The volume product of convex bodies with many hyperplane symmetries
نویسنده
چکیده
Mahler’s conjecture predicts a sharp lower bound on the volume of the polar of a convex body in terms of its volume. We confirm the conjecture for convex bodies with many hyperplane symmetries in the following sense: their hyperplanes of symmetries have a one-point intersection. Moreover, we obtain improved sharp lower bounds for classes of convex bodies which are invariant by certain reflection groups, namely direct products of the isometry groups of regular polytopes.

On the hyperplane conjecture for random convex sets
This seemingly innocuous question, considered two decades ago by Bourgain [3, 4], has not been answered yet. We refer the reader to, e.g., [2], [18] or [14] for partial results, history and for additional literature regarding this hyperplane conjecture. In particular, there are large classes of convex bodies for which an affirmative answer to the above question is known. These include unconditi...
متن کاملOn the existence of supergaussian directions on convex bodies
We study the question whether every centered convex body K of volume 1 in R has “supergaussian directions”, which means θ ∈ Sn−1 such that ̨̨̨̨ x ∈ K : |〈x, θ〉| > t Z K |〈x, θ〉|dx ff ̨̨̨̨ > e 2 , for all 1 6 t 6 √ n, where c > 0 is an absolute constant. We verify that a “random” direction is indeed supergaussian for isotropic convex bodies that satisfy the hyperplane conjecture. On the other hand, we ...

which is still the best known estimate for arbitrary convex bodies. Another class consists of convex bodies with small volume ratio with respect to the ellipsoid of minimal volume. This includes the class of zonoids. K. Ball [BA] solved the problem for the duals of zonoids, i.e. unit balls of subspaces of an L1-space, briefly L1-sections. Theorem 1 (K. Ball) For a convex, symmetric body K ⊂ IR ...
متن کاملThe Complex Busemann-petty Problem on Sections of Convex Bodies
The complex Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin symmetric convex bodies in C with smaller central hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller volume. We prove that the answer is affirmative if n ≤ 3 and negative if n ≥ 4.
متن کاملA Hyperplane Inequality for Measures of Convex Bodies in ℝ n , n≤4
where ξ is the central hyperplane in R perpendicular to ξ, and |B 2 | is the volume of the unit Euclidean ball in R. This inequality is sharp, and it generalizes the hyperplane inequality in dimensions up to four to the setting of arbitrary measures in place of volume. In order to prove this inequality, we first establish stability in the affirmative case of the Busemann-Petty problem for arbit...
