Smooth valuations on convex functions

Metric Geometry 2021-10-18 v3

Abstract

We construct valuations on the space of finite-valued convex functions using integration of differential forms over the differential cycle associated to a convex function. We describe the kernel of this procedure and show that the intersection of this space of smooth valuations with the space of all continuous dually epi-translation invariant valuations on convex functions is dense in the latter. As an application, we obtain a description of 1-homogeneous, continuous, dually epi-translation invariant valuations that are invariant with respect to a compact subgroup operating transitively on the unit sphere.
