AbstractIn this note we obtain some properties of the Cheeger set $$C_\varOmega $$ C Ω associated to a k-rotationally symmetric planar convex body $$\varOmega $$ Ω . More precisely, we prove that $$C_\varOmega $$ C Ω is also k-rotationally symmetric and that the boundary of $$C_\varOmega $$ C Ω touches all the edges of $$\varOmega $$ Ω .

The covariogram gK(x) of a convex body K ⊆ Ed is the function which associates to each x ∈ Ed the volume of the intersection of K with K + x, where Ed denotes the Euclidean d-dimensional space. Matheron (1986) asked whether gK determines K, up to translations and reflections in a point. Positive answers to Matheron's question have been obtained for large classes of planar convex bodies, while for d ≥ 3 there are both positive and negative results. One of the purposes of this paper is to sharpen some of the known results on Matheron's conjecture indicating how much of the covariogram information is needed to get the uniqueness of determination. We indicate some subsets of the support of the covariogram, with arbitrarily small Lebesgue measure, such that the covariogram, restricted to those subsets, identifies certain geometric properties of the body. These results are more precise in the planar case, but some of them, both positive and negative ones, are proved for bodies of any dimension. Moreover some results regard most convex bodies, in the Baire category sense. Another purpose is to extend the class of convex bodies for which Matheron's conjecture is confirmed by including all planar convex bodies possessing two nondegenerate boundary arcs being reflections of each other.

AbstractWe obtain a formula for the number of horizontal equilibria of a planar convex body K with respect to a center of mass O in terms of the winding number of the evolute of $$\partial K$$ ∂ K with respect to O. The formula extends to the case where O lies on the evolute of $$\partial K$$ ∂ K and a suitably modified version holds true for non-horizontal equilibria.

AbstractWe provide general inequalities that compare the surface area S(K) of a convex body K in ℝn to the minimal, average, or maximal surface area of its hyperplane or lower dimensional projections. We discuss the same questions for all the quermassintegrals of K. We examine separately the dependence of the constants on the dimension in the case where K is in some of the classical positions or K is a projection body. Our results are in the spirit of the hyperplane problem, with sections replaced by projections and volume by surface area.

Abstract We study a curvature flow on smooth, closed, strictly convex hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$, which commutes with the action of $SL(n)$. The flow shrinks the initial hypersurface to a point that, if rescaled to enclose a domain of constant volume, is a smooth, closed, strictly convex hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with centro-affine curvature proportional, but not always equal, to the centro-affine curvature of a fixed hypersurface. We outline some consequences of this result for the geometry of convex bodies and the logarithmic Minkowski inequality.
