Abstract

A question related to some conjectures of Lutwak about the affine quermassintegrals of a convex body KK in Rn{\mathbb R}^n asks whether for every convex body KK in Rn{\mathbb R}^n and all 1kn1\leqslant k\leqslant n Φ[k](K):=voln(K)1n(Gn,kvolk(PF(K))ndνn,k(F))1kncn/k,\Phi_{[k]}(K):={\rm vol}_n(K)^{-\frac{1}{n}}\left (\int_{G_{n,k}}{\rm vol}_k(P_F(K))^{-n}\,d\nu_{n,k}(F)\right )^{-\frac{1}{kn}}\leqslant c\sqrt{n/k}, where c>0c>0 is an absolute constant. We provide an affirmative answer for some broad classes of random polytopes. We also discuss upper bounds for Φ[k](K)\Phi_{[k]}(K) when K=B1nK=B_1^n, the unit ball of 1n\ell_1^n, and explain how this special instance has implications for the case of a general unconditional convex body KK.
