Abstract

We prove that if CC is a symmetric convex body of revolution in R4\mathbb R^4 containing the unit Euclidean ball B4\mathbb B_4, such that the sections of CC by hyperplanes tangent to B4\mathbb B_4 have constant area A>0A>0, then CC is a Euclidean ball, provided 1πarctan((3A4π)1/3)\frac 1{\pi} \arctan((\frac{3A}{4\pi})^{1/3}) satisfies certain arithmetic properties that can be read from its expansion as a continued fraction. We show that the set of values AA satisfying these properties has positive Hausdorff dimension.
