On the volume method in the study of Auerbach bases of finite-dimensional normed spaces
In this note we show that if the ratio of the minimal volume V of n-dimensional parallelepipeds containing the unit ball of an n-dimensional real normed space X to the maximal volume v of n-dimensional crosspolytopes inscribed in this ball is equal to n!, then the relation of orthogonality in X is symmetric. Hence we deduce the following properties: (i) if V/v=n! and if n>2, then X is an inner product space; (ii) in every finite-dimensional normed space there exist at least two different Auerbach...

On the Weight of Minor Faces in Triangle-Free 3-Polytopes
The weight w(f) of a face f in a 3-polytope is the degree-sum of vertices incident with f. It follows from Lebesgue’s results of 1940 that every triangle-free 3-polytope without 4-faces incident with at least three 3-vertices has a 4-face with w ≤ 21 or a 5-face with w ≤ 17. Here, the bound 17 is sharp, but it was still unknown whether 21 is sharp. The purpose of this paper is to improve this 21 to 20, which is best possible.

On the ψ₂-behaviour of linear functionals on isotropic convex bodies
The slicing problem can be reduced to the study of isotropic convex bodies K with , where is the isotropic constant. We study the ψ₂-behaviour of linear functionals on this class of bodies. It is proved that for all θ in a subset U of with measure σ(U) ≥ 1 - exp(-c√n). However, there exist isotropic convex bodies K with uniformly bounded geometric distance from the Euclidean ball, such that . In a different direction, we show that good average ψ₂-behaviour of linear functionals on an isotropic...
On tropical Kleene star matrices and alcoved polytopes
In this paper we give a short, elementary proof of a known result in tropical mathematics, by which the convexity of the column span of a zero-diagonal real matrix is characterized by being a Kleene star. We give applications to alcoved polytopes, using normal idempotent matrices (which form a subclass of Kleene stars). For a normal matrix we define a norm and show that this is the radius of a hyperplane section of its tropical span.

On unit balls and isoperimetrices in normed spaces
The purpose of this paper is to continue the investigations on the homothety of unit balls and isoperimetrices in higher-dimensional Minkowski spaces for the Holmes-Thompson measure and the Busemann measure. Moreover, we show a strong relation between affine isoperimetric inequalities and Minkowski geometry by proving some new related inequalities.
On Weak Tail Domination of Random Vectors
Motivated by a question of Krzysztof Oleszkiewicz we study a notion of weak tail domination of random vectors. We show that if the dominating random variable is sufficiently regular then weak tail domination implies strong tail domination. In particular, a positive answer to Oleszkiewicz's question would follow from the so-called Bernoulli conjecture. We also prove that any unconditional logarithmically concave distribution is strongly dominated by a product symmetric exponential measure.

On α(·)-monotone multifunctions and differentiability of γ-paraconvex functions
Let (X,d) be a metric space. Let Φ be a family of real-valued functions defined on X. Sufficient conditions are given for an α(·)-monotone multifunction to be single-valued and continuous on a weakly angle-small set. As an application it is shown that a γ-paraconvex function defined on an open convex subset of a Banach space having separable dual is Fréchet differentiable on a residual set.
