Deane Yang, New York University, Introduction to Convex Geometry and Brunn-Minkowski Theory
SAS 4201Convex geometry is the study of convex bodies in Euclidean space. Despite the apparent simplicity of such objects, they are a source of many deep mathematical discoveries and mysteries. This talk will present a survey of Brunn-Minkowski theory, which is the study of affine geometric invariants and inequalities satisfied by convex bodies. Unlike differential geometry,…
