We prove that if $K$ is a symmetric and isotropic convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$, then $$\int_K\langle x,u\rangle^2\,dx\int_{K^\circ}\langle x,u\rangle^2\,dx\leq \left(\int_{B_2^n}\langle x,u\rangle^2\,dx\right)^2,\qquad\forall…

We establish a version of the bottleneck conjecture, which in turn implies a partial solution to the Mahler conjecture on the product $v(K) = (\Vol K)(\Vol K^\circ)$ of the volume of a symmetric convex body $K \in \R^n$ and its polar body…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\R^d$, let $j\in\{1, ..., d-1\}$, and let $\varrho$ be a positive and continuous probability density function with respect to the $(d-1)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure on the boundary $\partial K$ of $K$. Denote…

In recent work with Berndtsson and Rubinstein, a notion of $L^p$-polarity was introduced, with classical polarity recovered in the limit $p\to\infty$, and $L^1$-polarity closely related to Bergman kernels of tube domains. A Santal\'o…

Approximating convex bodies is a fundamental question in geometry, which has a wide variety of applications. Given a convex body $K$ in $\textbf{R}^d$ for fixed $d$, the objective is to minimize the number of facets of an approximating…

The largest volume ratio of given convex body $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is defined as $$\mbox{lvr}(K):= \sup_{L \subset \mathbb{R}^n} \mbox{vr}(K,L),$$ where the $\sup$ runs over all the convex bodies $L$. We prove the following sharp lower…

It was shown in [11] that for every origin-symmetric star body $K \subseteq \mathbb R^n$ of volume $1$, every even continuous probability density $f$ on $K$ and $1 \leq k \leq n-1$, there exists a subspace $F \subseteq \mathbb R^n$ of…

The Alexandrov--Fenchel inequality bounds from below the square of the mixed volume $V(K_1,K_2,K_3,\ldots,K_n)$ of convex bodies $K_1,\ldots,K_n$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ by the product of the mixed volumes $V(K_1,K_1,K_3,\ldots,K_n)$ and…

In this paper we deal with generalizations of the Mahler volume product for log-concave functions. We show that the polarity transform $\mathcal A$ can be rescaled so that the Mahler product it induces has upper and lower bounds of the same…

We give the sharp lower bound of the volume product of three dimensional convex bodies which are invariant under two kinds of discrete subgroups of $O(3)$ of order four. We also characterize the convex bodies with the minimal volume product…

We show that, for any prime power p^k and any convex body K (i.e., a compact convex set with interior) in Rd, there exists a partition of K into p^k convex sets with equal volume and equal surface area. We derive this result from a more…

The Wills functional $\mathcal{W}(K)$ of a convex body $K$, defined as the sum of its intrinsic volumes $\mathrm{V}_i(K)$, turns out to have many interesting applications and properties. In this paper we make profit of the fact that it can…

Mahler's conjecture asks whether the cube is a minimizer for the volume product of a body and its polar in the class of symmetric convex bodies in a fixed dimension. It is known that every Hanner polytope has the same volume product as the…

Let K be a closed bounded convex subset of $\Bbb R^n$; then by a result of the first author, which extends a classical theorem of Whitney there is a constant $w_m(K)$ so that for every continuous function f on K there is a polynomial $\phi$…

We study the normalized volume of toric singularities. As it turns out, there is a close relation to the notion of (non-symmetric) Mahler volume from convex geometry. This observation allows us to use standard tools from convex geometry,…

Let $K$ be an $n$-dimensional symmetric convex body with $n \ge 4$ and let $K\dual$ be its polar body. We present an elementary proof of the fact that $$(\Vol K)(\Vol K\dual)\ge \frac{b_n^2}{(\log_2 n)^n},$$ where $b_n$ is the volume of the…

A new intrinsic volume metric is introduced for the class of convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$. As an application, an inequality is proved for the asymptotic best approximation of the Euclidean unit ball by arbitrarily positioned polytopes…

In this paper, we prove Mahler's conjecture concerning the volume product of centrally symmetric convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ in the case where $n=3$. Furthermore, we determine the equality condition.

In this paper we consider the following analog of Bezout inequality for mixed volumes: $$V(P_1,\dots,P_r,\Delta^{n-r})V_n(\Delta)^{r-1}\leq \prod_{i=1}^r V(P_i,\Delta^{n-1})\ \text{ for }2\leq r\leq n.$$ We show that the above inequality is…
