In this note we introduce the problem of illumination of convex bodies in spherical spaces and solve it for a large subfamily of convex bodies. We derive from it a combinatorial version of the classical illumination problem for convex…

Given a symmetric convex body $C$ and $n$ hyperplanes in an Euclidean space, there is a translate of a multiple of $C$, at least ${1\over n+1}$ times as large, inside $C$, whose interior does not meet any of the hyperplanes. The result…

For every integer $k\geq 2$ and every $R>1$ one can find a dimension $n$ and construct a symmetric convex body $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ with $\text{diam}\,Q_{k-1}(K)\geq R\cdot\text{diam}\,Q_k(K)$, where $Q_k(K)$ denotes the $k$-convex hull…

We remark that an easy combination of two known results yields a positive answer, up to log(n) terms, to a duality conjecture that goes back to Pietsch. In particular, we show that for any two symmetric convex bodies K,T in R^n, denoting by…

In Euclidean space, we investigate surfaces whose mean curvature $H$ satisfies the equation $H=\alpha\langle N,\mathbf{x}\rangle+\lambda$, where $N$ is the Gauss map, $\mathbf{x}$ is the position vector and $\alpha$ and $\lambda$ are two…

Let M be a non-elementary convex cocompact hyperbolic 3 manifold and delta the critical exponent of its fundamental group. We prove that a one-dimensional unipotent flow for the frame bundle of M is ergodic for the Burger-Roblin measure…

We consider convex sets whose modulus of convexity is uniformly quadratic. First, we observe several interesting relations between different positions of such ``2-convex'' bodies; in particular, the isotropic position is a finite…

In this paper, we consider general $k$th-mixed curvature $\mathcal{C}^{(k)}_{\alpha,\beta}$ ($\beta\neq0$) for Hermitian manifolds, which is a convex combination of the $k$th Chern Ricci curvature and holomorphic sectional curvature. We…

We study the mean-field and semiclassical limit of the quantum many-body dynamics with a repulsive $\delta$-type potential $N^{3\beta}V(N^{\beta}x)$ and a Coulomb potential, which leads to a macroscopic fluid equation, the Euler-Poisson…

For a given $\lambda >0$, a convex body in $\mathbb R^n$ is $\lambda$-convex if it is the intersection of (finitely or infinitely many) balls of radius $1/\lambda$. In this note, we show that among all $\lambda$-convex bodies in $\mathbb…

We prove that no smooth symmetric convex body $\Omega$ with at least one point of non-vanishing Gaussian curvature can admit an orthogonal basis of exponentials. (The non-symmetric case was proven by Kolountzakis). This is further evidence…

We extend to Minkowski spaces the classical result of Barbosa and do Carmo [1] that characterizes the euclidean sphere as the unique compact stable CMC hypersurface of $\mathbb R^n$. More precisely, if $K$ is a smooth convex body in…

An infinitely smooth convex body in $\mathbb R^n$ is called polynomially integrable of degree $N$ if its parallel section functions are polynomials of degree $N$. We prove that the only smooth convex bodies with this property in odd…

We show that learning a convex body in $\RR^d$, given random samples from the body, requires $2^{\Omega(\sqrt{d/\eps})}$ samples. By learning a convex body we mean finding a set having at most $\eps$ relative symmetric difference with the…

We show that a $K$-quasiregular $\omega$-curve from a Euclidean domain to a Euclidean space with respect to a covector $\omega$ is locally $(1/K)(\lVert \omega\rVert/|\omega|_{\ell_1})$-H\"older continuous. We also show that quasiregular…

We show that a realization of a closed connected PL-manifold of dimension n-1 in n-dimensional Euclidean space (n>2) is the boundary of a convex polyhedron (finite or infinite) if and only if the interior of each (n-3)-face has a point,…

We show that scalar curvature lower bounds are preserved under certain weak convergence of smooth three manifolds to a smooth limit. More precisely, suppose that $M_k$ and $M$ are smooth, closed, Riemannian three manifolds. Assume that…

The aim of this paper is to present some properties of reduced spherical convex bodies on the two-dimensional sphere $S^2$. The intersection of two different non-opposite hemispheres is called a lune. By its thickness we mean the distance…

For convex partitions of a convex body $B$ we prove that we can put a homothetic copy of $B$ into each set of the partition so that the sum of homothety coefficients is $\ge 1$. In the plane the partition may be arbitrary, while in higher…

For a convex body on the Euclidean unit sphere the spherical convex floating body is introduced. The asymptotic behavior of the volume difference of a spherical convex body and its spherical floating body is investigated. This gives rise to…
