Uniqueness of solutions to a class of non-homogeneous curvature problems

Abstract

We show that the only even, smooth, convex solutions to a class of isotropic mixed Christoffel-Minkowski type problems are origin-centred spheres, which, in particular, answers a question of Firey 74 in the even isotropic case about kinematic measures. Employing the Heintze-Karcher inequality, we prove that the only smooth, strictly convex solutions to a large class of Minkowski type problems are origin-centred spheres. Immediate corollaries are the uniqueness of solutions to the isotropic Orlicz-Minkowski problem and the isotropic $L_p$-Gaussian-Minkowski problem when $p\ge 1$.
