Abstract:

Convex functions play a fundamental role in analysis, geometry, PDEs, and information theory, and thus understanding their analytic and geometric behavior has become increasingly important.

In this talk, I will describe some of our recent developments concerning the geometry of convex functions. I will focus on variational formulas arising from the Asplund sum, which naturally lead to measures associated with convex functions. I will also discuss the corresponding Minkowski-type problems and present their solutions.
