It is well known that the Fourier--Bohr coefficients of regular model sets exist and are uniformly converging, volume-averaged exponential sums. Several proofs for this statement are known, all of which use fairly abstract machinery. For…

We compute the Cheeger constants of a collection of hyperbolic surfaces corresponding to maximal non-compact arithmetic Fuchsian groups, and to subgroups which are the rotation subgroup of maximal reflection groups. The Cheeger constants…

Cheeger-type inequalities in which the decomposability of a graph and the spectral gap of its Laplacian mutually control each other play an important role in graph theory and network analysis, in particular in the context of expander…

The Cheeger constant of a graph is the smallest possible ratio between the size of a subgraph and the size of its boundary. It is well known that this constant must be at least $\frac{\lambda_1}{2}$, where $\lambda_1$ is the smallest…

This paper introduces a natural definition for the volume of the unit ball in $n$-dimensional normed spaces $\mathbb{R}^n$. This definition preserves the Euclidean relation $P(B)/V(B)=n$ between the perimiter and the volume of the unit ball…

We study several aspects of the $k$-th Cheeger constant of a complex X, a parameter that quantifies the distance of $X$ from a complex $Y$ with nontrivial $k$-th cohomology over $\mathbb{Z}_2$. Our results include general methods for…

The regular $N$-gon provides the minimal Cheeger constant in the class of all $N$-gons with fixed volume. This result is due to a work of Bucur and Fragal\`a in 2014. In this note, we address the stability of their result in terms of the…

We show that the Cheeger isoperimetric constant of a solvable simply connected Lie group $G$ with Lie algebra $\G$ is $h(G)=\max_{H\in\G,||H||=1} \tr(\ad (H))$.

We study the Cheeger constant and Cheeger set for domains obtained as strip-like neighbourhoods of curves in the plane. If the reference curve is complete and finite (a "curved annulus"), then the strip itself is a Cheeger set and the…

This note details how a recent structure theorem for normal $1$-currents proved by the first and third author allows to prove a conjecture of Cheeger concerning the structure of Lipschitz differentiability spaces. More precisely, we show…

Recently, in the metric spaces, Le Donne and the author introduced the so-called intrinsically Lipschitz sections. The main aim of this note is to adapt Cheeger theory for the classical Lipschitz constants in our new context. More…

Hadwiger's Theorem states that Euclidean-invariant convex-continuous valuations of definable sets are linear combinations of intrinsic volumes. We lift this result from sets to data distributions over sets, specifically, to definable…

We show a sufficient criterion to determine if a planar set $\Omega$ is a minimizer of the prescribed curvature functional among all of its subsets. As a special case, we derive a sufficient criterion to determine if $\Omega$ is a…

An isoperimetric constant relating length and stable area, or alternatively for hyperbolic manifolds, length and stable commutator length, serves as a Cheeger constant for the smallest eigenvalue of the Hodge Laplacian acting on coexact…

We prove a $\Gamma$-convergence result for Cheeger energies along sequences of metric measure spaces, where the measure space is kept fixed, while distances are monotonically converging from below to the limit one. As a consequence, we show…

Cheeger inequality is a classical result emerging from the isoperimetric problem in the field of geometry. In the graph theory, a discrete version of Cheeger inequality was also studied deeply and the notion was further extended for higher…

A closed set of a Euclidean space is said to be Chebyshev if every point in the space has one and only one closest point in the set. Although the situation is not settled in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, in 1932 Bunt showed that in…

The Kannan-Lov\'asz-Simonovits conjecture says that the Cheeger constant of any logconcave density is achieved to within a universal, dimension-independent constant factor by a hyperplane-induced subset. Here we survey the origin and…
