On bodies with congruent sections or projections

Abstract

In this paper, we construct two convex bodies KK and LL in Rn\mathbb{R}^n, n3n\geq 3, such that their projections KHK|H, LHL|H onto every subspace HH are congruent, but nevertheless, KK and LL do not coincide up to a translation or a reflection in the origin. This gives a negative answer to an old conjecture posed by Nakajima and S\"uss.
