We establish new geometric inequalities comparing the volumes of sections and projections of a convex body, whose barycenter or Santal\'o point is at the origin, with those of its inner and outer regularizations. We also provide functional…
We show that the non-symmetric Banach-Mazur distance between two convex bodies $K_1, K_2 \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ satisfies $$ d_{BM}(K_1, K_2) \leq C n \cdot \log^{\alpha} (n+1), $$ for universal constants $C, \alpha > 0$. This improves…
A metric polygon is a metric space comprised of a finite number of closed intervals joined cyclically. The second-named author and Ntalampekos recently found a method to bi-Lipschitz embed an arbitrary metric triangle in the Euclidean plane…
The Rogers-Shephard and Zhang's projection inequalities are two reverse, affine isoperimetric-type inequalities for convex bodies. Following a classical work by Schneider, both inequalities have been extended to the so-called $m$th-order…
We study the properties of $\text{CAT}(\kappa)$ surfaces: length metric spaces homeomorphic to a surface having curvature bounded above in the sense of satisfying the $\text{CAT}(\kappa)$ condition locally. The main facts about…
We establish a monotonicity property of the deficit associated with the local log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality (LLBM) under addition of line segments. As a corollary, if the LLBM holds for a convex body K, then it also holds for K+Z for any…
We introduce a notion of equivariant coarse cohomology of the complement of a subspace in a metric space. We use this cohomology to define a notion of coarse cohomology of the configuration space of a metric space and develop tools to…
We derive integral inequalities governing drainage time in convex solids, inspired by Torricelli's Law, and introduce the Torricelli number as a shape invariant. We use these considerations to construct a class of solids that can be used in…
For an $n\times n$ positive definite symmetric matrix $Z$ with $Z_{ii} = 1$ for all $i$, we show that there exists a set of vectors $V_Z\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ such that the radius $R$ of the circumsphere of $V_Z$ satisfies ${\rm Mag}\ Z =…
Intrinsic volumes are fundamental geometric invariants generalizing volume, surface area, and mean width for convex bodies. We establish a unified Laplace-Grassmannian representation for intrinsic and dual volumes of convex polynomial…
We present a construction of non-rectifiable, repetitive Delone sets in every Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ with $d \geq 2$. We further obtain a close to optimal repetitivity function for such sets. The proof is based on the process of…
Quasimetric spaces form a natural framework to study distance problems with an inherent directional asymmetry. We introduce a simple novel class of quasimetrics on probability simplices, inspired by the Chebyshev distance. It is shown that…
A paper torus is a piecewise linear isometric embedding of a flat torus into $\R^3$. Following up on the $8$-vertex paper tori discovered by the second author, we prove universality and collapsibility results about these objects. One…
We present a systematic approach for constructing bar frameworks that are rigid but not first-order rigid, using constrained optimization. We show that prestress stable (but not first-order rigid) frameworks arise as the solution to a…
We study point configurations on the torus $\mathbb T^d$ that minimize interaction energies with tensor product structure which arise naturally in the context of discrepancy theory and quasi-Monte Carlo integration. Permutation sets on…
It is well known that if a metric space is uniformly disconnected, then its conformal dimension is zero. First, we characterize when a self-affine sponge of Lalley-Gatzouras type is uniformly disconnected. Thanks to this characterization,…
The long-standing Godbersen's conjecture asserts that the Rogers-Shephard inequality for the volume of the difference body is refined by an inequality for the mixed volume of a convex body and its reflection about the origin. The conjecture…
In 1960, Gr\"{u}nbaum proved that for any convex body $C\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ and every halfspace $H$ containing the centroid of $C$, one has that the volume of $H\cap C$ is at least a $\frac{1}{e}$-fraction of the volume of $C$. Recently,…
The boundary $\partial X$ of a boundary continuous Gromov hyperbolic space $X$ carries a natural Moebius structure on the boundary. For a proper, geodesically complete, boundary continuous Gromov hyperbolic space $X$, the boundary $\partial…
This paper rigorously solves the challenging problem of recognizing periodic patterns under rigid motion in Euclidean geometry. The 3-dimensional case is practically important for justifying the novelty of solid crystalline materials…
