We define new surface area measures for ball-convex bodies which we call $L_p$ relative surface areas. We show that those are rigid motion invariant valuations. We establish inequalities for these quantities and prove a monotonicity…

We define floating bodies in the class of $n$-dimensional ball-convex bodies. A right derivative of volume of these floating bodies leads to a surface area measure for ball-convex bodies which we call relative affine surface area. We show…

The Illumination Problem may be phrased as the problem of covering a convex body in Euclidean $n$-space by a minimum number of translates of its interior. By a probabilistic argument, we show that, arbitrarily close to the Euclidean ball,…

High proved the following theorem. If the intersections of any two congruent copies of a plane convex body are centrally symmetric, then this body is a circle. In our paper we extend the theorem of High to spherical, Euclidean and…

In this note we present the solution of some isoperimetric problems in open convex cones of $\R^n$ in which perimeter and volume are measured with respect to certain nonradial weights. Surprisingly, Euclidean balls centered at the origin…

In this article, we study the geometry of an infinite dimensional Hyperbolic space. We will consider the group of isometries of the Hilbert ball equipped with the Carath$\acute{e}$odory metric and learn about some special subclasses of this…

Let us have in S^2, R^2 or H^2 a pair of convex bodies, for S^2 different from S^2, such that the intersections of any congruent copies of them are centrally symmetric. Then our bodies are congruent circles. If the intersections of any…

We study the following open problem, suggested by Barker and Larman. Let $K$ and $L$ be convex bodies in $\mathbb R^n$ ($n\ge 2$) that contain a Euclidean ball $B$ in their interiors. If $\mathrm{vol}_{n-1}(K\cap H) =…

We study metric properties of convex bodies B and their polars B^o, where B is the convex hull of an orbit under the action of a compact group G. Examples include the Traveling Salesman Polytope in polyhedral combinatorics (G=S_n, the…

In a work by Artstein-Avidan and Milman the concept of polarity is generalized from the class of convex bodies to the larger class of convex functions. While the only self-polar convex body is the Euclidean ball, it turns out that there are…

The union of the particles of a stationary Poisson process of compact (convex) sets in Euclidean space is called Boolean model and is a classical topic of stochastic geometry. In this paper, Boolean models in hyperbolic space are…

We study the way in which the Euclidean subspaces of a Banach space fit together, somewhat in the spirit of the Ka\v{s}in decomposition. The main tool that we introduce is an estimate regarding the convex hull of a convex body in John's…

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…

In Euclidean spaces, every closed, bounded, convex set can be characterized by two equivalent notions of separation properties. This is not true in general for arbitrary Banach spaces. In this work, we present a ball separation…
