Abstract

Let KSd1K\subset\mathbb S^{d-1} be a convex spherical body. Denote by Δ(K)\Delta(K) the distance between two random points in KK and denote by σ(K)\sigma(K) the length of a random chord of KK. We explicitly express the distribution of Δ(K)\Delta(K) via the distribution of σ(K)\sigma(K). From this we find the density of distribution of Δ(K)\Delta(K) when KK is a spherical cap.
