Abstract
We define a class of L-convex-concave subsets of , where L is a projective subspace of dimension l in . These are sets whose sections by any (l+1)-dimensional space L' containing L are convex and concavely depend on L'. We introduce an L-duality for these sets, and prove that the L-dual to an L-convex-concave set is an -convex-concave subset of . We discuss a version of Arnold hypothesis for these sets and prove that it is true (or wrong) for an L-convex-concave set and its L-dual simultaneously.
