Abstract

In this paper, we investigate simultaneous properties of a convex integrand γ\gamma and its dual δ\delta. The main results are the following three. (1) For a CC^\infty convex integrand γ:SnR+\gamma: S^n\to \mathbb{R}_+, its dual convex integrand δ:SnR+\delta: S^n\to \mathbb{R}_+ is of class CC^\infty if and only if γ\gamma is a strictly convex integrand. (2) Let γ:SnR+\gamma: S^n\to \mathbb{R}_+ be a CC^\infty strictly convex integrand. Then, γ\gamma is stable if and only if its dual convex integrand δ:SnR+\delta: S^n\to \mathbb{R}_+ is stable. (3) Let γ:SnR+\gamma: S^n\to \mathbb{R}_+ be a CC^\infty strictly convex integrand. Suppose that γ\gamma is stable. Then, for any ii (0in)(0\le i\le n), a point θ0Sn\theta_0\in S^n is a non-degenerate critical point of γ\gamma with Morse index ii if and only if its antipodal point θ0Sn-\theta_0\in S^n is a non-degenerate critical point of the dual convex integrand δ\delta with Morse index (ni)(n-i).
