Let two distinct $N$-simplexes be given in an Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean $N+1$ dimensional space as each is defined by the coordinates of its $N+1$ vertexes. We consider the two families of $N$-spheres passing through the vertexes of the…

We introduce a novel intrinsic volume concept in tropical geometry. This is achieved by developing the foundations of a tropical analog of lattice point counting in polytopes. We exhibit the basic properties and compare it to existing…

The 'contracting boundary' of a proper geodesic metric space consists of equivalence classes of geodesic rays that behave like rays in a hyperbolic space. We introduce a geometrically relevant, quasi-isometry invariant topology on the…

This note presents simple linear algebraic proofs of theorems due to Sinajova, Rankin and Kuperberg concerning spherical point configurations. The common ingredient in these proofs is the use of spherical Euclidean distance matrices and the…

Recall that a convex body $K$ is in John's position if the unit Euclidean ball is the maximal volume ellipsoid contained in $K$. Approximating convex body in John's position by polytopes we obtain the following results. 1. Let $n>R_n\ge 1$…

The problem of finding the largest number of points in the unit cross-polytope such that the $l_{1}$-distance between any two distinct points is at least $2r$ is investigated for $r\in\left(1-\frac{1}{n},1\right]$ in dimensions $\geq2$ and…

This paper presents an additional class of regular polyhedra--envelope polyhedra--made of regular polygons, where the arrangement of polygons (creating a single surface) around each vertex is identical; but dihedral angles between faces…

A classical theorem of P. McMullen describes all valuations on polytopes that are invariant under translations and weakly continuous, i.e., continuous with respect to parallel displacements of the facets of a polytope. While it is typically…

We say that a finite metric space $X$ can be embedded almost isometrically into a class of metric spaces $C$, if for every $\epsilon > 0$ there exists an embedding of $X$ into one of the elements of $C$ with the bi-Lipschitz distortion less…

We provide general inequalities that compare the surface area S(K) of a convex body K in ${\mathbb R}^n$ to the minimal, average or maximal surface area of its hyperplane or lower dimensional projections. We discuss the same questions for…

In this paper, we introduce the anisotropic Sobolev capacity with fractional order and develop some basic properties for this new object. Applications to the theory of anisotropic fractional Sobolev spaces are provided. In particular, we…

A well-known theorem of Sch\"utte (1963) gives a sharp lower bound for the ratio between the maximum distance and minimum distance between n+2 points in n-dimensional Euclidean space. In this brief note we adapt B\'ar\'any's elegant proof…

One of the fundamental results in Convex Geometry is Busemann's theorem, which states that the intersection body of a symmetric convex body is convex. Thus, it is only natural to ask if there is a quantitative version of Busemann's theorem,…

We prove that if f : R^N --> R is quasiconvex and U is open in the density topology of R^N, then sup_U f = ess sup_U f, while inf_U f = ess inf_U f if and only if the equality holds when U = R^N. The first (second) property is typical of…

The similar sublattices of a planar lattice can be classified via its multiplier ring. The latter is the ring of rational integers in the generic case, and an order in an imaginary quadratic field otherwise. Several classes of examples are…

In a 2013 paper, Cheeger and Kleiner introduced a new type of dimension for metric spaces, the "Lipschitz dimension". We study the dimension-theoretic properties of Lipschitz dimension, including its behavior under Gromov-Hausdorff…

We develop a new definition of fractals which can be considered as an abstraction of the fractals determined through self-similarity. The definition is formulated through imposing conditions which are governed the relation between the…

We describe the optimal horoball packings of asymptotic Koszul type Coxeter simplex tilings of $5$-dimensional hyperbolic space where the symmetries of the packings are generated by Coxeter groups. We find that the optimal horoball packing…

We prove that not every metric space embeds coarsely into an Alexandrov space of nonpositive curvature. This answers a question of Gromov (1993) and is in contrast to the fact that any metric space embeds coarsely into an Alexandrov space…

Given the pair of vector fields $X=\partial_x+|z|^{2m}y\partial_t$ and $ Y=\partial_y-|z|^{2m}x \partial_t,$ where $(x,y,t)= (z,t)\in\mathbb{R}^3=\mathbb{C}\times\mathbb{R}$, we give a condition on a bounded domain…
