We improve an isoperimetric inequality due to Panos Papasoglu. We also generalize this inequality to the Finsler case by proving an optimal Finsler version of the Besicovitch's lemma which holds for any notion of Finsler volume.

Motivated by conjectures of Mahler and Makai Jr., we study bounds on the volume of a convex body in terms of the successive minima of its polar body.

In the following paper, we prove a dimension bound on the singular set of a Radon measure assuming its doubling ratio converges uniformly on compact sets. More precisely, we prove that if a Radon measure is $n$-Uniformly Asymptotically…

Upper estimates of the diameter and the radius of the family of all planar convex bodies with respect to the Banach-Mazur distance are obtained. Namely, it is shown that the diameter does not exceed $\tfrac{19-\sqrt{73}}4\approx 2.614$,…

It is natural to ask whether the center of mass of a convex body $K\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ lies in its John ellipsoid $B_K$, i.e., in the maximal volume ellipsoid contained in $K$. This question is relevant to the efficiency of many…

We study sequences of integral current spaces $(X_j,d_j,T_j)$ such that the integral current structure $T_j$ has weight $1$ and no boundary and, all $(X_j,d_j)$ are closed Alexandrov spaces with curvature uniformly bounded from below and…

Fix two points $p$ and $q$ in the plane and a positive number $k \neq 1$. A result credited to Apollonius of Perga states that the set of points $x$ that satisfy $d(x, p)/d(x, q) = k$ forms a circle. In this paper we study the analogous set…

We find a new proof for the celebrated theorem of Keith and Zhong that a $(1,p)$-Poincar\'e inequality self-improves to a $(1,p-\epsilon)$-Poincar\'e inequality. The paper consists of a novel characterization of Poincar\'e inequalities and…

Diversities are a generalization of metric spaces in which a non-negative value is assigned to all finite subsets of a set, rather than just to pairs of points. Here we provide an analogue of the theory of negative type metrics for…

We consider the distance function from an arbitrary point $p$ on a flat surface, and determine the set $F_{p}$ of all \emph{farthest points} (i.e., points at maximal distance) from $p$.

Let $1\leq i \leq k < n$ be integers. We prove the following exact inequalities for any convex body $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ with centroid at the origin, and any $k$-dimensional subspace $E\subset \mathbb{R}^n$: \begin{align*} &V_i \big(…

We demonstrate the necessity of a Poincar\'e type inequality for those metric measure spaces that satisfy Cheeger's generalization of Rademacher's theorem for all Lipschitz functions taking values in a Banach space with the Radon-Nikodym…

We characterize $n$-rectifiable metric measure spaces as those spaces that admit a countable Borel decomposition so that each piece has positive and finite $n$-densities and one of the following: is an $n$-dimensional Lipschitz…

Define the augmented square twist origami crease pattern to be the classic square twist crease pattern with one crease added along a diagonal of the twisted square. In this paper we fully describe the rigid foldability of this new crease…

The scope of this note is to make a self-contained survey of the recent developments and achievements of the theory of L1-Optimal Transportation on metric measure spaces. Among the results proved in the recent papers [20, 21] where the…

We characterize complete RNP-differentiability spaces as those spaces which are rectifiable in terms of doubling metric measure spaces satisfying some local $(1, p)$-Poincar\'e inequalities. This gives a full characterization of spaces…

Using a mathematical model for self-foldability of rigid origami, we determine which monohedral quadrilateral tilings of the plane are uniquely self-foldable. In particular, the Miura-ori and Chicken Wire patterns are not self-foldable…

We consider two notions of functions of bounded variation in complete metric measure spaces, one due to Martio and the other due to Miranda~Jr. We show that these two notions coincide, if the measure is doubling and supports a…

It is shown that a possibly irreversible $C^2$ Finsler metric on the torus, or on any other compact Euclidean space form, whose geodesics are straight lines is the sum of a flat metric and a closed $1$-form. This is used to prove that if…

This paper is concerned with applications of the theory of approximation and interpolation based on compensated convex transforms developed in [K. Zhang, E. Crooks, A. Orlando, Compensated convexity methods for approximations and…
