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 study the structures of two types of generalizations of intersection-bodies and the problem of whether they are in fact equivalent. Intersection-bodies were introduced by Lutwak and played a key role in the solution of the Busemann-Petty…

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…

We construct symmetric convex bodies that are not intersection bodies, but all of their central hyperplane sections are intersection bodies. This result extends the studies by Weil in the case of zonoids and by Neyman in the case of…

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…

Given two non-negative functions $f$ and $g$ such that the Radon transform of $f$ is pointwise smaller than the Radon transform of $g$, does it follow that the $L^p$-norm of $f$ is smaller than the $L^p$-norm of $g$ for a given $p>0$? We…

The spherical Radon transform on the unit sphere can be regarded as a member of the analytic family of suitably normalized generalized cosine transforms. We derive new formulas for these transforms and apply them to study classes of…

We disprove a conjecture of A. Koldobsky asking whether it is enough to compare $(n-2)$-derivatives of the projection functions of two symmetric convex bodies in the Shephard problem in order to get a positive answer in all dimensions.

Several generalizations of a commutative ring that is a graded complete intersection are proposed for a noncommutative graded $k$-algebra; these notions are justified by examples from noncommutative invariant theory.

We find general geometric conditions on a convex body of revolution K, in dimensions four and six, so that its intersection body IK is not a polar zonoid. We exhibit several examples of intersection bodies which are are not polar zonoids.

Let $\mathcal I_k$ be the class of convex $k$-intersection bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (in the sense of Koldobsky) and $\mathcal I_k^m$ be the class of convex origin-symmetric bodies all of whose $m$-dimensional central sections are…

In the paper "Isoperimetry of waists and local versus global asymptotic convex geometries", it was proved that the existence of nicely bounded sections of two symmetric convex bodies K and L implies that the intersection of randomly rotated…

The purpose of this paper is to study the reflections of a convex body. In particular, we are interested in orthogonal reflections of its sections that can be extended to reflections of the whole body. For this reason, we need to study the…

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…

Two cycles on a projective variety over an algebraically closed field are shown to be rationally equivalent if and only if their difference equals a difference of complete intersections of a certain kind. Some of Bloch's conjectures for…

We consider a body in a parallel flow of non-interacting particles. One can imagine that the flow is highly rarefied or consists of light rays. The interaction of particles with the body is perfectly elastic. We introduce the notions of a…

This paper is devoted to a systematic study of certain geometric integral inequalities which arise in continuum combinatorial approaches to $L^p$-improving inequalities for Radon-like transforms over polynomial submanifolds of intermediate…

The generalized circumradius of a set of points $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ with respect to a convex body $K$ equals the minimum value of $\lambda \geq 0$ such that $A$ is contained in a translate of $\lambda K$. Each choice of $K$ gives a…

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…

Generalized topological spaces in the sense of Cs\'{a}sz\'{a}r have two main features which distinguish them from typical topologies. First, these families of subsets are not closed under intersections. Second, we allow for the possibility…
