Cone-volume measures of polytopes

Metric Geometry 2013-11-28 v2 Differential Geometry

Abstract

The cone-volume measure of a polytope with centroid at the origin is proved to satisfy the subspace concentration condition. As a consequence a conjectured (a dozen years ago) fundamental sharp affine isoperimetric inequality for the U-functional is completely established -- along with its equality conditions.
