For some centrally symmetric convex bodies $K\subset \mathbb R^n$, we study the energy integral $$ \sup \int_{K} \int_{K} \|x - y\|_r^{p}\, d\mu(x) d\mu(y), $$ where the supremum runs over all finite signed Borel measures $\mu$ on $K$ of…
Let $K \subset \mathbb R^n$ be a convex body with barycenter at the origin. We show there is a simplex $S \subset K$ having also barycenter at the origin such that $\left(\frac{vol(S)}{vol(K)}\right)^{1/n} \geq \frac{c}{\sqrt{n}},$ where…
We introduce the vertex index, vein(K), of a given centrally symmetric convex body K, which, in a sense, measures how well K can be inscribed into a convex polytope with small number of vertices. This index is closely connected to the…
$ \newcommand{\R}{{\mathbb{R}}} \newcommand{\Z}{{\mathbb{Z}}} \renewcommand{\vec}[1]{{\mathbf{#1}}} $We show that if $K \subset \R^d$ is an origin-symmetric convex body, then there exists a vector $\vec{y} \in \Z^d$ such that \begin{align*}…
The Borsuk number of a set S of diameter d >0 in Euclidean n-space is the smallest value of m such that S can be partitioned into m sets of diameters less than d. Our aim is to generalize this notion in the following way: The k-fold Borsuk…
In this paper, we obtain the best possible value of the absolute constant $C$ such that for every isotropic convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ the following inequality (which was proved by Klartag and reduces the hyperplane conjecture…
We investigate the intersections of balls of radius $r$, called $r$-ball bodies, in Euclidean $d$-space. An $r$-lense (resp., $r$-spindle) is the intersection of two balls of radius $r$ (resp., balls of radius $r$ containing a given pair of…
In ["Illumination of convex bodies with many symmetries", Mathematika 63 (2017)], Tikhomirov verified the Hadwiger-Boltyanski Illumination Conjecture for the class of 1-symmetric convex bodies of sufficiently large dimension. We propose an…
We study a long standing open problem by Ulam, which is whether the Euclidean ball is the unique body of uniform density which will float in equilibrium in any direction. We answer this problem in the class of origin symmetric n-dimensional…
Approximating convex bodies is a fundamental problem in geometry. Given a convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for a fixed dimension $d$, the objective is to minimize the number of facets of an approximating polytope for a given Hausdorff…
Hadwiger's covering conjecture is that every $n$-dimensional convex body can be covered by at most $2^n$ of its smaller positive homothetic copies, with $2^n$ copies required only for affine images of $n$-cube. Convex hull of a ball and an…
Let an $R$-body be the complement of the union of open balls of radius $R$ in $\mathbb{E}^d$. The $R$-hulloid of a closed not empty set $A$, the minimal $R$-body containing $A$, is investigated; if $A$ is the set of the vertices of a…
We prove a randomized version of the generalized Urysohn inequality relating mean-width to the other intrinsic volumes. To do this, we introduce a stochastic approximation procedure that sees each convex body K as the limit of intersections…
Here we show that any n-dimensional centrally symmetric convex body K has an n-dimensional perturbation T which is convex and centrally symmetric, such that the isotropic constant of T is universally bounded. T is close to K in the sense…
While there is extensive literature on approximation of convex bodies by inscribed or circumscribed polytopes, much less is known in the case of generally positioned polytopes. Here we give upper and lower bounds for approximation of convex…
Let $K, D$ be $n$-dimensional convex bodes. Define the distance between $K$ and $D$ as $$ d(K,D) = \inf \{\lambda | T K \subset D+x \subset \lambda \cdot TK \}, $$ where the infimum is taken over all $x \in R^n$ and all invertible linear…
It is proved that if $u_1,\ldots, u_n$ are vectors in ${\Bbb R}^k, k\le n, 1 \le p < \infty$ and $$r = ({1\over k} \sum ^n_1 |u_i|^p)^{1\over p}$$ then the volume of the symmetric convex body whose boundary functionals are $\pm u_1,\ldots,…
The aim of this note is to investigate the properties of the convex hull and the homothetic convex hull functions of a convex body $K$ in Euclidean $n$-space, defined as the volume of the union of $K$ and one of its translates, and the…
The Rolling Ball Theorem asserts that given a convex body K in Euclidean space and having a smooth surface bd(K) with all principal curvatures not exceeding c>0 at all boundary points, K necessarily has the property that to each boundary…
Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb R^n$. We prove that in small codimensions, the sections of a convex body through the centroid are quite symmetric with respect to volume. As a consequence of our estimates we give a positive answer to a…
