Abstract

Let xx and yy be two unit vectors in a normed plane R2\mathbb{R}^2. We say that xx is Birkhoff orthogonal to yy if the line through xx in the direction yy supports the unit disc. A B-measure (Fankh\"anel 2011) is an angular measure μ\mu on the unit circle for which μ(C)=π/2\mu(C)=\pi/2 whenever CC is a shorter arc of the unit circle connecting two Birkhoff orthogonal points. We present a characterization of the normed planes that admit a B-measure.
