On bodies with directly congruent projections and sections

Abstract

Let $K$ and $L$ be two convex bodies in ${\mathbb{R}}^4$, such that their projections onto all $3$-dimensional subspaces are directly congruent. We prove that if the set of diameters of the bodies satisfy an additional condition and some projections do not have certain symmetries, then $K$ and $L$ coincide up to translation and an orthogonal transformation. We also show that an analogous statement holds for sections of star bodies, and prove the $n$-dimensional versions of these results.
