Abstract

We prove an analogue of Gr\"unbaum's inequality on the sphere. Let n3n \geq 3 and let KK be a convex body on Sn1Rn\mathbb S^{n-1}\subset \mathbb R^n with centroid at θSn1\theta\in \mathbb S^{n-1}. Then for any uSn1u\in \mathbb S^{n-1} that is orthogonal to θ\theta we have σ(Ku+)(11n)n1σ(K),\sigma(K\cap u^+) \ge \left(1-\frac{1}{n}\right)^{n-1} \sigma(K), where σ\sigma denotes the spherical measure. The constant in this inequality is optimal.
