The PIMS Postdoctoral Fellow Seminar: Sergii Myroshnychenko (Online)
Topic
Shape recognition of convex bodies
Speakers
Details
Abstract:
A broad class of convex geometry problems deals with questions on retrieval of information about (convex) sets from data about different types of their projections, sections, or both. Examples of such assumptions are volume estimates, rigidity of structure, symmetry conditions etc. In this talk, we will discuss known results and recent developments regarding the dual notions of point-projections and non-central sections of convex bodies. In particular, we provide a partial affirmative answer to the question on a shape recognition posed by A. Kurusa, and discuss a generalization of V. Klee's theorem for polyhedra.
This event is part of the Emergent Research: The PIMS Postdoctoral Fellow Colloquium Series.
