The main goal of this paper is to present a series of inequalities connecting the surface area measure of a convex body and surface area measure of its projections and sections. We present a solution of a question from S. Campi, P.…
We provide general inequalities that compare the surface area S(K) of a convex body K in ${\mathbb R}^n$ to the minimal, average or maximal surface area of its hyperplane or lower dimensional projections. We discuss the same questions for…
We consider a generalization of the hyperplane problem to arbitrary measures in place of volume and to sections of lower dimensions. We prove this generalization for unconditional convex bodies and for duals of bodies with bounded volume…
The Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin symmetric convex bodies in $\R^n$ with smaller hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller volume. The answer is affirmative if $n\leq 3$ and negative if $n\geq 4.$ We consider a class of…

The lower dimensional Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin-symmetric convex bodies in R^n with smaller volume of all k-dimensional sections necessarily have smaller volume. The answer is negative for k>3. The problem is still open for…
We derive a formula connecting the derivatives of parallel section functions of an origin-symmetric star body in R^n with the Fourier transform of powers of the radial function of the body. A parallel section function (or (n-1)-dimensional…
Several years ago the authors started looking at some problems of convex geometry from a more general point of view, replacing volume by an arbitrary measure. This approach led to new general properties of the Radon transform on convex…
The purpose of this article is to describe a reduction of the slicing problem to the study of the parameter I_1(K,Z_q^o(K))=\int_K ||< :, x> ||_{L_q(K)}dx. We show that an upper bound of the form I_1(K,Z_q^o(K))\leq C_1q^s\sqrt{n}L_K^2,…
Since the answer to the complex Busemann-Petty problem is negative in most dimensions, it is natural to ask what conditions on the (n-1)-dimensional volumes of the central sections of complex convex bodies with complex hyperplanes allow to…

The Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin-symmetric convex bodies in real Euclidean n-space with smaller central hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller volume. The answer is affirmative for n less or equal to 4 and negative if n…
We prove new versions of the isomorphic Busemann-Petty problem for two different measures and show how these results can be used to recover slicing and distance inequalities. We also prove a sharp upper estimate for the outer volume ratio…
The complex Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin symmetric convex bodies in $\C^n$ with smaller central hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller volume. We prove that the answer is affirmative if $n\le 3$ and negative if $n\ge 4.$
