Polyhedral Subspaces of $L_{p}$ and Polars of Zonotopes

Let $K$ be an origin-symmetric full-dimensional convex polytope in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\ge 3$. We show that, for $-n+3<p<1$, the normed space $(\mathbb R^n,\|\cdot\|_K)$ embeds in $L_p$ if and only if it embeds in $L_1$. The case of $p\le 0$ is understood in the generalized sense. In particular, an origin-symmetric full-dimensional convex polytope $K\subset\mathbb R^n$, $n\ge 5$, is an intersection body if and only if $K$ is the polar of a zonotope.

The Spherical Grünbaum Inequality

We prove an analogue of Grünbaum's inequality on the sphere. Let $n \geq 3$ and let $K$ be a convex body on $\mathbb S^{n-1}\subset \mathbb R^n$ with centroid at $θ\in \mathbb S^{n-1}$. Then for any $u\in \mathbb S^{n-1}$ that is orthogonal to $θ$ we have $$σ(K\cap u^+) \ge \left(1-\frac{1}{n}\right)^{n-1} σ(K),$$ where $σ$ denotes the spherical measure. The constant in this inequality is optimal.

On hyperbolic and functional analogues of questions of Grünbaum and Loewner

Myroshnychenko, Tatarko, and Yaskin constructed a body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n \geq 5$, with the property that there is exactly one hyperplane $H$ passing through $c(K)$, the centroid of $K$, such that the centroid of $K\cap H$ coincides with $c(K)$. This construction provided answers to questions of Grünbaum and Loewner for $n\geq 5$, which are still open in dimensions $3$ and $4$. We study analogues of these questions in the settings of hyperbolic space $\mathbb H^n$ and $s$-concave functions on $\mathbb R^n$.

A generalization of Grünbaum's inequality

Grünbaum's inequality gives sharp bounds between the volume of a convex body and its part cut off by a hyperplane through the centroid of the body. We provide a generalization of this inequality for hyperplanes that do not necessarily contain the centroid. As an application, we obtain a sharp inequality that compares sections of a convex body to the maximal section parallel to it.

On separably integrable symmetric convex bodies

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 $V_{K,H}(t)=\mathcal H^d(\{\boldsymbol x\in K:\mathrm{dist}(\boldsymbol x,H^\perp)\leq t\})$ can be written as a finite sum of products in which the dependence on $H\in\mathrm{Gr}(k,\mathbb R^d)$ and $t\in\mathbb R$ is separated. In this paper, we will obtain a complete classification of such bodies. Namely, we will prove that if $d-k$ is even, then $K$ is an ellipsoid, and if $d-k$ is odd, then $K$ is a Euclidean ball. This generalizes the recent classification of polynomially integrable convex bodies in the symmetric case.

On the maximal distance between the centers of mass of a planar convex body and its boundary

We prove that the length of the projection of the vector joining the centers of mass of a convex body on the plane and of its boundary to an arbitrary direction does not exceed $\frac{1}{6}$ of the body width in this direction. It follows that the distance between these centers of mass does not exceed $\frac16$ of the diameter of the body and $\frac{1}{12}$ of its boundary length. None of those constants can be improved.

How far apart can the projection of the centroid of a convex body and the centroid of its projection be?

We show that there is a constant $D \approx 0.2016$ such that for every $n$, every convex body $K\subset \mathbb R^n$, and every hyperplane $H\subset \mathbb R^n$, the distance between the projection of the centroid of $K$ onto $H$ and the centroid of the projection of $K$ onto $H$ is at most $D$ times the width of $K$ in the direction of the segment connecting the two points. The constant $D$ is asymptotically sharp.

An analog of polynomially integrable bodies in even-dimensional spaces

A bounded domain $K \subset \mathbb R^n$ is called polynomially integrable if the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of the intersection $K$ with a hyperplane $Π$ polynomially depends on the distance from $Π$ to the origin. It was proved in [7] that there are no such domains with smooth boundary if $n$ is even, and if $n$ is odd then the only polynomially integrable domains with smooth boundary are ellipsoids. In this article, we modify the notion of polynomial integrability for even $n$ and consider bodies for which the sectional volume function is a polynomial up to a factor which is the square root of a quadratic polynomial, or, equivalently, the Hilbert transform of this function is a polynomial. We prove that ellipsoids in even dimensions are the only convex infinitely smooth bodies satisfying this property.

Unique determination of ellipsoids by their dual volumes and the moment problem

Gusakova and Zaporozhets conjectured that ellipsoids in $\mathbb R^n$ are uniquely determined (up to an isometry) by their Steiner polynomials. Petrov and Tarasov confirmed this conjecture in $\mathbb R^3$. In this paper we solve the dual problem. We show that any ellipsoid in $\mathbb{R}^n$ centered at the origin is uniquely determined (up to an isometry) by its dual Steiner polynomial. To prove this result we reduce it to a problem of moments. As a by-product we give an alternative proof of the result of Petrov and Tarasov.

Applications of Grünbaum-type inequalities

Let $1\leq i \leq k < n$ be integers. We prove the following exact inequalities for any convex body $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ with centroid at the origin, and any $k$-dimensional subspace $E\subset \mathbb{R}^n$: \begin{align*} &V_i \big( K\cap E \big) \geq \left( \frac{i+1}{n+1} \right)^i \max_{x\in K} V_i \big( ( K-x) \cap E \big) , \\ &\widetilde{V}_i \big( K\cap E \big) \geq \left( \frac{i+1}{n+1} \right)^i \max_{x\in K} \widetilde{V}_i \big( ( K-x) \cap E \big) ; \end{align*} $V_i$ is the $i$th intrinsic volume, and $\widetilde{V}_i$ is the $i$th dual volume taken within $E$. Our results are an extension of an inequality of M. Fradelizi, which corresponds to the case $i=k$. Using the same techniques, we also establish extensions of "Grünbaum's inequality for sections" and "Grünbaum's inequality for projections" to dual volumes.

An extension of polynomial integrability to dual quermassintegrals

A body $K$ is called polynomially integrable if its parallel section function $V_{n-1}(K\cap\{ξ^\perp+tξ\})$ is a polynomial of $t$ (on its support) for every $ξ$. A complete characterization of such bodies was given recently. Here we obtain a generalization of these results in the setting of dual quermassintegrals. We also address the associated smoothness issues.

Busemann's intersection inequality in hyperbolic and spherical spaces

Busemann's intersection inequality asserts that the only maximizers of the integral $\int_{S^{n-1}} |K\capξ^\perp|^n dξ$ among all convex bodies of a fixed volume in $\mathbb R^n$ are centered ellipsoids. We study this question in the hyperbolic and spherical spaces, as well as general measure spaces.

On polynomially integrable convex bodies

An infinitely smooth convex body in $\mathbb R^n$ is called polynomially integrable of degree $N$ if its parallel section functions are polynomials of degree $N$. We prove that the only smooth convex bodies with this property in odd dimensions are ellipsoids, if $N\ge n-1$. This is in contrast with the case of even dimensions and the case of odd dimensions with $N<n-1$, where such bodies do not exist, as it was recently shown by Agranovsky.

Distribution functions of sections and projections of convex bodies

Typically, when we are given the section (or projection) function of a convex body, it means that in each direction we know the size of the central section (or projection) perpendicular to this direction. Suppose now that we can only get the information about the sizes of sections (or projections), and not about the corresponding directions. In this paper we study to what extent the distribution function of the areas of central sections (or projections) of a convex body can be used to derive some information about the body, its volume, etc.

Non-central sections of convex bodies

We study the following open problem, suggested by Barker and Larman. Let $K$ and $L$ be convex bodies in $\mathbb R^n$ ($n\ge 2$) that contain a Euclidean ball $B$ in their interiors. If $\mathrm{vol}_{n-1}(K\cap H) = \mathrm{vol}_{n-1}(L\cap H)$ for every hyperplane $H$ that supports $B$, does it follow that $K=L$? We discuss various modifications of this problem. In particular, we show that in $\mathbb R^2$ the answer is positive if the above condition is true for two disks, none of which is contained in the other. We also study some higher dimensional analogues.

Stability results for sections of convex bodies

It is shown by Makai, Martini, and Ódor that a convex body $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, all of whose maximal sections pass through the origin, must be origin-symmetric. We prove a stability version of this result. We also discuss a theorem of Koldobsky and Shane about determination of convex bodies by fractional derivatives of the parallel section function, and establish the corresponding stability result.
