Convex Bodies with affinely equivalent projections and affine bodies of revolution

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we study affine bodies of revolution. This will allow us to prove that a convex body all whose orthogonal $n$-projections are affinely equivalent is an ellipsoid, provided $n\equiv 0,1,2$ mod $4$, $n>1$ with the possible exemption of $n=133$. Our proof uses convex geometry and topology of compact Lie groups. AMS classification subject: 22E10, 52A05
