Any sequence of positive homothetic copies of a planar convex body C with total area not smaller than 6.5 times the area of C permits a translative covering of C.

AbstractThe Bezdek–Pach conjecture asserts that the maximum number of pairwise touching positive homothetic copies of a convex body in ℝd is 2d. Naszódi proved that the quantity in question is not larger than 2d+1. We present an improvement to this result by proving the upper bound 3 · 2d–1 for centrally symmetric bodies. Bezdek and Brass introduced the one-sided Hadwiger number of a convex body. We extend this definition, prove an upper bound on the resulting quantity, and show a connection with the problem of touching homothetic bodies.

Abstract Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system. Given a continuous vector-valued function $F \in C(X, \mathbb {R}^{d})$ called a potential, we define its rotation set $R(F)$ as the set of integrals of F with respect to all T-invariant probability measures, which is a convex body of $\mathbb {R}^{d}$ . In this paper we study the geometry of rotation sets. We prove that if T is a non-uniquely ergodic topological dynamical system with a dense set of periodic measures, then the map $R(\cdot )$ is open with respect to the uniform topologies. As a consequence, we obtain that the rotation set of a generic potential is strictly convex and has $C^{1}$ boundary. Furthermore, we prove that the map $R(\cdot )$ is surjective, extending a result of Kucherenko and Wolf.

AbstractGardner et al. posed the problem to find a discrete analogue of Meyer’s inequality bounding from below the volume of a convex body by the geometric mean of the volumes of its slices with the coordinate hyperplanes. Motivated by this problem, for which we provide a first general bound, we study in a more general context the question of bounding the number of lattice points of a convex body in terms of slices, as well as projections.
