Efficiently samples arbitrary compact bodies with polynomial complexity.

Efficient algorithm for sampling from arbitrary compact bodies.

Given a 3-manifold that can be written as the double of a compression body, we compute the Chern-Simons critical values for arbitrary compact connected structure groups. We also show that the moduli space of flat connections is connected when there are no reducibles.

The paper extends inequalities for projection bodies to arbitrary measures.

Non-Euclidean, or incompatible elasticity is an elastic theory for pre-stressed materials, which is based on a modeling of the elastic body as a Riemannian manifold. In this paper we derive a dimensionally-reduced model of the so-called membrane limit of a thin incompatible body. By generalizing classical dimension red…

For nearly spherical bodies, the unique center is proven under certain conditions.

The Gauss curvature measure of a pointed Euclidean convex body is a measure on the unit sphere which extends the notion of Gauss curvature to non-smooth bodies. Alexandrov's problem consists in finding a convex body with given curvature measure. In Euclidean space, A.D. Alexandrov gave a necessary and sufficient condit…

Prove an isoperimetric inequality for compact bodies in 3D contact non-unimodular Lie groups.

The two-body problem with a central interaction on simply connected constant curvature spaces of an arbitrary dimension is considered. The explicit expression for the quantum two-body Hamiltonian via a radial differential operator and generators of the isometry group is found. We construct a self-adjoint extension of t…

In Minkowski geometry the unit ball is a compact convex body $K$ containing the origin in its interior. The boundary of the body is formed by the unit vectors. We also have a so-called Minkowski functional to measure the length of vectors. By changing the origin in the interior of the body we have a smoothly varying fa…

The paper solves reverse isoperimetric problems for convex bodies with curvature constraints.

New equations for rigid body motion on infinite-dimensional spaces of operators.

The hyperbolic space $ \H^d$ can be defined as a pseudo-sphere in the $(d+1)$ Minkowski space-time. In this paper, a Fuchsian group $Γ$ is a group of linear isometries of the Minkowski space such that $\H^d/Γ$ is a compact manifold. We introduce Fuchsian convex bodies, which are closed convex sets in Minkowski space, g…

Strongly convex bodies can be approximated by smooth ones.

The paper confirms a conjecture about convex bodies and their properties.

We review the theory of intrinsic geometry of convex surfaces in the Euclidean space and prove the following theorem: if the surface of a convex body K contains arbitrary long closed simple geodesics, then K is an isosceles tetrahedron.

Derives exact formula for Minkowski sum of ellipsoids in N-space.

This paper studies certain embedded spheres in closed affine manifolds. For $n \geq 3$, we investigate the dome bodies in a closed affine $n$-manifold $M$ with its boundary homeomorphic to a sphere under the assumption that a developing map restricted to a component of $\partial\hat{M}$ is an embedding onto a strictly …

We consider an inverse problem for a hyperbolic partial differential equation on a compact Riemannian manifold. Assuming that $Γ_1$ and $Γ_2$ are two disjoint open subsets of the boundary of the manifold we define the restricted Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator $Λ_{Γ_1,Γ_2}$. This operator corresponds the boundary measure…

The paper extends inequalities for convex bodies to higher dimensions and various norms.

Generalized Cauchy's surface area formula to arbitrary submanifolds in R^n.

We obtain a sharp characterization of the Euclidean ball among all convex bodies K whose boundary has a pointwise k-th mean curvature not smaller than a geometric constant at almost all normal points. This geometric constant depends only on the volume and the boundary area of K. We deduce this characterization from a n…

Given a convex body $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with the barycenter at the origin we consider the corresponding K{ä}hler-Einstein equation $e^{-Φ} = \det D^2 Φ$. If $K$ is a simplex, then the Ricci tensor of the Hessian metric $D^2 Φ$ is constant and equals $\frac{n-1}{4(n+1)}$. We conjecture that the Ricci tensor of $D^2…

We prove a general uniformization theorem for N=2 superconformal and N=1 superanalytic DeWitt super-Riemann surfaces, showing that in general an N=2 superconformal (resp. N=1 superanalytic) DeWitt super-Riemann surface is N=2 superconformally (resp., N=1 superanalytically) equivalent to a manifold with transition funct…

Paper provides closed-form time derivatives for rigid body systems.

In this paper we find strictly locally convex hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with prescribed curvature and boundary. The main result is that if the given data admits a strictly locally convex radial graph as a subsolution, we can find a radial graph realizing the prescribed curvature and boundary. As an applicatio…

We analyze the mapping class group of extendible automorphisms of the exterior boundary W of a compression body of dimension 3 or 4, which extend over the compression body (Q,V), where V is the interior boundary. Those that extend as automorphisms of (Q,V) rel V are called discrepant automorphisms, forming the mapping …

Can the Minkowski sum of two compact convex bodies be made smoother by rotating one of them? We construct two infinitely differentiable strictly convex plane bodies such that after any generic rotation (in the Baire category sense) of one of the summands the Minkowski sum is not five times differentiable. On the other …

In a preceding work it is determined when a centrally symmetric convex body in $\mathbb{R}^d,$ $d=d_1\cdots d_l,$ is the closed unit ball of a reasonable crossnorm on $\mathbb{R}^{d_1}\otimes\cdots\otimes\mathbb{R}^{d_l}.$ Consequently, the class of tensorial bodies is introduced, an associated tensorial Banach-Mazur d…

The paper studies rigidity and continuity in nonlinear elasticity on manifolds and hypersurfaces.

This paper continues the study of a class of compact convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space $R^{n+1}, ~n \geq 1$, which are boundaries of compact convex bodies obtained by taking the intersection of (solid) confocal paraboloids of revolution. Such hypersurfaces are called reflectors. In $R^3$ reflectors arise naturall…

Let n be a natural number equal or greater than 2. In this paper we study the topological structure of certain hyperspaces of convex subsets of constant width, equipped with the Hausdorff metric topology. We focus our attention on the hyperspace cw_D(R^n) of all compact convex subsets with constant width d\in D, where …

Let $(M,g)$ be a globally symmetric space of noncompact type, of arbitrary rank, and $Δ$ its Laplacian. We prove the existence of a meromorphic continuation of the resolvent $(Δ-\ev)^{-1}$ across the continuous spectrum to a Riemann surface multiply covering the plane. The methods are purely analytic and are adapted fr…

We generalize the Riesz potential of a compact domain in $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ by introducing a renormalization of the $r^{α-m}$-potential for $α\le0$. This can be considered as generalization of the dual mixed volumes of convex bodies as introduced by Lutwak. We then study the points where the extreme values of the (renorm…

Study shows limitations and universality of equivariant QNNs with $S_n$-equivariant gates.

We present an alternative proof of the following fact: the hyperspace of compact closed subsets of constant width in $\mathbb R^n$ is a contractible Hilbert cube manifold. The proof also works for certain subspaces of compact convex sets of constant width as well as for the pairs of compact convex sets of constant rela…

Locally convex compact immersed hypersurfaces in Finsler-Hadamard manifolds with bounded T-curvature are considered. We prove that such hypersurfaces are embedded as the boundary of convex body under certain conditions on the normal curvatures

In 3D space forms, a lens minimizes volume for a fixed surface area.

In this paper we consider the isoperimetric profile of convex cylinders $K\times\mathbb{R}^q$, where $K$ is an $m$-dimensional convex body, and of cylindrically bounded convex sets, i.e, those with a relatively compact orthogonal projection over some hyperplane of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, asymptotic to a right convex cylind…

Let $G$ be the identity component of the isometry group for an arbitrary curved two-point homogeneous space $M$. We consider algebras of $G$-invariant differential operators on bundles of unit spheres over $M$. The generators of this algebra and the corresponding relations for them are found. The connection of these ge…
