We survey the main extensions of the classical Hadamard, Liebmann and Cohn-Vossen rigidity theorems on convex surfaces of $3$-Euclidean space to the context of convex hypersurfaces of Riemannian manifolds. The results we present include the…

In this paper, we discuss a rigidity property for holomorphic disks in Teichm\"uller space. In fact, we give a refinement of Tanigawa's rigidity theorem. We will also treat the rigidity property of holomorphic disks for complex manifolds.…

Using the orthogonal connectedness, we introduce the notion of orthogonal decomposability of convex polytopes and study it in the case of Platonic and Archimedean solids. While doing so, we also encounter polytopes which are not…

A convex-polynomial is a convex combination of the monomials $\{1, x, x^2, \ldots\}$. This paper establishes that the convex-polynomials on $\mathbb R$ are dense in $L^p(\mu)$ and weak$^*$ dense in $L^\infty(\mu)$, precisely when…

We prove an exponential deviation inequality for the convex hull of a finite sample of i.i.d. random points with a density supported on an arbitrary convex body in $\R^d$, $d\geq 2$. When the density is uniform, our result yields rate…

Counting Euclidean triangulations with vertices in a finite set $\C$ of the convex hull $\conv(\C)$ of $\C$ is difficult in general, both algorithmically and theoretically. The aim of this paper is to describe nearly convex polygons, a…

We develop a topological approach to prove the generalized Lax conjecture using the fact that determinants of sufficiently big symmetric linear pencils are able to express the rigidly convex sets of RZ polynomials of any degree $d$.…

We present a short, direct proof of the uniform convexity of L^p spaces for 1<p<\infty.

This article is concerned with the approximation of unbounded convex sets by polyhedra. While there is an abundance of literature investigating this task for compact sets, results on the unbounded case are scarce. We first point out the…

Since Thurston pioneered the connection between circle packing (abbr. CP) and three-dimensional geometric topology, the characterization of CPs and hyperbolic polyhedra has become increasingly profound. Some milestones have been achieved,…

In (the surface of) a convex polytope P^n in R^n+1, for small prescribed volume, geodesic balls about some vertex minimize perimeter. This revision corrects a mistake in the mass bound argument in the proof of Theorem 3.8.

There are many four vertex type theorems appearing in the literature, coming in both smooth and discrete flavors. The most familiar of these is the classical theorem in differential geometry, which states that the curvature function of a…

We establish an entropy rigidity theorem for Hitchin representations of all geometrically finite Fuchsian groups which generalizes a theorem of Potrie and Sambarino for Hitchin representations of closed surface groups. In the process, we…

This paper gives two different proofs to a structural theorem of decreasing minimization (lexicographic optimization) on integrally convex sets. The theorem states that the set of decreasingly minimal elements of an integrally convex set…

We provide a short proof for the Figiel, Lindenstrauss and Milman inequality regarding the number of vertices and faces of certain polytope, with an explicit bound on the universal constant involved. The proof is completely elementary and…

In this paper, we prove the global rigidity of sphere packings on 3-dimensional manifolds. This is a 3-dimensional analogue of the rigidity theorem of Andreev-Thurston and was conjectured by Cooper and Rivin. We also prove a global rigidity…

We determine (non-necessarily convex) polyhedra having simple dense geodesics.

Reducing the NP-problems to the convex/linear analysis on the Birkhoff polytope.

In this paper, we develop a new index theory for manifolds with polyhedral boundary. As an application, we prove Gromov's dihedral extremality conjecture regarding comparisons of scalar curvatures, mean curvatures and dihedral angles…

We prove that any finite, abstract n-polytope is covered by a finite, abstract regular n-polytope.
