The Hausdorff distance and metrics on toric singularity types (with A. Aitokhuehi et al.), Bull. Sci. Math. 204 (2025), Paper No. 103714, arXiv:2411.11246 , 20 pp.
We study a quasimetric on the space of singularity types of model potentials via convex-geometric means, establishing various estimates comparing it to the Hausdorff distance.
Intrinsic metrics from valuations on convex bodies (with M. Deaton), in preparation
To any valuation on convex bodies, we associate a pseudometric. Under broad conditions, it is a metric, and we study its metric geometry and topology.
Manuscripts, other papers, etc.
Cutting a pancake with an exotic knife (with J. Karlsson and N. Sloane), to appear in the Journal of Integer Sequences, arXiv:2511.15864 , 47 pp., featured in The New York Times , featured in Numberphile videos [1] and [2]
We consider generalizations of the lazy caterer’s problem, together with the pertinent combinatorics and experimental mathematics.
