Abstract

Let $X_1,X_2,\ldots, X_n$ be $n$ random points drawn uniformly at random from the $d$-dimensional unit ball. What is the expected number of $k$-dimensional faces of their convex hull $[X_1,\ldots, X_n]$? Let $Y_1,\ldots, Y_{d+1}$ be $d+1$ random points sampled uniformly at random on the unit sphere in $\mathbb R^d$. What is the expected sum of solid angles of the simplex with vertices at $Y_1,\ldotyY_{d+1}$? We shall review recent results on these and some other questions of stochastic geometry.
