Given a natural $n$, we construct a two-coloring of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the maximum metric satisfying the following. For any finite set of reals $S$ with diameter greater than $5^{n}$ such that the distance between any two consecutive…
Cauchy's surface area formula says that for a convex body $K$ in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space the mean value of the $(n-1)$-dimensional volumes of the orthogonal projections of $K$ to hyperplanes is a constant multiple of the surface…
We provide a characterization of when a coarse equivalence between coarse disjoint unions of expander graphs is close to a bijective coarse equivalence. We use this to show that if the uniform Roe algebras of coarse disjoint unions of…
For any Wulff shape $\mathcal{W}$, its dual Wulff shape and spherical Wulff shape $\widetilde{\mathcal{W}}$ can be defined naturally. A self-dual Wulff shape is a Wulff shape equaling its dual Wulff shape exactly. In this paper, we show…
We prove that if a metric space $X$ has Nagata dimension zero with constant $c$, then there exists a dense subset of $X$ that is $8c$-bilipschitz equivalent to a weighted tree. The factor $8$ is the best possible if $c=1$, that is, if $X$…
The questions of the measure and finding open intervals in certain sets of sums and products of elements of the middle third Cantor set (or a variant of it), have generated considerable interest recently. A broad general framework that…
We study the lower bound for Koldobsky's slicing inequality. We show that there exists a measure $\mu$ and a symmetric convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, such that for all $\xi\in S^{n-1}$ and all $t\in \mathbb{R},$…
Using a residuum approach, we provide a complete description of the space of the rational spatial curves of given tangent directions. The rational Pythagorean hodograph curves are obtained as a special case when the norm of the direction…
A problem that is simple to state in the context of spherical geometry, and that seems rather interesting, appears to have been unexamined to date in the mathematical literature. The problem can also be recast as a problem in the real…
The Kakeya conjecture is generally formulated as one the following statements: every compact/Borel/arbitrary subset of ${\mathbb R}^n$ that contains a (unit) line segment in every direction has Hausdorff dimension $n$; or, sometimes, that…
We give a detailed description of the possible limits in the equivariant-Gromov-Hausdorff sense of sequences $(X_j,G_j)$, where the $X_j$'s are proper, geodesically complete, uniformly packed, CAT$(0)$-spaces and the $G_j$'s are closed,…
We generate non-lattice packings of spheres in up to 22 dimensions using the geometrical constraint satisfaction algorithm RRR. Our aggregated data suggest that it is easy to double the density of Ball's lower bound, and more tentatively,…
We prove that the Ahlfors regular conformal dimension is upper semicontinuous with respect to Gromov-Hausdorff convergence when restricted to the class of uniformly perfect, uniformly quasi-selfsimilar metric spaces. Moreover we show the…
Weighted cone-volume functionals are introduced for the convex polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^n$. For these functionals, geometric inequalities are proved and the equality conditions are characterized. A variety of corollaries are derived,…
We study the reach (in the sense of Federer) of the natural isometric embedding $X\hookrightarrow W_p(X)$ of $X$ inside its $p$-Wasserstein space, where $(X,\operatorname{dist})$ is a geodesic metric space. We prove that if a point $x\in X$…
We prove the following fundamental property for the Fermat-Torricelli point for four non-collinear and non-coplanar points forming a tetrahedron in $\mathbb{R}^{3},$ which states that: The three bisecting lines having as a common vertex the…
An infinitely smooth symmetric convex body $K\subset\mathbb R^d$ is called $k$-separably integrable, $1\leq k<d$, if its $k$-dimensional isotropic volume function $V_{K,H}(t)=\mathcal H^d(\{\boldsymbol x\in K:\mathrm{dist}(\boldsymbol…
The mean width of a convex body is the average distance between parallel supporting hyperplanes when the normal direction is chosen uniformly over the sphere. The Simplex Mean Width Conjecture (SMWC) is a longstanding open problem that says…
A small polygon is a polygon of unit diameter. The maximal perimeter and the maximal width of a convex small polygon with $n=2^s$ sides are unknown when $s \ge 4$. In this paper, we propose an approach to construct convex small $n$-gons of…
Investigation of the mathematical requirements for a three dimensional geometrical object to qualify as a Gomboc (mono-monostatic) has resulted in the discovery of two specific, analytical Gomboc shapes. Analytical in that the function…
