An Asymmetric Convex Body with Maximal Sections of Constant Volume
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that in all dimensions d ≥ 3, there exists an asymmetric convex body of revolution all of whose maximal hyperplane sections have the same volume. This gives the negative answer to the question posed by V. Klee in 1969.

Sections of the Difference Body 3
Let K be an n-dimensional convex body. Define the difference body by K − K = {x − y | x, y ∈ K}. We estimate the volume of the section of K − K by a linear subspace F via the maximal volume of sections of K parallel to F. We prove that for any m-dimensional subspace F there exists x ∈ R n , such that vol ((K − K) ∩ F) ≤ C m min n m , √ m m · vol (K ∩ (F + x)) , for some absolute constant C. We ...
متن کاملOn Symplectic Capacities and Volume Radius
In this work we present an improvement to a theorem by C. Viterbo, relating the symplectic capacity of a convex body and its volume. This provides one more step towards the proof of the following conjecture: among all convex bodies in R 2n with a given volume, the Euclidean ball has maximal symplectic capacity. More precisely, the conjecture states that the best possible constant γn such that f...
متن کاملMaximal Sections and Centrally Symmetric Bodies
Let d ≥ 2 and let K ⊂ R be a convex body containing the origin 0 in its interior. Let, for each direction ω, the (d − 1)–volume of the intersection of K and an arbitrary hyperplane with normal ω attain its maximum if the hyperplane contains 0. Then K is symmetric about 0. The proof uses a linear integro–differential operator on S, whose null–space needs to be, and will be determined.
متن کاملNon-uniqueness of Convex Bodies with Prescribed Volumes of Sections and Projections
We show that if d ≥ 4 is even, then one can find two essentially different convex bodies such that the volumes of their maximal sections, central sections, and projections coincide for all directions.

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 ...
