Abstract
In this work we prove the following result: Let be a strictly convex body in the Euclidean space , and let be a hypersurface, which is the image of an embedding of the sphere , such that is contained in the interior of . Suppose that, for every , there exists such that the support double-cones of with apexes at and , differ by a translation. Then and are centrally symmetric and concentric.
