On a generalization of Busemann's intersection inequality

Busemann's intersection inequality gives an upper bound for the volume of the intersection body of a star body in terms of the volume of the body itself. Koldobsky, Paouris, and Zymonopoulou asked if there is a similar result for $k$-intersection bodies. We solve this problem for star bodies that are close to the Euclidean ball in the Banach-Mazur distance. We also improve a bound obtained by Koldobsky, Paouris, and Zymonopoulou for general star bodies in the case when $k$ is proportional to the dimension.

On the volume of sections of a convex body by cones

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb R^n$. We prove that in small codimensions, the sections of a convex body through the centroid are quite symmetric with respect to volume. As a consequence of our estimates we give a positive answer to a problem posed by M. Meyer and S. Reisner regarding convex intersection bodies.
