A non-existence result for the $L_p$-Minkowski problem

Metric Geometry 2021-09-15 v1

Abstract

We show that given a real number p<1p<1, a positive integer nn and a proper subspace HH of Rn\mathbb{R}^n, the measure on the Euclidean sphere Sn1\mathbb{S}^{n-1}, which is concentrated in HH and whose restriction to the class of Borel subsets of Sn1H\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\cap H equals the spherical Lebesgue measure on Sn1H\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\cap H, is not the LpL_p-surface area measure of any convex body. This, in particular, disproves a conjecture from [Bianchi, B\"or\"oczky, Colesanti, Yang, The LpL_p-Minkowski problem for n<p<1-n<p<1, Adv. Math. (2019)].
