Illumination bodies for ball-convex bodies

We introduce illumination bodies and weighted illumination bodies in the class of $n$-dimensional $R$-ball convex bodies. These bodies may be regarded as dual counterparts of the recently introduced $R$-ball floating bodies. We prove that the illumination bodies are convex. We also show that a left derivative of volume gives rise to a surface area measure for ball-convex bodies, the relative surface area measure. In dimension $2$, we establish an isoperimetric inequality for this relative surface area.

Quantitative metric density and connectivity for sets of positive measure

We show that in doubling, geodesic metric measure spaces (including, for example, Euclidean space), sets of positive measure have a certain large-scale metric density property. As an application, we prove that a set of positive measure in the unit cube of $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be decomposed into a controlled number of subsets that are "well-connected" within the original set, along with a "garbage set" of arbitrarily small measure. Our results are quantitative, i.e., they provide bounds independent of the particular set under consideration.
