Abstract:  
Intrinsic volumes are fundamental geometric invariants that include the
Euler characteristic and the volume. Important results in integral
geometry relate the intrinsic volumes of random projections,
intersections, and sums of convex bodies to those of the individual
volumes. We present a new interpretations of classic results, based on
the observation that intrinsic volumes (both in spherical and Euclidean
settings) concentrate around certain indices. One consequence is, for
example, that as the dimension of a subspace varies, the average
intrinsic volume polynomial of a random projection of a convex body to
this subspace is as large as possible or is negligible, and the exact
location of the transition between these two cases can be expressed in
terms of a summary parameter associated with the convex body. Similar
phase transitions appear in related problems, including the rotation
mean formula, the slicing (Crofton) formula, and the kinematic formula.
This is joint work with Joel Tropp.
