In this paper, we focus on lattice covering of centrally symmetric convex body on $\mathbb{R}^2$. While there is no constraint on the lattice in many other results about lattice covering, in this study, we only consider lattices congruent to a given lattice to retain more information on the lattice. To obtain some upper bounds on the infimum of the density of such covering, we will say a body is a coverable body with respect to a lattice if such lattice covering is possible, and try to suggest a function of a given lattice such that any centrally symmetric convex body whose area is not less than the function is a coverable body. As an application of this result, we will suggest a theorem which enables one to apply this to a coverable body to suggesting an efficient lattice covering for general sets, which may be non-convex and may have holes.

In (1) Dvoretsky proved, using very ingenious methods, that every centrally symmetric convex body of sufficiently high dimension contains a central k-dimensional section which is almost spherical. Here we shall extend this result (Corollary to Theorem 2) to k-dimensional sections through an arbitrary interior point of any convex body.

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.

Let K ⊂ ℝ2 be an o-symmetric convex body, and K* its polar body. Then we have |K| · |K*| ≧ 8, with equality if and only if K is a parallelogram. (|·| denotes volume). If K ⊂ ℝ2 is a convex body, with o ∈ int K, then |K| · |K*| ≧ 27/4, with equality if and only if K is a triangle and o is its centroid. If K ⊂ ℝ2 is a convex body, then we have |K| · |[(K − K)/2)]*| ≧ 6, with equality if and only if K is a triangle. These theorems are due to Mahler and Reisner, Mahler and Meyer, and to Eggleston, respectively. We show an analogous theorem: if K has n-fold rotational symmetry about o, then |K| · |K*| ≧ n2 sin2(π/n), with equality if and only if K is a regular n-gon of centre o. We will also give stability variants of these four inequalities, both for the body, and for the centre of polarity. For this we use the Banach-Mazur distance (from parallelograms, or triangles), or its analogue with similar copies rather than affine transforms (from regular n-gons), respectively. The stability variants are sharp, up to constant factors. We extend the inequality |K| · |K*| ≧ n2 sin2(π/n) to bodies with o ∈ int K, which contain, and are contained in, two regular n-gons, the vertices of the contained n-gon being incident to the sides of the containing n-gon. Our key lemma is a stability estimate for the area product of two sectors of convex bodies polar to each other. To several of our statements we give several proofs; in particular, we give a new proof for the theorem of Mahler-Reisner.

AbstractGiven a centrally symmetric convex body B in , we denote by ℳd(B) the Minkowski space (i.e., finite dimensional Banach space) with unit ball B. Let K be an arbitrary convex body in ℳd(B). The relationship between volume V(K) and the Minkowskian thickness (= minimal width) ΔB(K) of K can naturally be given by the sharp geometric inequality V(K) ≥ α(B) · ΔB(K)d, where α(B) > 0. As a simple corollary of the Rogers-Shephard inequality we obtain that with equality on the left attained if and only if B is the difference body of a simplex and on the right if B is a cross-polytope. The main result of this paper is that for d = 2 the equality on the right implies that B is a parallelogram. The obtained results yield the sharp upper bound for the modified Banach–Mazur distance to the regular hexagon.

We prove a reverse Faber–Krahn inequality for the Cheeger constant, stating that every convex body in ℝ2 has an affine image such that the product between its Cheeger constant and the square root of its area is not larger than the same quantity for the regular triangle. An analogous result holds for centrally symmetric convex bodies with the regular triangle replaced by the square. We also prove a Mahler-type inequality for the Cheeger constant, stating that every axisymmetric convex body in ℝ2 has a linear image such that the product between its Cheeger constant and the Cheeger constant of its polar body is not larger than the same quantity for the square.
