Abstract
We show \begin{align*} \frac{ \int_{E \cap \theta^+} f(x) dx }{ \int_E f(x) dx } \geq \left(\frac{k \gamma+1}{(n+1) \gamma+1}\right)^{\frac{k \gamma+1}{\gamma}} \end{align*} for all -dimensional subspaces , , and all -concave functions with , , and at the origin . Here, . As a consequence of this result, we get the following generalization of Gr\"unbaum's inequality: \begin{align*} \frac{ \mbox{vol}_k(K\cap E\cap\theta^+) }{ \mbox{vol}_k(K\cap E) } \geq \left( \frac{k}{n+1} \right)^k \end{align*} for all convex bodies with centroid at the origin, -dimensional subspaces , and . The lower bounds in both of our inequalities are the best possible, and we discuss the equality conditions.
