Review text

The author formulates several problems and states recent results on the following themes: 1. `The boundary complex of a convex polytope' (starting with the theorem of Steinitz), 2. `Packings, coverings, and tilings' (starting with a theorem by Minkowski-Hlawka concerning a lower bound to the maximal density of lattice packings of a given convex body), 3. `Relations to algebraic geometry, mixed volumes and geometric inequalities' (for example concerning the case of equality in the inequality of Alexandrov-Fenchel), 4. `The space of convex bodies' (search for a geometrically useful measure on the metric space of all convex bodies in \(E^d)\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0867.00024].
