Various results are proved giving lower bounds for the $m$th intrinsic volume $V_m(K)$, $m=1,\dots,n-1$, of a compact convex set $K$ in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$, in terms of the $m$th intrinsic volumes of its projections on the coordinate…

The longstanding Godbersen's conjecture states that for any convex body $K \subset \mathbb R^n$ of volume $1$ and any $j \in \{0, \ldots, n\}$, the mixed volume $V_j = V(K[j], -K[n - j])$ is bounded by $\binom{n}{j}$, with equality if and…

We prove the following isoperimetric-type inequality: for every convex body $K$ in $\mathbb R^n$ and some $\sigma\subset[n]:=\{1,\dots,n\}$ there exists a suitable Hanner polytope $B_K$ with the same volume as $K$ and such that the volume…

The distance between convex bodies \(K, L \subseteq \R^n\) is defined as \[ d(K,L)= \inf \left\{ \lambda \ge 1: \ L-x \subseteq T (K-y) \subseteq \lambda (L-x) \right\}, \] where the infimum is taken over all \(x,y \in \R^n\) and all…

Let $d \ge 2$, and let $K \subset {\Bbb{R}}^d$ be a convex body containing the origin $0$ in its interior. In a previous paper we have proved the following. The body $K$ is $0$-symmetric if and only if the following holds. For each $\omega…
