We study the symplectic geometry of the moduli space of closed n-gons with fixed side-lengths in hyperbolic 3-space. We prove that these moduli spaces have a symplectic structure coming from Poisson Lie theory. We construct completely…

We study symmetrization procedures within the class $\mathcal S_n$ of \emph{ball-bodies}, i.e.\ intersections of unit Euclidean balls (equivalently, summands of the Euclidean unit ball, or $c$-convex sets via the $c$-duality $A\mapsto…

Extending recent work on the Euclidean hull, we derive closed-form ratio decompositions for the number of linear codes with prescribed Hermitian and symplectic hull dimension. The Hermitian ratio admits a uniform lower bound of at least…

In this survey, we discuss volumetric and combinatorial results concerning (mostly finite) intersections or unions of balls (mostly of equal radii) in the $d$-dimensional real vector space, mostly equipped with the Euclidean norm. Our first…

We establish Euclidean-type lower bounds for the codimension-1 Hausdorff measure of sets that separate points in doubling and linearly locally contractible metric manifolds. This gives a quantitative topological isoperimetric inequality in…

We study the problem of existence of regions separating a given amount of volume with the least possible perimeter inside a Euclidean cone. Our main result shows that nonexistence for a given volume implies that the isoperimetric profile of…

We prove that all normalized symplectic capacities coincide on smooth domains in $\mathbb C^n$ which are $C^2$-close to the Euclidean ball, whereas this fails for some smooth domains which are just $C^1$-close to the ball. We also prove…

As has been known since the time of Gromov's Nonsqueezing Theorem, symplectic embedding questions lie at the heart of symplectic geometry. After surveying some of the most important ways of measuring the size of a symplectic set, these…

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…

We consider the Tarski--Bang problem about covering of convex bodies by planks. The results of this kind give a lower bound on the sum of widths of planks (regions between a pair of parallel hyperplanes) covering a given convex body.…

We give examples of compact symplectic manifolds with disconnected contact type boundary in dimension $4n$ for any $n\geq 1$. The example is given by a subset of the tangent bundle of a compact quotient of the complex hyperbolic space…

In symplectic topology one uses elliptic methods to prove rigidity results about symplectic manifolds and solutions of Hamiltonian equations on them, where the most basic example is given by geodesics on Riemannian manifolds. Harmonic maps…

We completely solve the symplectic packing problem with equally sized balls for any rational, ruled, symplectic 4-manifolds. We give explicit formulae for the packing numbers, the generalized Gromov widths, the stability numbers, and the…

We show how to reduce the problem of symplectically embedding one 4-dimensional rational ellipsoid into another to a problem of embedding disjoint unions of balls into appropriate blow ups of \C P^2. For example, the problem of embedding…

We consider the volume of a Boolean expression of some congruent balls about a given system of centers in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. When the radius $r$ of the balls is large, this volume can be approximated by a polynomial of…

The aim of this note is to present a construction of symplectic structures on orientable globally hyperbolic 4-dimensional lorentzian manifolds. Said structures are defined on the manifold itself, not on its cotangent bundle. It also…

In this work, we study convex bodies in $\RR^{2n}$ with the property that their mean width cannot be infinitesimally decreased by symplectomorphisms. The common theme of our results is that toric symmetry is a preferred feature of convex…
