Affine invariant points and maps for sets were introduced by Gr\"unbaum to study the symmetry structure of convex sets. We extend these notions to a functional setting. The role of symmetry of the set is now taken by evenness of the…

We prove a Santal\'{o} and a reverse Santal\'{o} inequality for the polarity transform, which was recently re-discovered by Artstein-Avidan and Milman, in the class consisting of (even) log-concave functions attaining their maximal value 1…

To every log-concave function $f$ one may associate a pair of measures $(\mu_{f},\nu_{f})$ which are the surface area measures of $f$. These are a functional extension of the classical surface area measure of a convex body, and measure how…
