This solves the discrete version of the Heine-Shephard problem for two bodies in the plane. As an…

Many star bodies have convex subsets with approximately the same Gaussian measure (of the complement). Inspired by this phenomenon, and in connection with the randomized Dvoretzky theorem for Lorentz spaces, we derive bounds on the…

We study the fractional Laplacian and the homogeneous Sobolev spaces on R^d , by considering two definitions that are both considered classical. We compare these different definitions, and show how they are related by providing an explicit…

In this paper we give a relation between the volume of sublevel sets and the area of level sets using a Gelfand-Leray form. As a consequence, we give an estimation of the volume of sublevel sets. In particular we give a proof of the known…

We show by a direct construction that there are at least $\exp\{cV^{(d-1)/(d+1)}\}$ convex lattice polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ of volume $V$ that are different in the sense that none of them can be carried to an other one by a lattice…

The purpose of this paper is to relate the variety parameterizing completely decomposable homogeneous polynomials of degree $d$ in $n+1$ variables on an algebraically closed field, called $\Split_{d}(\PP n)$, with the Grassmannian of $n-1$…

We define sets of orthogonal polynomials satisfying the additional constraint of a vanishing average. These are of interest, for example, for the study of the Hohenberg-Kohn functional for electronic or nucleonic densities and for the study…

We consider convex sets whose modulus of convexity is uniformly quadratic. First, we observe several interesting relations between different positions of such ``2-convex'' bodies; in particular, the isotropic position is a finite…

We show that the rate of convergence on the approximation of volumes of a convex symmetric polytope P in R^n by its dual L_{p$-centroid bodies is independent of the geometry of P. In particular we show that if P has volume 1,…

We prove that a generic homogeneous polynomial of degree $d$ is determined, up to a nonzero constant multiplicative factor, by the vector space spanned by its partial derivatives of order $k$ whenever $k\leq\frac{d}{2}-1$.

Similarly to the classic notion in $E^d$, a subset of a positive diameter below $\frac{\pi}{2}$ of a hemisphere of the sphere $S^d$ is called complete, provided adding any extra point increases its diameter. Complete sets are convex bodies…
