The role of the Rogers-Shephard inequality in the characterization of the difference body

The difference body operator enjoys different characterization results relying on its basic properties such as continuity, SL(n)-covariance, Minkowski valuation or symmetric image. The Rogers-Shephard and the Brunn-Minkowski inequalities provide upper and lower bounds for the volume of the difference body in terms of the volume of the body itself. In this paper we aim to understand the role of the Rogers-Shephard inequality in characterization results of the difference body and, at the same time, to study the interplay among the different properties. Among others, we prove that the difference body operator is the only continuous and GL(n)-covariant operator from the space of convex bodies to the origin-symmetric ones which satisfies a Rogers-Shephard type inequality while every continuous and GL(n)-covariant operator satisfies a Brunn-Minkowski type inequality.

How do difference bodies in complex vector spaces look like? A geometrical approach

We investigate geometrical properties and inequalities satisfied by the complex difference body, in the sense of studying which of the classical ones for the difference body have an analog in the complex framework. Among others we give an equivalent expression for the support function of the complex difference body and prove that, unlike the classical case, the dimension of the complex difference body depends on the position of the body with respect to the complex structure of the vector space. We use spherical harmonics to characterize the bodies for which the complex difference body is a ball, we prove that it is a polytope if and only if the two bodies involved in the construction are polytopes and provide several inequalities for classical magnitudes of the complex difference body, as volume, quermassintegrals and diameter, in terms of the corresponding ones for the involved bodies.

Minkowski valuations in a 2-dimensional complex vector space

The classification of continuous, translation invariant Minkowski valuations which are contravariant (or covariant) with respect to the complex special linear group is established in a 2-dimensional complex vector space. Every such valuation is given by the sum of a valuation of degree of homogeneity 1 and 3. In dimensions $m\geq 3$ such a classification was previously established and only valuations of a degree of homogeneity 2m-1 appear.

Difference bodies in complex vector spaces

A complete classification is obtained of continuous, translation invariant, Minkowski valuations on an m-dimensional complex vector space which are covariant under the complex special linear group.

The Gauss-Bonnet theorem and Crofton type formulas in complex space forms

We compute the measure with multiplicity of the set of complex planes intersecting a compact domain in a complex space form. The result is given in terms of the so-called hermitian intrinsic volumes. Moreover, we obtain two different versions for the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula in complex space forms. One of them gives the Gauss curvature integral in terms of the Euler characteristic, and some hermitian intrinsic volumes. The other one, which is shorter, involves the measure of complex hyperplanes meeting the domain. As a tool, we obtain variation formulas in integral geometry of complex space forms.

Projection bodies in complex vector spaces

The space of Minkowski valuations on an m-dimensional complex vector space which are continuous, translation invariant and contravariant under the complex special linear group is explicitly described. Each valuation with these properties is shown to satisfy geometric inequalities of Brunn-Minkowski, Aleksandrov-Fenchel and Minkowski type.
