This article is a survey of recent results on slicing inequalities for convex bodies. The focus is on the setting of arbitrary measures in place of volume.

It is well known that isoperimetric inequalities imply in a very general measure-metric-space setting appropriate concentration inequalities. The former bound the boundary measure of sets as a function of their measure, whereas the latter…

A $\sqrt{n}$ estimate in the hyperplane problem with arbitrary measures has recently been proved in \cite{K3}. In this note we present analogs of this result for sections of lower dimensions and in the complex case. We deduce these…

In this paper we consider the problem of minimizing the relative perimeter under a volume constraint in the interior of a convex body, i.e., a compact convex set in Euclidean space with interior points. We shall not impose any regularity…

Inspired by a planar partitioning problem involving multiple improper chambers, this article investigates using classical techniques what can be said of the existence, uniqueness, and regularity of minimizers in a certain free-endpoint…

Recently, Bo'az Klartag showed that arbitrary convex bodies have Gaussian marginals in most directions. We show that Klartag's quantitative estimates may be improved for many uniformly convex bodies. These include uniformly convex bodies…

We consider convex sets whose modulus of convexity is uniformly quadratic. First, we observe several interesting relations between different positions of such ``2-convex'' bodies; in particular, the isotropic position is a finite…

In this paper we study how certain symmetries of convex bodies affect their geometric properties. In particular, we consider the impact of symmetries generated by the block diagonal subgroup of orthogonal transformations, generalizing…

In this paper, generalized metrics mean metrics taking values in general linearly ordered Abelian groups. Using the Hahn fields, we first prove that for every generalized metric space, if the set of the Archimedean equivalence classes of…

The Shapley-Folkman theorem shows that Minkowski averages of uniformly bounded sets tend to be convex when the number of terms in the sum becomes much larger than the ambient dimension. In optimization, Aubin and Ekeland [1976] show that…

A translation body of a convex body is the convex hull of two of its translates intersecting each other. In the 1950s, Rogers and Shephard found the extremal values, over the family of $n$-dimensional convex bodies, of the maximal volume of…
