Let d ≧ 2, and let K ⊂ ℝd be a convex body containing the origin 0 in its interior. In a previous paper we have proved the following. The body K is 0-symmetric if and only if the following holds. For each ω ∈ Sd−1, we have that the (d − 1)-volume of the intersection of K and an arbitrary hyperplane, with normal ω, attains its maximum if the hyperplane contains 0. An analogous theorem, for 1-dimensional sections and 1-volumes, has been proved long ago by Hammer (see [2]). In this paper we deal with the ((d − 2)-dimensional) surface area, or with lower dimensional quermassintegrals of these intersections, and prove an analogous, but local theorem, for small C2-perturbations, or C3-perturbations of the Euclidean unit ball, respectively.

AbstractIn the original view-obstruction problem congruent closed, centrally symmetric convex bodies centred at the points of the set are expanded uniformly until they block all rays from the origin into the open positive cone. The central problem is to determine the minimal blocking size and this value is known for balls in dimensions n = 2,3 and for symmetrically placed cubes in dimensions n = 2, 3, 4In order to explain fully the distinction between rational and irrational rays in the original problem, we extend consideration to the blocking of subspaces of all dimensions. In order to appreciate the special properties of balls and cubes, we give a discussion of the convex body with respect to reflection symmetry, lower dimensional sections, and duality. We introduce topological considerations to help understand when the critical parameter of the theory is an attained maximum and we add substantially to the list of known values of this parameter. In particular, when the dimension is n = 2 our dual body considerations furnish a complete solution to the view-obstruction problem
