Zakhar Kabluchko: Random Polytopes, Lecture III

In these three lectures we will provide an introduction to the subject of beta polytopes. These are random polytopes defined as convex hulls of i.i.d. samples from the beta density proportional to (1 − ∥x∥2)β on the d-dimensional unit ball. Similarly, beta’ polytopes are defined as convex

T. Toro - Geometry of measures and applications (Part 3)

In the 1920's Besicovitch studied linearly measurable sets in the plane, that is sets with locally finite "length". The basic question he addressed was whether the infinitesimal properties of the "length" of a set E in the plane yield geometric information on E itself. This simple question

R. Monti - Excess and tangents of sub-Riemannian geodesics

We present some recent results on the regularity problem of sub-Riemannian length minimizing curves. This is a joint work with A. Pigati and D. Vittone. After introducing the notion of excess for a horizontal curve, we show that at any point of a length minimizing curve excess is infinites

How to Draw Tangent Circles using Cones

Solving the Problem of Apollonius with Conic Sections This video describes a non-standard way of finding tangent circles to a given set of 3 circles, known as the Problem of Apollonius. It uses conic sections rather than straightedge and compass. I feel this approach is more intuitive and
