Volume inequalities for arrangements of convex bodies

The book is centered around two major conjectures of discrete geometry: the Hadwiger-Levi conjecture (1955) and the Kneser-Poulsen conjecture (1955).

Although both conjectures have been solved only in dimension two and are open in higher dimensions, they have already influenced a great deal of research in discrete geometry and surely will continue to do so.

The book gives a detailed account of all major results already achieved with complete proofs and emphasizing the role of volumetric methods/inequalities.

The book's main purpose is to present the relevant frontline research in discrete geometry while generating wider interest in two fundamental conjectures of discrete geometry.
