Abstract

The intersection LL of two different non-opposite hemispheres of the unit sphere S2S^2 is called a lune. By Δ(L)\Delta (L) we denote the distance of the centers of the semicircles bounding LL. By the thickness Δ(C)\Delta (C) of a convex body CS2C \subset S^2 we mean the minimal value of Δ(L)\Delta (L) over all lunes LCL \supset C. We call a convex body RS2R\subset S^2 reduced provided Δ(Z)<Δ(R)\Delta (Z) < \Delta (R) for every convex body ZZ being a proper subset of RR. Our aim is to estimate the diameter of RR, where Δ(R)<π2\Delta (R) < \frac{\pi}{2}, in terms of its thickness.
