An iterated circumcenter sequence (ICS) in dimension $d$ is a sequence of points in $mathbb{R}^d$ where each point is the circumcenter of the preceding $d+1$ points. The purpose of this paper is to completely determine the parameter space of ICSs and its subspace consisting of periodic ICSs. In particular, we prove Goddyn's conjecture on periodic ICSs, which was independently proven recently by Ardanuy. We also prove the existence of a periodic ICS in any dimension.

A metric polygon is a metric space comprised of a finite number of closed intervals joined cyclically. The second-named author and Ntalampekos recently found a method to bi-Lipschitz embed an arbitrary metric triangle in the Euclidean plane with uniformly bounded distortion, which we call here the tripodal embedding. In this paper, we prove the sharp distortion bound $4sqrt{7/3}$ for the tripodal embedding. We also give a detailed analysis of four representative examples of metric triangles: the intrinsic circle, the three-petal rose, tripods and the twisted heart. In particular, our examples show the sharpness of the tripodal embedding distortion bound and give a lower bound for the optimal distortion bound in general. Finally, we show the triangle embedding theorem does not generalize to metric quadrilaterals by giving a family of examples of metric quadrilaterals that are not bi-Lipschitz embeddable in the plane with uniform distortion.

The Minkowski problem in convex geometry concerns showing a given Borel measure on the unit sphere is, up to perhaps a constant, some type of surface area measure of a convex body. Two types of Minkowski problems in particular are an active area of research: $L^p$ Minkowski problems, introduced by Lutwak and (Lutwak,Yang, and Zhang), and weighted Minkowski problems, introduced by Livshyts. For the latter, the Gaussian Minkowski problem, whose primary investigators were (Huang, Xi and Zhao), is the most prevalent. In this work, we consider weighted surface area in the $L^p$ setting. We propose a framework going beyond the Gaussian setting by focusing on rotational invariant measures, mirroring the recent development of the Gardner-Zvavitch inequality for rotational invariant, log-concave measures. Our results include existence for all $p in mathbb R$ (with symmetry assumptions in certain instances). We also have uniqueness for $p geq 1$ under a concavity assumption. Finally, we obtain results in the so-called $small$ $mass$ $regime$ using degree theory, as instigated in the Gaussian case by (Huang, Xi and Zhao). Most known results for the Gaussian Minkowski problem are then special cases of our main theorems.

The aim of this note is to survey the results in some geometric problems related to the centroids and the static equilibrium points of convex bodies. In particular, we collect results related to Gr"unbaum's inequality and the Busemann-Petty centroid inequality, describe classifications of convex bodies based on equilibrium points, and investigate the location and structure of equilibrium points, their number with respect to a general reference point as well as the static equilibrium properties of convex polyhedra.

We show that the Morse boundary of a Morse local-to-global group is $sigma$-compact. Moreover, we show that the converse holds for small cancellation groups. As an application, we show that the Morse boundary of a non-hyperbolic, Morse local-to-global group that has contraction does not admit a non-trivial stationary measure. In fact, we show that any stationary measure on a geodesic boundary of such a groups needs to assign measure zero to the Morse boundary. Unlike previous results, we do not need any assumptions on the stationary measures considered.

We show that, inside the Shilov boundary of any given Hermitian symmetric space of tube type, there is, up to isomorphism, only one proper domain whose action by its automorphism group is cocompact. This gives a classification of all closed proper manifolds locally modelled on such Shilov boundaries, and provides a positive answer, in the case of flag manifolds admitting a $Theta$-positive structure, to a rigidity question of Limbeek and Zimmer.

The Einstein universe $mathbf{Ein}^{p,q}$ of signature $(p,q)$ is a pseudo-Riemannian analogue of the conformal sphere; it is the conformal compactification of the pseudo-Riemannian Minkowski space. For $p,q geq 1$, we show that, up to a conformal transformation, there is only one domain in $mathbf{Ein}^{p,q}$ that is bounded in a suitable stereographic projection and whose action by its conformal group is cocompact. This domain, which we call a diamond, is a model for the symmetric space of $operatorname{PO}(p,1) times operatorname{PO}(1,q)$. We deduce a classification of closed conformally flat manifolds with proper development.

Borell's inequality states the existence of a positive absolute constant $C>0$ such that for every $1leq pleq q$ $$ left(mathbb E|langle X, e_nrangle|^pright)^frac{1}{p}leqleft(mathbb E|langle X, e_nrangle|^qright)^frac{1}{q}leq Cfrac{q}{p}left(mathbb E|langle X, e_nrangle|^pright)^frac{1}{p}, $$ whenever $X$ is a random vector uniformly distributed in any convex body $Ksubseteqmathbb R^n$ containing the origin in its interior and $(e_i)_{i=1}^n$ is the standard canonical basis in $mathbb R^n$. In this paper, we will prove a discrete version of this inequality, which will hold whenever $X$ is a random vector uniformly distributed on $Kcapmathbb Z^n$ for any convex body $Ksubseteqmathbb R^n$ containing the origin in its interior. We will also make use of such discrete version to obtain discrete inequalities from which we can recover the estimate $mathbb E w(K_N)sim w(Z_{log N}(K))$ for any convex body $K$ containing the origin in its interior, where $K_N$ is the centrally symmetric random polytope $K_N=operatorname{conv}{pm X_1,ldots,pm X_N}$ generated by independent random vectors uniformly distributed on $K$ and $w(cdot)$ denotes the mean width.

We study the large-scale behavior of Newton-Sobolev functions on complete, connected, proper, separable metric measure spaces equipped with a Borel measure $mu$ with $mu(X) = infty$ and $0 < mu(B(x, r)) < infty$ for all $x in X$ and $r in (0, infty)$ Our objective is to understand the relationship between the Dirichlet space $D^{1,p}(X)$, defined using upper gradients, and the Newton-Sobolev space $N^{1,p}(X)+mathbb{R}$, for $1le p
