Star bodies with completely symmetric sections
Abstract
We say that a star body is completely symmetric if it has centroid at the origin and its symmetry group forces any ellipsoid whose symmetry group contains , to be a ball. In this short note, we prove that if all central sections of a star body are completely symmetric, then has to be a ball. A special case of our result states that if all sections of are origin symmetric and 1-symmetric, then has to be a Euclidean ball. This answers a question from \cite{R2}. Our result is a consequence of a general theorem that we establish, stating that if the restrictions in almost all equators of a real function defined on the sphere, are isotropic functions, then is constant a.e. In the last section of this note, applications, improvements and related open problems are discussed and two additional open questions from \cite{R} and \cite{R2} are answered.}
