Complete sets need not be reduced in Minkowski spaces

Abstract

It is well known that in nn-dimensional Euclidean space (n2n\geq 2) the classes of (diametrically) complete sets and of bodies of constant width coincide. Due to this, they both form a proper subfamily of the class of reduced bodies. For nn-dimensional Minkowski spaces, this coincidence is no longer true if n3n\geq 3. Thus, the question occurs whether for n3n\geq 3 any complete set is reduced. Answering this in the negative for n3n\geq 3, we construct (2k1)(2^{k}-1)-dimensional (k2k\geq 2) complete sets which are not reduced.
