The support of dually epi-translation invariant valuations on convex functions
Abstract
We study dually epi-translation invariant valuations on cones of convex functions containing the space of finite-valued convex functions. The existence of a homogeneous decomposition is used to associate a distribution to every valuation of this type similar to the Goodey-Weil embedding for translation invariant valuations on convex bodies. The relation between the valuation and its associated distribution is used to establish a notion of support for valuations. As an application, we show that there are no or translation invariant valuations except constant valuations in this class and we discuss which valuations on finite-valued convex functions can be extended to larger cones. In addition, we examine some topological properties of spaces of valuations with compact support.
