Following ideas of Iriyeh and Shibata we give a short proof of the three-dimensional Mahler conjecture {\mf for symmetric convex bodies}. Our contributions include, in particular, simple self-contained proofs of their two key statements.…

In a $d$-dimensional convex body $K$, for $n \leq d+1$, random points $X_0, \dots, X_{n-1}$ are chosen according to the uniform distribution in $K$. Their convex hull is a random $(n-1)$-simplex with probability $1$. We denote its…

The Quadratic Density Hales Jewett conjecture with $2$ letters states that for large enough $n$, every dense subset of $\{0,1\}^{n^{2}}$ contains a combinatorial line where the wildcard set is of the form $\gamma \times \gamma$ where…

Let $H_d$ denote the smallest integer $n$ such that for every convex body $K$ in $\Re^d$ there is a $0<\lambda < 1$ such that $K$ is covered by $n$ translates of $\lambda K$. In the book \emph{Research problems in discrete geometry.} by…

We consider four problems. Rogers proved that for any convex body $K$, we can cover ${\mathbb R}^d$ by translates of $K$ of density very roughly $d\ln d$. First, we extend this result by showing that, if we are given a family of positive…

Sarnak's Density Conjecture is an explicit bound on the multiplicities of non-tempered representations in a sequence of cocompact congruence arithmetic lattices in a semisimple Lie group, which is motivated by the work of Sarnak and Xue.…

In 2015, I. Soprunov and A. Zvavitch have shown how to use the Bernstein-Khovanskii-Kushnirenko theorem to derive non-negativity of a certain bilinear form $F_{\Delta}$, defined on (pairs of) convex bodies. Together with C. Saroglou, they…

Many star bodies have convex subsets with approximately the same Gaussian measure (of the complement). Inspired by this phenomenon, and in connection with the randomized Dvoretzky theorem for Lorentz spaces, we derive bounds on the…

In this paper, we investigate two questions on Kneser graphs $KG_{n,k}$. First, we prove that the union of $s$ intersecting families in ${[n]\choose k}$ has size at most ${n\choose k}-{n-s\choose k}$ for all sufficiently large $n$ that…

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…

We present an alternative approach to some results of Koldobsky on measures of sections of symmetric convex bodies, which allows us to extend them to the not necessarily symmetric setting. We prove that if $K$ is a convex body in ${\mathbb…

This paper proves that for every convex body in R^n there exist 5n-4 Minkowski symmetrizations, which transform the body into an approximate Euclidean ball. This result complements the sharp c n log n upper estimate by J. Bourgain, J.…

We prove the following isoperimetric-type inequality: for every convex body $K$ in $\mathbb R^n$ and some $\sigma\subset[n]:=\{1,\dots,n\}$ there exists a suitable Hanner polytope $B_K$ with the same volume as $K$ and such that the volume…

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…

It is a widely observed phenomenon in computer graphics that the size of the silhouette of a polyhedron is much smaller than the size of the whole polyhedron. This paper provides, for the first time, theoretical evidence supporting this for…

The Gauss-Minkowski correspondence in $\mathbb{R}^2$ states the existence of a homeomorphism between the probability measures $\mu$ on $[0,2\pi]$ such that $\int_0^{2\pi} e^{ix}d\mu(x)=0$ and the compact convex sets (CCS) of the plane with…

In this work we prove the following: let $K$ be a convex body in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 3$, contained in the interior of the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $p\in \mathbb{R}^n$ be a point such that, from each point…

In this article, we first prove that for general dispersive equations on Riemannian symmetric spaces of compact type $\mathbb{X}=U/K$, of rank $1$ and $2$, the Sobolev regularity threshold $\alpha >1/2$ for the initial data, is sufficient…

In this manuscript, we study the inequalities between measures of convex bodies implied by comparison of their projections and sections. Recently, Giannopoulos and Koldobsky proved that if convex bodies $K, L$ satisfy $|K|\theta^{\perp}|…

For a Minkowski centered convex compact set $K$ we define $\alpha(K)$ to be the smallest possible factor to cover $K \cap (-K)$ by a rescalation of $\mathrm{conv} (K\cup (-K))$ and give a complete description of the possible values of…
