COUNTEREXAMPLES TO CONVEXITY OF k-INTERSECTION BODIES
It is a well-known result due to Busemann that the intersection body of an origin-symmetric convex body is also convex. Koldobsky introduced the notion of k-intersection bodies. We show that the k-intersection body of an origin-symmetric convex body is not necessarily convex if k > 1.
متن کاملOn the local convexity of intersection bodies of revolution
One of the fundamental results regarding intersection bodies is Busemann’s theorem, which states that the intersection body of a symmetric convex body is convex. Thus, it is natural to ask how much of convexity is guaranteed under the intersection body operation. In this paper we provide several results about the (strict) improvement of convexity for intersection bodies of symmetric bodies of r...
متن کاملConvexity of the support of the displacement interpolation: Counterexamples
Given two smooth and positive densities ρ0, ρ1 on two compact convex sets K0,K1, respectively, we consider the question whether the support of the measure ρt obtained as the geodesic interpolant of ρ0 and ρ1 in the Wasserstein space W2(R) is necessarily convex or not. We prove that this is not the case, even when ρ0 and ρ1 are uniform measures.
متن کاملIntersection Bodies and Valuations
All GL (n) covariant star-body-valued valuations on convex polytopes are completely classified. It is shown that there is a unique nontrivial such valuation. This valuation turns out to be the so-called “intersection operator”—an operator that played a critical role in the solution of the Busemann-Petty problem. Introduction. A function Z defined on the set K of convex bodies (that is, of conve...
متن کاملComplex intersection bodies
We introduce complex intersection bodies and show that their properties and applications are similar to those of their real counterparts. In particular, we generalize Busemann’s theorem to the complex case by proving that complex intersection bodies of symmetric complex convex bodies are also convex. Other results include stability in the complex Busemann-Petty problem for arbitrary measures an...
