چکیده

A comparison problem for volumes of convex bodies asks whether inequalities fK(ξ) ≤ fL(ξ) for all ξ ∈ S imply that Voln(K) ≤ Voln(L), where K,L are convex bodies in R, and fK is a certain geometric characteristic of K. By linear stability in comparison problems we mean that there exists a constant c such that for every ε > 0, the inequalities fK(ξ) ≤ fL(ξ) + ε for all ξ ∈ S imply that (Voln(K)) n−1

Valuations and Busemann–Petty Type Problems

Projection and intersection bodies define continuous and GL(n) contravariant valuations. They played a critical role in the solution of the Shephard problem for projections of convex bodies and its dual version for sections, the Busemann– Petty problem. We consider the question whether ΦK ⊆ ΦL implies V (K) ≤ V (L), where Φ is a homogeneous, continuous operator on convex or star bodies which is...

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

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 ...

Busemann - Petty problem on sections of convex bodies

The Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin-symmetric convex bodies in R n with smaller central hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller n-dimensional volume. It is known that the answer is affirmative if n ≤ 4 and negative if n ≥ 5. In this article we modify the assumptions of the original Busemann-Petty problem to guarantee the affirmative answer in all dimensions.

A Solution to the Lower Dimensional Busemann-petty Problem in the Hyperbolic Space

The lower dimensional Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin symmetric convex bodies in R with smaller volume of all k-dimensional sections necessarily have smaller volume. As proved by Bourgain and Zhang, the answer to this question is negative if k > 3. The problem is still open for k = 2, 3. In this article we formulate and completely solve the lower dimensional Busemann-Petty problem in...

On a Generalization of the Busemann–Petty Problem

The generalized Busemann–Petty problem asks: If K and L are origin-symmetric convex bodies in Rn, and the volume of K ∩H is smaller than the volume of L ∩H for every i-dimensional subspace H, 1 < i < n, does it follow that the volume of K is smaller than the volume of L? The hyperplane case i = n−1 is known as the Busemann–Petty problem. It has a negative answer when n > 4, and has a positive a...
