Minimizing inradius for a given surface area
It is well known that among all convex bodies in R^n with a given surface area, the Euclidean ball has the largest inradius. We will show that this result can be reversed in the class of convex bodies with curvature at each point of their boundary bounded below by some positive constant λ (λ-convex bodies). In particular, we show that among λ-convex bodies of a given surface area, the λ-convex lens (the intersection of two balls of radius 1/ λ) minimizes the inradius.
Expected extremal area of facets of random polytopes
We study extremal properties of spherical random polytopes, the convex
hull of random points chosen from the unit Euclidean sphere in Rn. The extremal
properties of interest are the expected values of the maximum and minimum surface area among facets.
We determine the asymptotic growth in every fixed dimension, up to absolute constants.
Integral Inequalities for Convolutions of alpha-Concave Functions
Inequalities for Minkowski sums of convex bodies play a central role in convex geometry and additive combinatorics. A particular example is the Plünnecke–Ruzsa-type inequality, which also has a geometric analogue for convex bodies. In this talk, we begin by introducing such geometric inequalities and highlighting some of the open problems related to them. We then present functional analogues of Plünnecke–Ruzsa-type inequalities using the alpha-sum, a generalized sup-convolution.
From simplex slicing to sharp reverse Hölder inequalities
I shall present an extension of Webb's simplex slicing (1996) to the analytic framework of sharp L_p bounds for centred log-concave measures on the real line, with a curious phase transition of the extremising distribution. Based on joint work with Melbourne, Roysdon and Tang.
