A geometric decomposition for unitarily invariant valuations on convex functions

Abstract

Valuations on the space of finite-valued convex functions on ${\mathbb{C}}^n$ that are continuous, dually epi-translation invariant, as well as $\mathrm{U}(n)$-invariant are completely classified. It is shown that the space of these valuations decomposes into a direct sum of subspaces defined in terms of vanishing properties with respect to restrictions to a finite family of special subspaces of ${\mathbb{C}}^n$, mirroring the behavior of the hermitian intrinsic volumes introduced by Bernig and Fu. Unique representations of these valuations in terms of principal value integrals involving two families of Monge-Ampère-type operators are established
