The theory of Newton-Okounkov bodies attaches a convex body to a line bundle on a variety equipped with flag of subvarieties. This convex body encodes the asymptotic properties of sections of powers of the line bundle. In this paper, we…
Geometry of sparse systems of polynomial equations (i.e. the ones with prescribed monomials and generic coefficients) is well studied in terms of their Newton polytopes. The results of this study are colloquially known as the…
Mixed volumes in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space are functionals of $n$-tuples consisting of convex bodies $K,L,C_1,\ldots,C_{n-2}$. The Alexandrov--Fenchel inequalities are fundamental inequalities between mixed volumes of convex bodies,…
In this note, we study the differentiability of the arithmetic volumes along arithmetic R-divisors, and give some equality conditions for the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for arithmetic volumes over the cone of nef and big arithmetic…
The theory of coconvex bodies was formalized by A.~Khovanski{\u\i} and V.~Timorin in \cite{KT}. It has fascinating relations with the classical theory of convex bodies, as well as applications to Lorentzian geometry. In a recent preprint…
We show that the mixed volumes of arbitrary convex bodies are equal to mixed multiplicities of graded families of monomial ideals, and to normalized limits of mixed multiplicities of monomial ideals. This result evinces the close relation…
Based on the work of Okounkov (\cite{Ok96}, \cite{Ok03}), Lazarsfeld and Musta\c t\u a (\cite{LM08}) and Kaveh and Khovanskii (\cite{KK08}) have independently associated a convex body, called the Okounkov body, to a big divisor on a smooth…
We describe, under certain conditions, the Newton-Okounkov body of a Bott-Samelson variety as a lattice polytope defined by an explicit list of inequalities. The valuation that we use to define the Newton-Okounkov body is different from…
In this note we prove certain inequalities for mixed discriminants of positive semi-definite matrices, and mixed volumes of compact convex sets in n-dimensions. Moreover, we discuss how the latter are related to the monotonicity of an…
In this paper, we develop the general intersection theory of nef b-divisors, extending the movable intersection theory. We define a notion of restricted volume of b-divisors and prove a quantitative version of the monotonicity of the…
We associate convex bodies to a wide class of graded G-algebras where G is a connected reductive group. These convex bodies give information about the Hilbert function as well as multiplicities of irreducible representations appearing in…
We present several analogies between convex geometry and the theory of holomorphic line bundles on smooth projective varieties or K\"ahler manifolds. We study the relation between positive products and mixed volumes. We define and study a…
We investigate several functional and geometric inequalities on the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^N$, with a primary emphasis on logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, Poincar\'e inequalities, and Beckner-type inequalities, all studied within the…
Very recently J. Kotrbaty has proven general inequalities for translation invariant smooth valuations formally analogous to the Hodge- Riemann bilinear relations in the Kahler geometry. The goal of this note is to apply Kotrbaty's theorem…
The Hodge algebra structures on the homogeneous coordinate rings of Grassmann varieties provide semi-toric degenerations of these varieties. In this paper we construct these semi-toric degenerations using quasi-valuations and triangulations…
Given a homogeneous ideal in a polynomial ring over C, we adapt the construction of Newton-Okounkov bodies to obtain a convex subset of Euclidean space such that a suitable integral over this set computes the Segre zeta function of the…
We present a short proof of the Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities for mixed volumes of convex bodies.
The purpose of the paper is to initiate the development of the theory of Newton Okounkov bodies of curve classes. Our denition is based on making a fundamental property of NewtonOkounkov bodies hold also in the curve case: the volume of the…
Let $X$ be an arithmetic variety over the ring of integers of a number field $K$, with smooth generic fiber $X_K$. We give a formula that relates the dimension of the first Arakelov-Chow vector space of $X$ with the Mordell-Weil rank of the…
Convex algebraic geometry concerns the interplay between optimization theory and real algebraic geometry. Its objects of study include convex semialgebraic sets that arise in semidefinite programming and from sums of squares. This article…
