OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Generalised convexity with respect to families of affine maps
The standard convex closed hull of a subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ is defined as the intersection of all images,
under the action of a group of rigid motions, of a half-space containing the given set. We propose
a generalisation of this classical notion, that we call a $(K,\mathbb{H})$-hull, and which is obtained from the
above construction by replacing a half-space with some other convex closed subset $K$ of the
Euclidean space, and a group of rigid motions by a subset $\mathbb{H}$ of the group of invertible affine
transformations. The above construction encompasses and generalises several known models in convex
stochastic geometry and allows us to gather them under a single umbrella. The talk is based on recent
works by Kalbuchko, Marynych, Temesvari, Thäle (2019), Marynych, Molchanov (2022) and Kabluchko,
Marynych, Molchanov (2023+).
