Abstract

We prove that in every compact space of Delone sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ which is minimal with respect to the action by translations, either all Delone sets are uniformly spread, or continuously many distinct bounded displacement equivalence classes are represented, none of which contains a lattice. The implied limits are taken with respect to the Chabauty--Fell topology, which is the natural topology on the space of closed subsets of $\mathbb{R}^d$. This topology coincides with the standard local topology in the finite local complexity setting, and it follows that the dichotomy holds for all minimal spaces of Delone sets associated with well-studied constructions such as cut-and-project sets and substitution tilings, whether or not finite local complexity is assumed.

Godbersen's conjecture and the $L_p$-Rogers-Shephard inequality

We prove that the mixed volume of a convex body of fixed positive volume with its reflection about the origin is maximized by simplices. This confirms a conjecture of C. Godbersen from 1938 and refines the classical Rogers-Shephard inequality. We also prove that simplices are the only extremizers among convex polytopes. Finally, we use this inequality to prove an $L_p$-version of the Rogers-Shephard inequality for convex bodies containing the origin and show that, for any $p\in(1,\infty]$, the only extremizers are simplices with a vertex at the origin.

Tight Stability Estimates Near the Simplex and Applications for the Banach-Mazur Distance and Rogers-Shephard-Type Inequalities

We establish a tight stability estimate for the Minkowski asymmetry near its maximal value, improving earlier results in both the range for the admissible error and the strength of the estimate. More precisely, if an $n$-dimensional convex body $K$ has Minkowski asymmetry $s(K) \geq n-\varepsilon$ for $\varepsilon \in [0,1)$, then its Banach-Mazur distance to the $n$-simplex is at most \[ 1 + \varepsilon + \frac{\varepsilon^2}{2(1-\varepsilon)}. \] This dimension-independent estimate is sharp to the linear order in $\varepsilon$, including the constant. We apply this estimate to several problems. First, we prove a stability result for the maximal Banach-Mazur distance to the Euclidean ball, improving a previous estimate to the optimal linear order. As a key ingredient, we verify the conjecture that every convex body $K$ contains a translated copy of its volume-minimal circumscribed ellipsoid scaled down by a factor $\sqrt{n s(K)}$. Second, we prove a sharp common generalization of Schneider's higher-order Rogers-Shephard inequality and the $L_p$-Rogers-Shephard inequality, and establish a stability result of the optimal linear order. These results are based on the recent positive answer to the inequality part of the higher-order Godbersen conjecture and the accompanying proof of the $L_p$-Rogers-Shephard inequality. Finally, we improve upper bounds for the diameter of the Banach-Mazur compactum in fixed dimensions.

Busemann G-spaces with convex balls

We prove that any Busemann G-space such that every sufficiently small metric ball is convex is a topological manifold. The key ingredient in the proof is Ivanov's Helly theorem. The appendix contains a counterexample to a question of Berestovskii--Halverson--Repovš.
