One of the fundamental results in Convex Geometry is Busemann's theorem, which states that the intersection body of a symmetric convex body is convex. Thus, it is only natural to ask if there is a quantitative version of Busemann's theorem,…

Finding a largest Euclidean ball in a given convex body $K \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and finding a largest volume ellipsoid in $K$ are two problems of fundamentally different nature. The first is a purely Euclidean problem, where we consider…

We prove that the log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality \begin{equation*} |\lambda K+_0 (1-\lambda)L|\geq |K|^{\lambda}|L|^{1-\lambda} \end{equation*} (where $|\cdot|$ is the Lebesgue measure and $+_0$ is the so-called log-addition) holds when…

Let $B_{x}\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n}$ denote the Euclidean ball with diameter $[0,x]$, i.e. with with center at $\frac{x}{2}$ and radius $\frac{\left|x\right|}{2}$. We call such a ball a petal. A flower $F$ is any union of petals, i.e.…

We characterize the surjective isometries, with respect to the Hausdorff distance, of the class of bodies given by intersections of Euclidean unit balls. We show that any such isometry is given by the composition of a rigid motion with…

We study the following question posed by Turan. Suppose K is a convex body in Euclidean space which is symmetric with respect to the origin. Of all positive definite functions supported in K, and with value 1 at the origin, which one has…

The Gaussian Correlation Conjecture states that for any two symmetric, convex sets in n-dimensional space and for any centered, Gaussian measure on that space, the measure of the intersection is greater than or equal to the product of the…

For every integer $k\geq 2$ and every $R>1$ one can find a dimension $n$ and construct a symmetric convex body $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ with $\text{diam}\,Q_{k-1}(K)\geq R\cdot\text{diam}\,Q_k(K)$, where $Q_k(K)$ denotes the $k$-convex hull…

A comparison problem for volumes of convex bodies asks whether inequalities $f_K(\xi)\le f_L(\xi)$ for all $\xi\in S^{n-1}$ imply that $\vol_n(K)\le \vol_n(L),$ where $K,L$ are convex bodies in $\R^n,$ and $f_K$ is a certain geometric…

Employing the affine normal flow, we prove a stability version of the $p$-affine isoperimetric inequality for $p\geq1$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ in the class of origin-symmetric convex bodies. That is, if $K$ is an origin-symmetric convex body in…

Log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality was conjectured by Bor\"oczky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang \cite{BLYZ}, and it states that a certain strengthening of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality is admissible in the case of symmetric convex sets. It…
