Random walks and Lyapunov exponents
Random dynamical systems by Ludwig Arnold contains a thorough discussion of various multiplicative ergodic theorems (including the Furstenberg-Kesten result), but not the central limit theorems. As fa …

Are there smooth bodies of constant width?
Fillmore showed that there are sets of constant width in $\mathbb R^d$ with analytic boundaries which have a trivial symmetry group (so these are very different from spheres;

Quantitative bounds for multivariate central limit theorem
There is a bunch of such statements which can be obtained by Stein's method.
You might be interested in the paper "On the Rate of Convergence in the Multivariate CLT" by Gotze, which is specifically …

Who discovered the winding number?
Grünbaum and Shephard suggest that the winding numbers (for closed polygons) have been discussed in the literature at least since 1769.

Area of cross-section (at midpoint perpendicular to longest diagonal) in the unit cube of di...
This is a very old problem and there is a classical analytic approach to it. You can express the volume of sections of a convex body in terms of the Fourier transform of powers of the Minkowski functi …

What are "classical groups"?
Such a definition (but not the definition, I suppose) can be found in Clifford Algebras and the Classical Groups by Ian Porteous (see Chapt. 13).
It is based on the classification of real algebra an …

How to "globalize" the inverse function theorem?
There exist several known global implicit function theorems. Those results tend to be tailored for specific applications. It seems to be rather difficult to state a universally useful one-size-fits-al …

Rolling a convex body: Geodesics vs. rolling curves
The rolling motion of a convex symmetric body on a horizontal plane is a classical problem. In the symmetric case, Chaplygin was the first who showed that the full equations of motion can be reduced t …
