Dual area measures and local additive kinematic formulas

Abstract

We prove that higher moment maps on area measures of a euclidean vector space are injective, while the kernel of the centroid map equals the image of the first variation map. Based on this, we introduce the space of smooth dual area measures on a finite-dimensional euclidean vector space and prove that it admits a natural convolution product which encodes the local additive kinematic formulas for groups acting transitively on the unit sphere. As an application of this new integral-geometric structure, we obtain the local additive kinematic formulas in hermitian vector spaces in a very explicit way.
