Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb R^n$. We prove that in small codimensions, the sections of a convex body through the centroid are quite symmetric with respect to volume. As a consequence of our estimates we give a positive answer to a…

The Sphere Covering Inequality was introduced in \cite{GM} (\emph{Invent. Math.}, 2018) as a sharp geometric inequality that provides a lower bound for the total area of two distinct surfaces of Gaussian curvature 1. These surfaces are…

We prove several estimates for the moments of arbitrary measures on convex bodies. We apply these estimates to show a new slicing inequality for measures on convex bodies. We also deduce estimates for the outer volume ratio distance from an…

A sharp Poincar\'e-type inequality is derived for the restriction of the Gaussian measure on the boundary of a convex set. In particular, it implies a Gaussian mean-curvature inequality and a Gaussian iso second-variation inequality. The…

We discuss connections between certain well-known open problems related to the uniform measure on a high-dimensional convex body. In particular, we show that the "thin shell conjecture" implies the "hyperplane conjecture". This extends a…

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…

In this paper, we show that if $L_p$ Gaussian surface area measure is proportional to the spherical Lebesgue measure, then the corresponding convex body has to be a centered disk when $p\in[0,1)$. Moreover, we investigate $C^0$ estimate of…

The famous Minkowski inequality provides a sharp lower bound for the mixed volume $V(K,M[n-1])$ of two convex bodies $K,M\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ in terms of powers of the volumes of the individual bodies $K$ and $M$. The special case where $K$…

We prove that the length of the projection of the vector joining the centers of mass of a convex body on the plane and of its boundary to an arbitrary direction does not exceed $\frac{1}{6}$ of the body width in this direction. It follows…

We solve several new sharp inequalities relating three quantities amongst the area, perimeter, inradius, circumradius, diameter, and minimal width of planar convex bodies. As a consequence, we narrow the missing gaps in each of the missing…

The intrinsic volumes of a convex body are fundamental invariants that capture information about the average volume of the projection of the convex body onto a random subspace of fixed dimension. The intrinsic volumes also play a central…

P\'al's classical isominwidth inequality states that the regular triangle has minimal area among plane convex bodies of minimal width $w$. A similar result is the Blaschke--Lebesgue inequality that states that Reuleaux triangles minimize…

We revisit an ingenious argument of K. Ball to provide sharp estimates for the volume of sections of a convex body in John's position. Our technique combines the geometric Brascamp-Lieb inequality with a generalised Parseval-type identity.…

Simplex slicing (Webb, 1996) is a sharp upper bound on the volume of central hyperplane sections of the regular simplex. We extend this to sharp bounds in the probabilistic framework of negative moments, and beyond, of centred log-concave…
