The Busemann-Petty problem in hyperbolic and spherical spaces

Functional Analysis 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin-symmetric convex bodies in Rn\mathbb{R}^n with smaller central hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller nn-dimensional volume. It is known that the answer to this problem is affirmative if n4n\le 4 and negative if n5n\ge 5. We study this problem in hyperbolic and spherical spaces.
