-<WRAP box 80%> **//Abstract//**: +<WRAP box 80%> **//Abstract//**: In convex geometry, where convex bodies are the primary objects of study, a central goal is to discover geometric invariants and measures that can be used to recover or characterize their shapes. Two intertwined lines of research pursue this objective. Isoperimetric inequalities involving geometric invariants, including the classical isoperimetric inequality and the celebrated Brunn–Minkowski inequality, seek to identify special shapes as extremals. Minkowski problems, a family of problems originating in the work of Minkowski, aim to recover, sometimes uniquely, the shape of an arbitrary convex body by solving measure equations that, under additional but unnecessary smoothness assumptions, reduce to Monge–Ampère-type equations. In this talk, after giving some historical background, I will discuss recent joint work with Dongmeng Xi that continues this line of research through the study of integral affine surface area and radial mean bodies.

-<WRAP box 80%> **//Abstract//**:   +<WRAP box 80%> **//Abstract//**:   I will present my latest results on quantum information theory. I will start with an introduction to the quantum theory for preparation, and then present the results. 
 + 
 +Lieb and Ruskai's strong subadditivity theorem, which shows that the conditional mutual information must be nonnegative, is fundamental in quantum theory. It has numerous applications, such as in quantum error correction.  
 + 
 +When the mutual information is zero, the Petz recovery map can be used to reconstruct the quantum channel.  
 + 
 +When the mutual information is small, one seeks to define an optimal recovery channel. To this end, a mathematical characterization of the mutual information is desirable. In my latest paper I provided an exact characterization of the mutual information, along with characterizations for other entropies. My controls are sharp, leaving no room for improvement, in the sense that I provided equalities, regardless of whether the mutual information (or remainder) is small or large. 
 + 
 +I transformed the definitions of these entropies into a summation of explicitly constructed terms, and the definition of each term obviously demonstrates the desired positivity/convexity/concavity. The summation converges rapidly and absolutely in a chosen elementary norm.
  
 +An exposition for the general public was provided by git.science and emailed to me, see the link https://gist.science/paper/2603.14650
