Let $\Gamma$ be a Polish space and let $K$ be a separable and pointwise compact set of real-valued functions on $\Gamma$. It is shown that if each function in $K$ has only countably many discontinuities then $C(K)$ may be equipped with a…

Let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbf{Q}_p$ and let $G_K = \mathrm{Gal}(\bar{\mathbf{Q}}_p/K)$. There is a very useful classification of $p$-adic representations of $G_K$ in terms of cyclotomic $(\varphi,\Gamma)$-modules (cyclotomic…

The radial mean bodies of parameter $p>-1$ of a convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb R^n$ are radial sets introduced in [4] by Gardner and Zhang. They are known to be convex for $p\geq 0$. We prove that if $K \subseteq \mathbb R^2$ is a convex…

Let $c:\mathcal{G}\to\R$ be a cocycle on a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ with Haar system. Under some mild conditions (satisfied by all integer valued cocycles on \'{e}tale groupoids), $c$ gives rise to an unbounded odd…

Let $L$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and $n\geq 2$. We associate to a crystabelline $n$-dimensional representation of $\mathrm{Gal}(\overline L/L)$ satisfying mild genericity assumptions a finite length locally…

We represent the volume product for the unit p-ball in a a form free of its gamma symbolism;this will enable us to confirm Mahler's lower bound and Santalo's upper bound by the use of basic only gamma function theory and moderately advanced…

The section volume function $A_K(\xi,t), \ \xi \in \mathbb R^n, \ t \in \mathbb R,$ of a body $K \subset \mathbb R^n$ evaluates the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of the cross-section $K$ by the hyperplane $\{ x \cdot \xi=t \}.$ We are…

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…

Suppose $K$ is a finite field extension of $\mathbb{Q} _p$ containing a primitive $p$-th root of unity. Let $\Gamma _{<p}$ be the Galois group of a maximal $p$-extension of $K$ with the Galois group of period $p$ and nilpotent class $<p$.…

We compute the algebraic K-theory modulo p and v_1 of the S-algebra ell/p = k(1), using topological cyclic homology. We use this to compute the homotopy cofiber of a transfer map K(L/p) --> K(L_p), which we interpret as the algebraic…

Most parametrizations for dark energy involve the equation of state $w$ of the dark energy. In this work, we choose the pressure of the dark energy to parametrize. As $p = constant$ essentially gives a cosmological constant, we use the…

Let $G$ be a Lie group with real semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. Further let $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{k} \oplus \mathfrak{p}$ be a Cartan decomposition. The maximal compact subgroup $K \subseteq G$ acts on $\mathfrak{p}$ via the…

The temperature and polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), as measured today, may offer key insights into the topology of the early universe prior to inflation, for example, by discriminating between flat and warped…

In this work we prove the following result: Let $K$ be a strictly convex body in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n, n\geq 3$, and let $L$ be a hypersurface, which is the image of an embedding of the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$, such that $K$…

Let $G$ be the Lie group $SO_e(4,1)$, with maximal compact subgroup $K = S(O(4) \times O(1))_e\cong SO(4)$. Let $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{so}(5,\mathbb{C})$ be the complexification of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}_0 = \mathfrak{so}(4,1)$ of…

Let $G$ be a simply-connected, simple compact Lie group of type $\{n_{1},\ldots,n_{\ell}\}$, where $n_{1}\le\cdots \le n_{\ell}$. Let $\mathcal{G}_k$ be the gauge group of the principal $G$-bundle (namedright{P}{}{S^{4}}) whose isomorphism…

We define new surface area measures for ball-convex bodies which we call $L_p$ relative surface areas. We show that those are rigid motion invariant valuations. We establish inequalities for these quantities and prove a monotonicity…

This paper contains a number of results related to volumes of projective perturbations of convex bodies and the Laplace transform on convex cones. First, it is shown that a sharp version of Bourgain's slicing conjecture implies the Mahler…

We consider the Besov space $B^{p,q}_\alpha(G)$ on a unimodular Lie group $G$ equipped with a sublaplacian $\Delta$. Using estimates of the heat kernel associated with $\Delta$, we give several characterizations of Besov spaces, and show an…

We consider the question how well a floating body can be approximated by the polar of the illumination body of the polar. We establish precise convergence results in the case of centrally symmetric polytopes. This leads to a new affine…
