Is a complete, reduced set necessarily of constant width?

Abstract

Is it true that a convex body KK being complete and reduced with respect to some gauge body CC is necessarily of constant width, that is, satisfies KK=ρ(CC)K-K=\rho(C-C) for some ρ>0\rho>0? We prove this implication for several cases including the following: if KK is a simplex and or if KK possesses a smooth extreme point, then the implication holds. Moreover, we derive several new results on perfect norms.
