This paper is dedicated to the Orlicz-Petty bodies. We first propose the homogeneous Orlicz affine and geominimal surface areas, and establish their basic properties such as homogeneity, affine invariance and affine isoperimetric inequalities. We also prove that the homogeneous geominimal surface areas are continuous, under certain conditions, on the set of convex bodies in terms of the Hausdorff distance. Our proofs rely on the existence of the Orlicz-Petty bodies and the uniform boundedness of the Orlicz-Petty bodies of a convergent sequence of convex bodies. Similar results for the nonhomogeneous Orlicz geominimal surface areas are proved as well.

A discrete conformality for polyhedral metrics on surfaces is introduced in this paper which generalizes earlier work on the subject. It is shown that each polyhedral metric on a surface is discrete conformal to a constant curvature polyhedral metric which is unique up to scaling. Furthermore, the constant curvature metric can be found using a discrete Yamabe flow with surgery.

We study the smoothness of the Siciak–Zaharjuta extremal function associated to a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ . We also prove a formula relating the complex equilibrium measure of a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ ($n$≥2) to that of its Robin indicatrix. The main tool we use is extremal ellipses.

For $1 \leq p < \infty$, Ludwig, Haberl and Parapatits classified $L_p$ Minkowski valuations intertwining the special linear group with additional conditions such as homogeneity and continuity. In this paper,a complete classification of $L_p$ Minkowski valuations intertwining the special linear group on polytopes without any additional conditions is established for $p \geq 1$ including $p = \infty$. For $n=3$ and $p=1$, there exist valuations not mentioned before.
