Based on C. Li and Y. Rubinstein's upper bisectional curvature bound estimate for the conic K\"ahler metric, we can construct a smoothing sequence for the conic metric with uniformly upper bisectional curvature bound. For the conic metric…

In this article, we consider the motion planning of a rigid object on the unit sphere with a unit speed. The motion of the object is constrained by the maximum absolute value, $U_{max}$ of geodesic curvature of its path; this constrains the…

Polytopes are the basic finite data structures for convex sets: they appear as feasible regions in linear optimization, as geometric summaries in algorithms, and as random objects in stochastic geometry. A natural geometric question is…

We explore a surprising phenomenon in which an obstruction accelerates, rather than decelerates, a moving flexible object. It has been claimed that the right kind of discrete chain falling onto a table falls \emph{faster} than a…

We consider the motion by mean curvature of an $n$-dimensional graph over a time-dependent domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, intersecting $\mathbb{R}^n$ at a constant angle. In the general case, we prove local existence for the corresponding…

We consider an n-dimensional Brownian Motion trapped inside a bounded convex set by normally-reflecting boundaries. It is well-known that this process is uniformly ergodic. However, the rates of this ergodicity are not well-understood,…

This article derives closed-form parametric formulas for the Minkowski sums of convex bodies in d-dimensional Euclidean space with boundaries that are smooth and have all positive sectional curvatures at every point. Under these conditions,…

Recently it was proved that every billiard trajectory inside a $C^3$ convex cone has a finite number of reflections. Here, by a $C^3$ convex cone, we mean a cone whose section with some hyperplane is a strictly convex closed $C^3$…

Two-point functions of the scalar curvature for metric fluctuations on the four-sphere are analysed. The two-point function for points separated by a fixed distance and for metrics of fixed volume is calculated using spacetime foam methods.…

Given a smooth convex cone in the Euclidean $(n+1)$-space ($n\geq2$), we consider strictly mean convex hypersurfaces with boundary which are star-shaped with respect to the center of the cone and which meet the cone perpendicularly. If…

When geometric structures on surfaces are determined by the lengths of curves, it is natural to ask: which curves' lengths do we really need to know? It is a result of Duchin--Leininger--Rafi that any flat metric induced by a unit-norm…

We introduce the arithmetic width of a convex body, defined as the number of distinct values a linear functional attains on the lattice points within the body. Arithmetic width refines lattice width by detecting gaps in the lattice point…
