A solution to the Fifth and the Eighth Busemann-Petty problems in a small neighborhood of the Euclidean ball
M. Angeles Alfonseca, Fedor Nazarov, Dmitry Ryabogin +1
We show that the fifth and the eighth Busemann-Petty problems have positive solutions for bodies that are sufficiently close to the Euclidean ball in the Banach-Mazur distance.
Uniqueness Results for Bodies of Constant Width in the Hyperbolic Plane
M. Angeles Alfonseca, Michelle Cordier, Dan I. Florentin
Following Santaló's approach, we prove several characterizations of a disc among bodies of constant width, constant projections lengths, or constant section lengths on given famili…
On bodies in with directly congruent projections or sections
M. Angeles Alfonseca, Michelle Cordier, Dmitry Ryabogin
Let and be two convex bodies in with countably many diameters, such that their projections onto all dimensional subspaces containing one fixed diameter…
Counterexamples Related to Rotations of Shadows of Convex Bodies
M. Angeles Alfonseca, Michelle Cordier
We construct examples of two convex bodies in , such that every projection of onto a -dimensional subspace can be rotated to be contained in the corr…
An extension of a result by Lonke to intersection bodies
M. A. Alfonseca
In this paper we prove that intersection bodies cannot be direct sums using Fourier analytic techniques. This extends a result by Lonke. We also prove a necessary regularity condit…
Intersection bodies that are not polar zonoids: A flat top condition in dimensions four and six
M. A. Alfonseca
We find general geometric conditions on a convex body of revolution K, in dimensions four and six, so that its intersection body IK is not a polar zonoid. We exhibit several exampl…
