Study geodesic equation on mixed-volume forms on balanced manifolds, proving existence of solutions.

Let $V_i$ be a finite dimensional Hermitian vector space of holomorphic sections of a line bundle $L_i$ on a complex $n$-dimensional manifold $X$. We associate to $V_i$ the non-negative Hermitian quadratic form $g_i$ on $X,$ define a Hermitian mixed volume of $X$ for a "mixing tuple" of $n$ non-negative Hermitian forms…

Proves regularity of geodesic equation on Hermitian manifolds.

The goal of this article is to establish estimates involving the Yamabe minimal volume, mixed minimal volume and some topological invariants on compact 4-manifolds. In addition, we provide topological sphere theorems for compact submanifolds of spheres and Euclidean spaces, provided that the full norm of the second fun…

We construct an oriented cobordism between moduli spaces of flat connections on the three holed sphere and disjoint unions of toric varieties, together with a closed two-form which restricts to the symplectic forms on the ends. As applications, we obtain formulas for mixed Pontrjagin numbers and Witten's formulas for s…

In a seminal paper "Volumen und Oberfläche" (1903), Minkowski introduced the basic notion of mixed volumes and the corresponding inequalities that lie at the heart of convex geometry. The fundamental importance of characterizing the extremals of these inequalities was already emphasized by Minkowski himself, but has to…

We are generalizing to higher dimensions the Bavard-Ghys construction of the hyperbolic metric on the space of polygons with fixed directions of edges. The space of convex d-dimensional polyhedra with fixed directions of facet normals has a decomposition into type cones that correspond to different combinatorial types …

Solves a long-standing convex geometry problem about mixed volumes.

This paper concerns the evolution of a closed hypersurface of dimension $n(\geq 2)$ in the Euclidean space ${\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}$ under a mixed volume preserving flow. The speed equals a power $β(\geq 1)$ of homogeneous, either convex or concave, curvature functions of degree one plus a mixed volume preserving term, incl…

Uniform volume estimate for Kähler metrics in big cohomology classes.

Consider a $d\times d$ matrix $M$ whose rows are independent centered non-degenerate Gaussian vectors $ξ_1,...,ξ_d$ with covariance matrices $Σ_1,...,Σ_d$. Denote by $\mathcal{E}_i$ the location-dispersion ellipsoid of $ξ_i:\mathcal{E}_i={\mathbf{x}\in\mathbb{R}^d : \mathbf{x}^\topΣ_i^{-1} \mathbf{x}\leqslant1}$. We sh…

At the heart of convex geometry lies the observation that the volume of convex bodies behaves as a polynomial. Many geometric inequalities may be expressed in terms of the coefficients of this polynomial, called mixed volumes. Among the deepest results of this theory is the Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality, which subsumes…

This paper develops basic setting for the dual Orlicz-Brunn-Minkowski theory for star bodies. An Orlicz $\varphi$-radial addition of two or more star bodies is proposed and related dual Orlicz-Brunn-Minkowski inequality is established. Based on a linear Orlicz $\varphi$-radial addition of two star bodies, we derive a f…

We consider curvature flows in hyperbolic space with a monotone, symmetric, homogeneous of degree 1 curvature function F. Furthermore we assume F to be either concave and inverse concave or convex. For compact initial hypersurfaces, which are strictly convex by horospheres, we show the long time existence of mixed volu…

Proves Hodge-Riemann relations for mixed valuations and strengthens geometric inequalities.

Some methods based on simple regularizing geometric element transformations have heuristically been shown to give runtime efficient and quality effective smoothing algorithms for meshes. We describe the mathematical framework and a systematic approach to global optimization-based versions of such methods for mixed volu…

Employing a recent technique which allows the representation of nonstationary data by means of a juxtaposition of locally stationary patches of different length, we introduce a comprehensive analysis of the key observables in a financial market: the trading volume and the price fluctuations. From the segmentation proce…

Let $X$ be an $n$-dimensional manifold and $V_1, \ldots, V_n \subset C^\infty(X, \mathbb R)$ finite-dimensional vector spaces with Euclidean metric. We assign to each $V_i$ a Finsler ellipsoid, i.e., a family of ellipsoids in the fibers of the cotangent bundle of $X$. We prove that the average number of isolated common…

The general volume of a star body, a notion that includes the usual volume, the $q$th dual volumes, and many previous types of dual mixed volumes, is introduced. A corresponding new general dual Orlicz curvature measure is defined that specializes to the $(p,q)$-dual curvature measures introduced recently by Lutwak, Ya…

In this paper we investigate the flow of surfaces by a class of symmetric functions of the principal curvatures with a mixed volume constraint. We consider compact surfaces without boundary that can be written as a graph over a sphere. The linearisation of the resulting fully nonlinear PDE is used to prove a short time…

Natural volume forms defined for pseudo-Finslerian manifolds with specific metrics.

We extend the classical Aleksandrov-Fenchel inequality for mixed volumes to functionals arising naturally in hermitian integral geometry. As a consequence, we obtain Brunn-Minkowski and isoperimetric inequalities for hermitian quermassintegrals.

S. Donaldson introduced a metric on the space of volume forms, with fixed total volume on any compact Riemmanian manifold. With this metric, the space of volume forms formally has non-positive curvature. The geodesic equation is a fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic equation. We solve the geodesic equation and its pert…

In this paper we study the equidistribution of expanding horospheres in infinite volume geometrically finite rank one locally symmetric manifolds and apply it to the orbital counting problem in apollonian sphere packing.

We consider the flow of closed convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with speed given by a power of the $k$-th mean curvature $E_k$ plus a global term chosen to impose a constraint involving the enclosed volume $V_{n+1}$ and the mixed volume $V_{n+1-k}$ of the evolving hypersurface. We prove that i…

In the context of Synthetic Differential Geometry, we describe the square volume of a ``second-infinitesimal simplex'', in terms of square-distance between its vertices. The square-volume function thus described is symmetric in the vertices. The square-volume gives rise to a characterization of the volume form in the t…

Study of Anosov flows using microlocal analysis for ergodicity and mixing properties.

The Orlicz-Brunn-Minkowski theory receives considerable attention recently, and many results in the $L_p$-Brunn-Minkowski theory have been extended to their Orlicz counterparts. The aim of this paper is to develop Orlicz $L_φ$ affine and geominimal surface areas for single convex body as well as for multiple convex bod…

For closed and oriented hyperbolic surfaces, a formula of Witten establishes an equality between two volume forms on the space of representations of the surface in a semisimple Lie group. One of the forms is a Reidemeister torsion, the other one is the power of the Atiyah-Bott-Goldman symplectic form. We introduce an h…

Let $X$ be an $n$-dimensional manifold and $V_1,\ldots,V_n\subset C^\infty(X,\mathbb R)$ finite-dimensional vector spaces. For systems of equations $\{f_i = a_i\colon\: f_i\in V_i,\:a_i \in\mathbb R,\:i=1,\ldots,n\}$ we discover a relationship between the average number of their solutions and mixed volumes of convex bo…

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…
