The generalized Busemann-Petty problem with weights [PDF]
arXiv, 2005 The generalized Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin-symmetric convex bodies with lower-dimensional smaller sections necessarily have smaller volume. We study the weighted version of this problem corresponding to the physical situation when bodies are endowed with mass distribution and the relevant sections are measured with attenuation.

arXiv, 2018 We study a new construction of bodies from a given convex body in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ which are isomorphic to (weighted) floating bodies. We establish several properties of this new construction, including its relation to $p$-affine surface areas. We show that these bodies are related to Ulam's long-standing floating body problem which asks whether ...
