چکیده

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.

The 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.

A Note on the Busemann-petty Problem for Bodies of Certain Invariance

The Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin symmetric convex bodies in R with smaller hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller volume. The answer is affirmative if n ≤ 3 and negative if n ≥ 4. We consider a class of convex bodies that have a certain invariance property with respect to their ordered κ-tuples of coordinates in R κn and prove the corresponding problem.

On the Busemann-Petty Problem Concerning Central Sections of Centrally Symmetric Convex-Bodies

We present a method which shows that in E3 the Busemann-Petty problem, concerning central sections of centrally symmetric convex bodies, has a positive answer. Together with other results, this settles the problem in each dimension. In [BP], Busemann and Petty asked the following question, which resulted from reformulating a problem in Minkowskian geometry. Suppose K\ and K2 are convex bodies i...

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...
