Abstract

We give a uniform approximation of the characteristic function of the boundary of a centrally symmetric n-dimensional compact and convex set by homogeneous polynomials of even degree dd fulfilling gd1E/d1/2β|g_d-1|\leq E/d^{1/2-\beta}, for every β>0\beta>0, large enough dd, and some constant EE only depending on nn and KK. In particular, this proves a conjecture posed by Kroo in 2004, also known as the Stone-Weierstrass theorem for homogeneous polynomials. Moreover, we introduce the d-volume ratio for a convex body KK in Rn\mathbb R^n, by means of its d-Lasserre-L\"owner polynomial. We also prove an upper bound of the d-volume ratio of the form 1+F/d3/2β1+F/d^{3/2-\beta}, for every β>0\beta>0, large enough dd, and FF some constant only depending on nn.

The Theorem 1.3 and Corollary 1.4 are wrong. However, the qualitative version of Corollary 1.4 can be found recently proven in arXiv:2007.07952
