Title: Volume of intersections of convex bodies with their symmetric images and efficient coverings
Abstract: Let K be a convex body with volume one and barycentre at the origin.
How small is the volume of the intersection of K and -K? I shall
discuss such lower bounds and present applications to the Hadwidger
covering/illumination conjecture. Based on joint work with H. Huang,
B. Slomka and B. Vritsiou.
