Convex Geometry I - WS17/18
The WS 17/18 I am teaching Convex Geometry I.
Lectures (begin on October 19th):
Thursday 16.15-17.45 MA 851
Friday 10.15-11.45 MA 750
Exercise session (by Hannes Pollehn, begins on October 24th):
Tuesday 14.15-15.45 MA 651
The content of this course is:
Combinatorial Convexity (Helly and Caratheodory type theorems), valuations, space of convex bodies, volumes, surface areas, mixed volumes, aspects of Brunn-Minkowski theory, the Minkowski problem, isoperimetric inequalities, extremal problems with convex bodies.
The material will be based mostly on the following two books:
Peter M. Gruber, Convex and Discrete Geometry, Springer.
Rolf Schneider, Convex Bodies: The Brunn-Minkowski Theory, Cambridge.
