Koldobsky describes a new Fourier analytic approach in which the idea is to express certain geometric properties of bodies in Fourier analytic terms and then use methods of harmonic analysis to solve geometric problems. After describing basic concepts such as Radon transforms, the gamma-function, the Fourier transform of distributions, fractional derivatives, and positive definite distributions, Koldobsky describes volume and the Fourier transform, intersection bodies, the Buseman-Petty problem, intersection bodies and Lp-spaces (including Schoenberg's problems on positive definitive functions), Ball's theorem and projections and the Fourier transform.

24. Hemanshu Kaul : Proposal For A Geometry Course
Proposal for a course Convex and Discrete Geometry Ball An elementaryintroduction to modern convex geometry (In Levi, ed., Flavors of geometry)
http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~hkaul/GeometryCourseProposal.html
Proposal for a course: Convex and Discrete Geometry
Jeong-Hyun Kang and Hemanshu Kaul [PDF] version [PS] version
The extent of geometric ideas that a student is exposed to in undergraduate courses is usually limited to topics in coordinate geometry (in 2 and 3 dimensions) and advanced calculus. Moreover, advanced courses in geometry only include differential and algebraic geometry, which focus on developing their abstract tools rather than purely geometric notions. This leaves a big gap in the elementary geometric knowledge of most graduate students, especially in topics from convex and discrete geometry. These topics comprise an active area of research into fundamental geometric questions dating back to antiquity. Their modern applications tie together a wide range of mathematical fields like number theory, combinatorics, optimization, computational geometry, etc. This gap could be addressed by developing an introductory course in geometry for graduate students. This course should be accessible to all beginning graduate students and include a variety of fundamental topics (some of which are suggested below). Such a course would be of interest not only to students in mathematics but also computer science (computational geometry) and ECE (coding theory, robot motion).
Suggested topics
  • Review of basic geometric concepts and parameters - like volume, surface area, centroid, etc. for various fundamental bodies, various (affine) transformations, etc. - focusing on high dimensions.

    Convex Geometry In Convex Geometry, geometric and analytic methods are used to study convex sets and convex functions. Therefore Convex Geometry is situated between Analysis and Geometry.  At the Department of Analysis especially the following problems are studied:
    • Approximation of convex bodies by polytopes
    • Properties of typical convex bodies in the sense of Baire categories
    • Characterization of special convex bodies
    • Valuations on the space of convex bodies
    • Affine geometry of convex bodies

    Geometric Probabilities The Theory of Geometric Probabilities, Integral Geometry and Stochastic Geometry are situated between Geometry and Probability Theory. At the Department of Analysis especially the following problems are studied:
    • Approximation of convex bodies by random polytopes
    • Questions on the geometric structure of random polytopes

    Geometry of Numbers Geometry of Numbers forms a bridge between convexity, Diophantine approximation and the theory of quadratic forms. Today it is an independent problem-oriented field of mathematics having relations with coding theory, numerical integration, computational geometry and optimization. Geometry of Numbers has a long tradition in Vienna and at the Department of Analysis the following problems are studied:
    • Diophantine approximation
    • Products of inhomogeneous linear forms
    • Inverting Minkowski's theorem on linear forms

Also in: Rozenberg, G.: Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Vol. 483; Advances in Petri Nets 1990 , pages 79-112. Berlin, Germany: Springer-Verlag, 1991. Abstract: P-semiflows are nonnegative left annullers of a net's flow matrix. The concept of minimal p-semiflow is known in the context of mathematical programming under the name `extremal direction of a cone'. The algorithms known in the domain of P/T nets for computing elementary semi-flows are basically improvements of the basic Fourier-Motzkin method. One of the fundamental problems of these algorithms is their complexity. Various methods and rules for mitigating this problem are examined. As a result, the paper presents two improved algorithms which are more efficient and robust when handling `real-life' nets. Keywords: convex geometry (and) semiflows (in) place/transition net(s); minimal p-semiflows computation; Fourier-Motzkin method; complexity reduction.

    algebraic geometry
    Traditionally, the geometry of solutions in the complex numbers to polynomial equations. Modern algebraic geometry is also concerned with algebraic varieties, which are a generalization of such solution sets, as well as solutions in fields other than complex numbers, for example finite fields.

    The branch of topology concerned with homology and other algebraic models of topological spaces
    algebraic variety
    A space which is locally the solution locus to a set of polynomial equations. Algebraic varieties are for algebraic geometry topological spaces are for topology manifolds . However, algebraic varieties may also have complicated singular sets and may be parametrized with rings other than the complex numbers. (For the technical reason that the real numbers are not algebraically closed, one does not consider algebraic varieties over the real numbers in the straightforward sense.)

    Course description
    The celebrated "probabilistic method" with its major applications in convex and discrete geometry and analysis will be the content of this course. The first main highlight of the course is the concentration of measure phenomenon, one of the powerful tools in modern probability. Its isoperimetric proof relies on Brunn-Minkowski inequality, which will bring us to the basics of convex geometry. The main text for this part will be a recent book by Ledoux, "The concentration of measure phenomenon". At the same time, the study of the probabilistic nature of the concentration of measure phenomenon will lead us to deviation inequalities for sums of independent random variables and random processes, a classical theme in probability theory. We will start with basics, such as Chernoff and Azuma inequalities and will proceed to an extremely powerful but simple Talagrand's inequality and will touch upon gaussian processes. Main texts are a famous book by Alon and Spencer, "The probabilistic method" and a monograph by Talagrand, "Probability in Banach spaces".

    Tue Apr 12 09:19:50 MST 2005 Just wondering if anyone has ever experiemented using a trimesh to simulate a convex geometry (like a bucket for example). I would like to have a bucket and throw stuff into it, but im not too sure about the performance penalties which this could potentially entail. If the "stuff" you throw into the bucket is spheres, boxes and cylinders, it will work fine. Turn on damping and body auto-sleeping to make the performance good even with a full bucket. Throwing other trimeshes into a trimesh bucket has all of the trimesh to trimesh collision problems. Cheers, / h+ More information about the ODE mailing list

    Over the last 20 years there has been a dramatic growth in our understanding of phenomena that occur in high-dimensional systems: those whose characteristic behaviour appears as the number of variables grows to infinity. Such systems occur in a wide variety of branches of mathematics and adjacent sciences, in particular, physics and computing. It is clear that the ability to describe basic features of such systems mathematically, will be increasingly important in the life sciences as well, during the next decade.
    Numerical simulations and theoretical analyses have revealed two characteristic features of high-dimensional phenomena which can be described as ``unexpected uniformity'' and ``sharp discontinuity''. Historically, these characteristics appeared first in random settings, especially in probability (various forms of the law of large numbers and other limiting theorems), and in statistical physics, where systems of particles, described by the Gibbs distribution, exhibit phase transitions: sudden qualitative changes in behaviour as a result of small changes in parameters. It has become increasingly clear that what underlies these effects is not randomness itself but rather a broader concept of high-dimensionality. High-dimensional systems occurring naturally exhibit random-like behaviour.

    Abstract I will give an overview over a number of results obtained by Kojman, Kubis, Schipperus and myself concerning certain cardinal invariants arising in convex geometry. For a subset S of a real vector space we consider the convexity number , the least cardinality of a family F of convex subsets of S which covers S . We are mainly interested in uncountable convexity numbers of closed subsets of R n . In R the situation is simple. For every closed subset S of R either is countable or there is a nonempty perfect subset P of S such that every convex subset of S intersects P in at most 2 points. In the latter case The situation is more complicated in R . For every closed subset S of R exactly one of the following two statements holds: (1) There is a nonempty perfect subset P of S such that every convex subset of S intersects P in at most 3 points (and hence (2) There is a forcing extension of the set-theoretic universe in which (and hence there is no set P as in (1)).
