Maximizing the minimum curvature of a convex shape with a given volume in higher dimensions
Given any $d$-dimensional convex shape $S$ in the Euclidean space with $d\gg 1$, let $K_{\min}(S)$ be the minimum value of the Gaussian curvature of its boundary.
Question: What is the maximum value $...

Do all compact manifolds admit geodesic tiling
Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold. I'll call a set of non-empty subsets $C_1,\dots,C_N$ a geodesic tiling of $M$ if:
Each $C_n$ is closed (geodesically) convex hull of a finite number of $\{...

Covering number estimates on closed Riemannian manifolds
Let $(M^n,g)$ be an $n$-dimensional compact and connected Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded above and below by $c,C$. Is it possible/known how to express the external covering ...

Triangulations of convex surfaces
Let $M$ be a smooth closed positively curved surface in Euclidean 3-space, $T$ be a geodesic triangulation of $M$, and $E$ be the edge graph of the convex hull of vertices of $T$.
It is easy to see ...

diameter as a Morse function
Consider the space $X_1$ of closed subsets not containing a pair of antipodal points of the unit circle. Here we have a kind of degenerate Morse function, defined by the diameter of the pointset. ...
