Abstract
Let be a convex body and let in the interior of , . The point is said to be a \textit{Larman point} of if, for every hyperplane passing through , the section has a -plane of symmetry. If, in addition, for every hyperplane passing through , the section has a -plane of symmetry which contains , then the point is called a revolution point. In this work we prove that if for the convex body , , there exists a hyperplane , a point such that is a Larman point of but not a revolution point and, for every hyperplane passing though , the section has an -plane of symmetry parallel to , then is an ellipsoid of revolution with an axis perpendicular to .
