By following the ideas underpinning the well-established ``homogeneous model'' of an $n$-dimensional Euclidean space, we investigate whether the motion group or the weak motion group of an $n$-dimensional affine metric space on a vector…
Kedlaya, Kolpakov, Poonen, and Rubinstein classified tetrahedra all of whose dihedral angles are rational multiples of $\pi$ into two one-parameter families (a Hill family and a new family) and $59$ sporadic tetrahedra. In this paper, we…
We survey literature on all known families and examples of Dehn invariant zero tetrahedra. We also contribute two previously unknown families of Dehn invariant zero tetrahedra. Following a suggestion of Dill and Habegger, we show that there…
We provide a direct and elementary proof for the fact that every four point metric space is positive definite, which was first proved by Meckes based on some embedding theorems of metric spaces. As an outcome of the direct proof, we also…
Steinitz's theorem states that if the origin belongs to the interior of the convex hull of a set $Q \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, then there are at most $2d$ points $Q^\prime$ of $Q$ whose convex hull contains the origin in the interior.…
John's fundamental theorem characterizing the largest volume ellipsoid contained in a convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ has seen several generalizations and extensions. One direction, initiated by V. Milman is to replace ellipsoids by…
A new proof of the Wulff-Gage isoperimetric inequality for origin-symmetric convex bodies is provided. As its applications, we prove the uniqueness of log-Minkowski problem and a new proof of the log-Minkowski inequality of curvature…
Let $S$ be the 2-sphere and $V \subset S$ be a finite set of at least three points. We show that for each function $\kappa: V \rightarrow (0, 2\pi)$ satisfying elementary necessary conditions, in each discrete conformal class of spherical…
Magnitude is a numerical invariant of compact metric spaces, originally inspired by category theory and now known to be related to myriad other geometric quantities. Generalizing earlier results in $\ell_1^n$ and Euclidean space, we prove…
Magnitude is a numerical invariant of compact metric spaces. Its theory is most mature for spaces satisfying the classical condition of being of negative type, and the magnitude of such a space lies in the interval $[1, \infty]$. Until now,…
In this paper, an approach for generalizing the Gromov-Hausdorff metric is presented, which applies to metric spaces equipped with some additional structure. A special case is the Gromov-Hausdorff-Prokhorov metric between measured metric…
A nonempty closed convex set in ${\mathbb R}^n$, not containing the origin, is called a pseudo-cone if with every $x$ it also contains $\lambda x$ for $x\ge 1$. We consider pseudo-cones with a given recession cone $C$, called…
This paper considers an extremal version of the Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem. For a point set $P \subset \mathbb R^d$, let $\Delta(P)$ denote the set of all Euclidean distances determined by $P$. Our main result is the following: if…
The paper is devoted to some extremal problems, related to convex polygons in the Euclidean plane and their perimeters. We present a number of results that have simple formulations, but rather intricate proofs. Related and still unsolved…
We prove that if all intersections of a convex body $B\subset\mathbb R^4$ with 3-dimensional linear subspaces are linearly equivalent then $B$ is a centered ellipsoid. This gives an affirmative answer to the case $n=3$ of the following…
The mixed area of a Reuleaux polygon and its symmetric with respect to the origin is expressed in terms of the mixed area of two explicit polygons. This gives a geometric explanation of a classical proof due to Chakerian. Mixed areas and…
By using some simple tools from graph theory, we obtain a characterization of the planar convex bodies with Borsuk number equal to two. This result allows to give some examples of planar convex bodies with Borsuk number equal to three.…
For a convex body $C$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and a division of $C$ into convex subsets $C_1,\ldots,C_n$, we can consider $max\{F(C_1),\ldots, F(C_n)\}$ (respectively, $min\{F(C_1),\ldots, F(C_n)\}$), where $F$ represents one of these classical…
The group of combinatorial self-similarities of a pseudometric space $(X, d)$ is the maximal subgroup of the symmetric group $\mathbf{Sym} (X)$ whose elements preserve the four-point equality $d(x,y)=d(u,v)$. Let us denote by $\mathcal{IP}$…
In this paper, we study some structure properties on the (revised) fundamental group of RCD(0,N) spaces. Our main result generalizes earlier work of Sormani on Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and small linear diameter…
