Abstract
Let be a convex body and let be a closed convex surface both contained in the Euclidean space . What can we say about if encloses and if from all the points in the body looks the same? In this work we are going to present a result which claims that if for every two support cones , of , with apexes , respectively, there exists in the semi direct product of the orthogonal group and such that and this can be done in a continuous way, then is a sphere.
