We completely characterize isoperimetric regions in R^n with density e^h, where h is convex, smooth, and radially symmetric. In particular, balls around the origin constitute isoperimetric regions of any given volume, proving the Log-Convex…

Determining the minimum density of a covering of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ by Euclidean unit balls as $n\to\infty$ is a major open problem, with the best known results being the lower bound of $\left(\mathrm{e}^{-3/2}+o(1)\right)n$ by Coxeter, Few…

Let $H$ be a Hilbert space. For a closed convex body $A$ denote by $r(A)$ the supremum of radiuses of balls, contained in $A$. We prove, that $\sum_{n=1}^\infty r(A_n) \ge r(A)$ for every covering of a convex closed body $A \subset H$ by a…

The well-studied vector balancing constant $\beta(U, V)$ of a pair of convex bodies $(U,V)$, is lower bounded by a lattice counterpart, $\alpha(U,V)$. In [BS97], Banaszczyk and Szarek proved that $\alpha(B_2^n, V)\leq c$ when $V$ has…

We aim to study the classical Rosenthal-Szasz inequality for a plane whose geometry is given by a norm. This inequality states that the bodies of constant width have the largest perimeter among all planar convex bodies of given diameter. In…

We prove the four-dimensional Gaussian random vector maximum conjecture. This conjecture asserts that among all centered Gaussian random vectors $X=(X_1,X_2,X_3,X_4)$ with $E[X_i^2]=1$, $1\le i\le 4$, the expectation…

A convex body $R$ in the hyperbolic plane is reduced if any convex body $K\subset R$ has a smaller minimal width than $R$. We answer a few of Lassak's questions about ordinary reduced polygons regarding its perimeter, diameter and…

Let $K\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 3$, be a convex body. A point $p$ the interior of $K$ is said to be a Larman point of $K$ if for every hyperplane $\Pi$ passing through $p$ the section $\Pi\cap K$ has a $(n-2)$-plane of symmetry. If $p$…

Similarly to the classic notion in $E^d$, a subset of a positive diameter below $\frac{\pi}{2}$ of a hemisphere of the sphere $S^d$ is called complete, provided adding any extra point increases its diameter. Complete sets are convex bodies…

In 2021, Ordentlich, Regev and Weiss made a breakthrough that the lattice covering density of any $n$-dimensional convex body is upper bounded by $cn^{2}$, improving on the best previous bound established by Rogers in 1959. However, for the…

Let ${\mathbb E}^d$ denote the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. The $r$-ball body generated by a given set in ${\mathbb E}^d$ is the intersection of balls of radius $r$ centered at the points of the given set. In this paper we prove the…

Busemann's intersection inequality gives an upper bound for the volume of the intersection body of a star body in terms of the volume of the body itself. Koldobsky, Paouris, and Zymonopoulou asked if there is a similar result for…

The Blaschke-Leichtweiss theorem (Abh. Math. Sem. Univ. Hamburg 75: 257-284, 2005) states that the smallest area convex domain of constant width $w$ in the $2$-dimensional spherical space ${\mathbb S}^2$ is the spherical Reuleaux triangle…

Using the concepts of mixed volumes and quermassintegrals of convex geometry, we derive an exact formula for the exclusion volume for a general convex body that applies in any space dimension, including both the rotationally-averaged…

The intersection $L$ of two different non-opposite hemispheres $G$ and $H$ of a $d$-dimensional sphere $S^d$ is called a lune. By the thickness of $L$ we mean the distance of the centers of the $(d-1)$-dimensional hemispheres bounding $L$.…

A certain inequality conjectured by Vershynin is studied. It is proved that for any $n$-dimensional symmetric convex body $K$ with inradius $w$ and $\gamma_{n}(K) \leq 1/2$ there is $\gamma_{n}(sK) \leq (2s)^{w^{2}/4}\gamma_{n}(K)$ for any…

We give two new upper bounds on the covering minima of convex bodies, depending on covering minima of certain projections and intersections with linear subspaces. We show one bound to be sharp for direct sums of two convex bodies,…

Lipschitz constants for the width and diameter functions of a convex body in $\mathbb R^n$ are found in terms of its diameter and thickness (maximum and minimum of both functions). Also, a dual approach to thickness is proposed.

The largest discs contained in a regular tetrahedron lie in its faces. The proof is closely related to the theorem of Fritz John characterising ellipsoids of maximal volume contained in convex bodies.

We investigate the asymptotic best approximation of a smooth, strictly convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ by inscribed polytopes with a restricted number of vertices under the intrinsic volume difference. We prove rigidity phenomena in both…
