Abstract

We define a class of LL-convex-concave subsets of RP3\mathbb{R}P^3, where LL is a projective line in RP3\mathbb{R}P^3. These are sets whose sections by any plane containing LL are convex and concavely depend on this plane. We prove a version of Arnold hypothesis for these sets, namely we prove that each such set contains a line.
