A dyadic view of rational convex sets

Gábor Czédli, Miklós Maróti, Anna B. Romanowska (2014)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Let F be a subfield of the field of real numbers. Equipped with the binary arithmetic mean operation, each convex subset C of F n becomes a commutative binary mode, also called idempotent commutative medial (or entropic) groupoid. Let C and C ' be convex subsets of F n . Assume that they are of the same dimension and at least one of them is bounded, or F is the field of all rational numbers. We prove that the corresponding idempotent commutative medial groupoids are isomorphic iff the affine space F n ...

A general geometric construction for affine surface area

Elisabeth Werner (1999)

Studia Mathematica

Let K be a convex body in n and B be the Euclidean unit ball in n . We show that l i m t 0 ( | K | - | K t | ) / ( | B | - | B t | ) = a s ( K ) / a s ( B ) , where as(K) respectively as(B) is the affine surface area of K respectively B and K t t 0 , B t t 0 are general families of convex bodies constructed from K,B satisfying certain conditions. As a corollary we get results obtained in [M-W], [Schm], [S-W] and [W].

A geometric approach to correlation inequalities in the plane

A. Figalli, F. Maggi, A. Pratelli (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

By elementary geometric arguments, correlation inequalities for radially symmetric probability measures are proved in the plane. Precisely, it is shown that the correlation ratio for pairs of width-decreasing sets is minimized within the class of infinite strips. Since open convex sets which are symmetric with respect to the origin turn out to be width-decreasing sets, Pitt’s Gaussian correlation inequality (the two-dimensional case of the long-standing Gaussian correlation conjecture) is derived...
