Abstract: Consider a convex body K with its centroid at the origin. Gruenbaum’s inequality bounds the volume of half-space section from below by 1/e times the volume of K. In this talk, we will discuss several recent extensions of this inequality, including our joint work with Matthew Stephen and Sergii Myroshnychenko where we establish a “Gruenbaum’s inequality for projections” and a “Gruenbaum’s inequality for sections”.
