Interpolating between the classic notions of intersection and polar centroid bodies, (real) $L_p$-intersection bodies, for $-1<p<1$, play an important role in the dual $L_p$-Brunn--Minkowski theory. Inspired by the recent construction of…
We introduce complex intersection bodies and show that their properties and applications are similar to those of their real counterparts. In particular, we generalize Busemann's theorem to the complex case by proving that complex…
Sharp Lp affine isoperimetric inequalities are established for the entire class of Lp projection bodies and the entire class of Lp centroid bodies. These new inequalities strengthen the Lp Petty projection and the Lp Busemann--Petty…
We show that the $\Lp$ Busemann-Petty centroid inequality provides an elementary and powerful tool to the study of some sharp affine functional inequalities with a geometric content, like log-Sobolev, Sobolev and Gagliardo-Nirenberg…
In this paper we study how certain symmetries of convex bodies affect their geometric properties. In particular, we consider the impact of symmetries generated by the block diagonal subgroup of orthogonal transformations, generalizing…
We present a method which shows that in $\Eb$ the Busemann-Petty problem, concerning central sections of centrally symmetric convex bodies, has a positive answer. Together with other results, this settles the problem in each dimension.
We study the structures of two types of generalizations of intersection-bodies and the problem of whether they are in fact equivalent. Intersection-bodies were introduced by Lutwak and played a key role in the solution of the Busemann-Petty…
We establish sharp affine weighted $L^p$ Sobolev type inequalities by using the $L_p$ Busemann-Petty centroid inequality proved by Lutwak, Yang and Zhang. Our approach consists in combining in a convenient way the latter one with a suitable…
If $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ is a convex body and $\Gamma_pK$ is the $p$-centroid body of $K$, the $L_p$ Busemann-Petty centroid inequality states that $\vol(\Gamma_pK) \geq \vol(K)$, with equality if and only if $K$ is an ellipsoid centered…
Since the answer to the complex Busemann-Petty problem is negative in most dimensions, it is natural to ask what conditions on the (n-1)-dimensional volumes of the central sections of complex convex bodies with complex hyperplanes allow to…
We consider the problem of comparing the volumes of two star bodies in an even-dimensional euclidean space $\mathbb R^{2n} = \mathbb C^n$ by comparing their cross sectional areas along complex lines (special 2-dimensional real planes)…
We derive a formula connecting the derivatives of parallel section functions of an origin-symmetric star body in R^n with the Fourier transform of powers of the radial function of the body. A parallel section function (or (n-1)-dimensional…
We introduce the class of functions positively associated with a linear operator. We describe these classes for several integral operators including the $q$-cosine transform and the spherical Radon transform. We show that positively…
The aim of this note is to survey the results in some geometric problems related to the centroids and the static equilibrium points of convex bodies. In particular, we collect results related to Gr\"unbaum's inequality and the…
We formulate an isomorphic version of the Busemann-Petty problem and solve it in affirmative in the case of sections of proportional dimensions.
We provide an affirmative answer to a variant of the Busemann-Petty problem, proposed by V.~Milman: Let $K$ be a convex body in ${\mathbb R}^n$ and let $D$ be a compact subset of ${\mathbb R}^n$ such that, for some $1\ls k\ls n-1$,…
We prove new versions of the isomorphic Busemann-Petty problem for two different measures and show how these results can be used to recover slicing and distance inequalities. We also prove a sharp upper estimate for the outer volume ratio…
This article belongs to the area of geometric tomography, which is the study of geometric properties of solids based on data about their sections and projections. We describe a new direction in geometric tomography where different…
The lower dimensional Busemann-Petty problem asks, whether n-dimensional centrally symmetric convex bodies with smaller i-dimensional central sections necessarily have smaller volumes. The paper contains a complete solution to the problem…
The spherical centroid body of a centrally-symmetric convex body in the Euclidean unit sphere is introduced. Two alternative definitions - one geometric, the other probabilistic in nature - are given and shown to lead to the same objects.…
