In 2000, A. Koldobsky asked whether two types of generalizations of the notion of an intersection-body, are in fact equivalent. The structures of these two types of generalized intersection-bodies have been studied by the author in…
We introduce complex intersection bodies and show that their properties and applications are similar to those of their real counterparts. In particular, we generalize Busemann's theorem to the complex case by proving that complex…
The aim of this paper is to study properties of sections of convex bodies with respect to different types of measures. We present a formula connecting the Minkowski functional of a convex symmetric body K with the measure of its sections.…
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…
Intersection bodies represent a remarkable class of geometric objects associated with sections of star bodies and invoking Radon transforms, generalized cosine transforms, and the relevant Fourier analysis. The main focus of this article is…
We consider the problem of comparing the volumes of two star bodies in an even-dimensional euclidean space $\mathbb R^{2n} = \mathbb C^n$ by comparing their cross sectional areas along complex lines (special 2-dimensional real planes)…
Busemann's intersection inequality gives an upper bound for the volume of the intersection body of a star body in terms of the volume of the body itself. Koldobsky, Paouris, and Zymonopoulou asked if there is a similar result for…
This article belongs to the area of geometric tomography, which is the study of geometric properties of solids based on data about their sections and projections. We describe a new direction in geometric tomography where different…
Interpolating between the classic notions of intersection and polar centroid bodies, (real) $L_p$-intersection bodies, for $-1<p<1$, play an important role in the dual $L_p$-Brunn--Minkowski theory. Inspired by the recent construction of…
Busemann-Petty type problems for the recently introduced complex projection, centroid and $L_p$-intersection body operators are examined. Moreover, it is shown that, as their real counterparts, they can be linked to the spherical Fourier…
The lower dimensional Busemann-Petty problem asks, whether n-dimensional centrally symmetric convex bodies with smaller i-dimensional central sections necessarily have smaller volumes. The paper contains a complete solution to the problem…
The generalized Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin-symmetric convex bodies with lower-dimensional smaller sections necessarily have smaller volume. We study the weighted version of this problem corresponding to the physical…
The article builds on several recent advances in the Monge-Kantorovich theory of mass transport which have -- among other things -- led to new and quite natural proofs for a wide range of geometric inequalities such as the ones formulated…
Lutwak's volume inequalities for polar projection bodies of all orders are generalized to polarizations of Minkowski valuations generated by even, zonal measures on the Euclidean unit sphere. This is based on analogues of mixed projection…
We study isomorphic properties of two generalizations of intersection bodies, the class of k-intersection bodies and the class of generalized k-intersection bodies. We also show that the Banach-Mazur distance of the k-intersection body of a…
We provide an affirmative answer to a variant of the Busemann-Petty problem, proposed by V.~Milman: Let $K$ be a convex body in ${\mathbb R}^n$ and let $D$ be a compact subset of ${\mathbb R}^n$ such that, for some $1\ls k\ls n-1$,…
This paper combines the post-Minkowskian expansion of general relativity with the language of intersection theory. Because of the nature of the soft limit inherent to the post-Minkowskian expansion, the intersection-based approach is of…
We present a method which shows that in $\Eb$ the Busemann-Petty problem, concerning central sections of centrally symmetric convex bodies, has a positive answer. Together with other results, this settles the problem in each dimension.
Let B be a finite collection of geometric (not necessarily convex) bodies in the plane. Clearly, this class of geometric objects naturally generalizes the class of disks, lines, ellipsoids, and even convex polygons. We consider geometric…
The inequalities of Petty and Zhang are affine isoperimetric-type inequalities providing sharp bounds for $\text{vol}^{n-1}_{n}(K)\text{vol}_n(\Pi^\circ K),$ where $\Pi K$ is a projection body of a convex body $K$. In this paper, we present…
