Abstract
We consider a typical (in the sense of Baire categories) convex body in . The set of feet of its double normals is a Cantor set, having lower box-counting dimension and packing dimension . The set of lengths of those double normals is also a Cantor set of lower box-counting dimension . Its packing dimension is equal to if , is at least if , and equals if . We also consider the lower and upper curvatures at feet of double normals of , with a special interest for local maxima of the length function (they are countable and dense in the set of double normals). In particular, we improve a previous result about the metric diameter.
