In this paper we use the notion of stability for free boundary surfaces with constant higher order mean curvature to obtain rigidity results for $H_2$-surfaces with free boundary of a geodesic ball of a simply connected $3$-dimensional…

We show an explicit construction in 3 dimensions for a convex, mono-monostatic polyhedron (i.e., having exactly one stable and one unstable equilibrium) with 21 vertices and 21 faces. This polyhedron is a 0-skeleton, with equal masses…

In this work we prove that either a sequence of axes of symmetry or a sequence of hyperplanes of symmetry of a convex body $K$ in the Euclidean space $E^d, d>2$, are enough to guarantee that $K$ is a generalized body of revolution (and in…

We give a short and simple proof of Cauchy's surface area formula, which states that the average area of a projection of a convex body is equal to its surface area up to a multiplicative constant in the dimension.

We introduce the arithmetic width of a convex body, defined as the number of distinct values a linear functional attains on the lattice points within the body. Arithmetic width refines lattice width by detecting gaps in the lattice point…

Let $d\ge 2$ and let $K$ and $L$ be two convex bodies in ${\mathbb R^d}$ such that $L\subset \textrm{int}\,K$ and the boundary of $L$ does not contain a segment. If $K$ and $L$ satisfy the $(d+1)$-equichordal property, i.e., for any line…

We discuss basic properties of several different width functions in the $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space such as continuity, and we also define a new hyperbolic width as the extension of Leichtweiss' width function. Then we prove a…

In this paper we introduce the Constant Width Measure Set, which measures the constant width property of an oval, i.e. the planar simple closed strictly convex curve. We study its geometrical properties. We find the exact relation between…

We give an improvement of the Carath\'eodory theorem for strong convexity (ball convexity) in $\mathbb R^n$, reducing the Carath\'eodory number to $n$ in several cases; and show that the Carath\'eodory number cannot be smaller than $n$ for…

We prove that of all two-dimensional lattices of covolume 1 the hexagonal lattice has asymptotically the fewest distances. An analogous result for dimensions 3 to 8 was proved in 1991 by Conway and Sloane. Moreover, we give a survey of some…

For a convex body $K\subset\R^n$ and $i\in\{1,...,n-1\}$, the function assigning to any $i$-dimensional subspace $L$ of $\R^n$, the $i$-dimensional volume of the orthogonal projection of $K$ to $L$, is called the $i$-th projection function…

What is the largest constant $c\in [0,1]$ with the property that every finite collection $\mathcal{C}$ of axis-parallel squares in the plane admits a disjoint sub-collection $\mathcal{S}$ occupying at least a fraction $c$ of the area…

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…

In 1944, Santal\'o asked about the average number of normals through a point of a given convex body. Since then, numerous results appeared in the literature about this problem. The aim of this paper is to give a concise summary of these…

Here we propose a class of frameworks in the plane, braced polygons, that may be globally rigid and are analogous to convex polyopes in 3 space that are rigid by Cauchy's rigidity Theorem in 1813.

In this paper we prove: if a bounded domain with $C^2$ boundary covers a manifold which has finite volume with respect to either the Bergman volume, the K\"ahler-Einstein volume, or the Kobayashi-Eisenman volume, then the domain is…

Let $C$ be a convex body and let $S$ be a nondegenerate simplex in ${\mathbb R}^n$. Denote by $\xi(C;S)$ the minimal $\tau>0$ such that $C$ is a subset of the simplex $\tau S$. By $\alpha(C;S)$ we mean the minimal $\tau>0$ such that $C$ is…

We consider the problem of minimizing the relative perimeter under a volume constraint in an unbounded convex body $C\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, without assuming any further regularity on the boundary of $C$. Motivated by an example of an…

The fluid ball conjecture states that a static perfect fluid space-time is spherically symmetric. In this paper we construct a Robinson's divergence formula for the static perfect fluid space-time. Inspired by this conjecture, a rigidity…

In this paper, we obtain the best possible value of the absolute constant $C$ such that for every isotropic convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ the following inequality (which was proved by Klartag and reduces the hyperplane conjecture…
