Comparison of Volumes of Convex Bodies in Real, Complex, and Quaternionic Spaces

چکیده
The classical Busemann-Petty problem (1956) asks, whether origin-symmetric convex bodies in R with smaller hyperplane central sections necessarily have smaller volumes. It is known, that the answer is affirmative if n ≤ 4 and negative if n > 4. The same question can be asked when volumes of hyperplane sections are replaced by other comparison functions having geometric meaning. We give unified exposition of this circle of problems in real, complex, and quaternionic n-dimensional spaces. All cases are treated simultaneously. In particular, we show that the Busemann-Petty problem in the quaternionic n-dimensional space has an affirmative answer if and only if n = 2. The method relies on the properties of cosine transforms on the unit sphere. Possible generalizations are discussed.

Functionally closed sets and functionally convex sets in real Banach spaces
Let $X$ be a real normed space, then $C(subseteq X)$ is functionally convex (briefly, $F$-convex), if $T(C)subseteq Bbb R $ is convex for all bounded linear transformations $Tin B(X,R)$; and $K(subseteq X)$ is functionally closed (briefly, $F$-closed), if $T(K)subseteq Bbb R $ is closed for all bounded linear transformations $Tin B(X,R)$. We improve the Krein-Milman theorem ...

Let $\Omega_X$ be a bounded, circular and strictly convex domain in a complex Banach space $X$, and $\mathcal{H}(\Omega_X)$ be the space of all holomorphic functions from $\Omega_X$ to $\mathbb{C}$. The growth space $\mathcal{A}^\nu(\Omega_X)$ consists of all $f\in\mathcal{H}(\Omega_X)$ such that $$|f(x)|\leqslant C \nu(r_{\Omega_X}(x)),\quad x\in \Omega_X,$$ for some constant $C>0$...
متن کاملSome results on functionally convex sets in real Banach spaces
We use of two notions functionally convex (briefly, F--convex) and functionally closed (briefly, F--closed) in functional analysis and obtain more results. We show that if $lbrace A_{alpha} rbrace _{alpha in I}$ is a family $F$--convex subsets with non empty intersection of a Banach space $X$, then $bigcup_{alphain I}A_{alpha}$ is F--convex. Moreover, we introduce new definition o...
متن کاملOn new faster fixed point iterative schemes for contraction operators and comparison of their rate of convergence in convex metric spaces
In this paper we present new iterative algorithms in convex metric spaces. We show that these iterative schemes are convergent to the fixed point of a single-valued contraction operator. Then we make the comparison of their rate of convergence. Additionally, numerical examples for these iteration processes are given.
متن کاملOn the dual of certain locally convex function spaces
In this paper, we first introduce some function spaces, with certain locally convex topologies, closely related to the space of real-valued continuous functions on $X$, where $X$ is a $C$-distinguished topological space. Then, we show that their dual spaces can be identified in a natural way with certain spaces of Radon measures.
