This paper develops basic setting for the dual Orlicz-Brunn-Minkowski theory for star bodies. An Orlicz φ-radial addition of two or more star bodies is proposed and related dual Orlicz-Brunn-Minkowski inequality is established. Based on a linear Orlicz φ-radial addition of two star bodies, we derive a f…
This paper aims to develop basic theory for the dual Orlicz Lφ affine and geominimal surface areas for star bodies, which belong to the recent dual Orlicz-Brunn-Minkowski theory for star bodies. Basic properties for these new affine invariants will be provided. Moreover, related Orlicz affine isoperimetric inequalit…
Analogues of the classical inequalities from the Brunn-Minkowski theory for rotation intertwining additive maps of convex bodies are developed. Analogues are also proved of inequalities from the dual Brunn-Minkowski theory for intertwining additive maps of star bodies. These inequalities provide generalizations of resu…
The general volume of a star body, a notion that includes the usual volume, the qth 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…
The spherical Radon transform on the unit sphere can be regarded as a member of the analytic family of suitably normalized generalized cosine transforms. We derive new formulas for these transforms and apply them to study classes of intersections bodies in convex geometry.
We consider the corresponding Christoffel-Minkowski problem for curvature measures. The existence of star-shaped (n−k)-convex bodies with prescribed k-th curvature measures (k>0) has been a longstanding problem. This is settled in this paper through the establishment of a crucial C2 a priori estimate for the c…
The Orlicz-Brunn-Minkowski theory receives considerable attention recently, and many results in the Lp-Brunn-Minkowski theory have been extended to their Orlicz counterparts. The aim of this paper is to develop Orlicz Lφ affine and geominimal surface areas for single convex body as well as for multiple convex bod…
We present a new, fully generative model of optical telescope image sets, along with a variational procedure for inference. Each pixel intensity is treated as a Poisson random variable, with a rate parameter dependent on latent properties of stars and galaxies. Key latent properties are themselves random, with scientif…

In this article, we introduce the notion of star-Ricci tensors in the real hypersurfaces of complex quadric Qm. It is proved that there exist no Hopf hypersurfaces in Qm,m≥3, with commuting star-Ricci tensor or parallel star-Ricci tensor. As a generalization of star-Einstein metric, star-Ricci solitons on M …
We compare the star surgery operations introduced in [KS] to the generalized rational blow-down. We show that star surgery shares the properties that make rational blow-down useful for constructions of small exotic symplectic 4-manifolds. Then we show that star surgery operations provide a strictly more general class o…
We derive a closed formula for a star-product on complex projective space and on the domain SU(n+1)/S(U(1)×U(n)) using a completely elementary construction: Starting from the standard star-product of Wick type on Cn+1∖{0} and performing a quantum analogue of Marsden-Weinstein reduction, we ca…
Let Δ be a d-dimensional normal pseudomanifold, d≥3. A relative lower bound for the number of edges in Δ is that g2 of Δ is at least g2 of the link of any vertex. When this inequality is sharp Δ has relatively minimal g2. For example, whenever the one-skeleton of Δ equals the one-skeleton of …

We define the notion of a formal connection for a smooth family of star products with fixed underlying symplectic structure. Such a formal connection allows one to relate star products at different points in the family. This generalizes the formal Hitchin connection introduced by the first author. We establish a necess…
