实、复和四元数空间中凸体体积的比较

Comparison of volumes of convex bodies in real, complex, and quaternionic spaces

Boris Rubin

摘要:

经典的Busemann-Petty问题(1956)提出了一个问题,即在具有较小超平面中心截面的$\mathbb {R}^n$中,原点对称的凸体是否一定具有较小的体积。已知,如果是$n\le 4$,则答案是肯定的,如果是$n>4$,则答案是否定的。当用其他具有几何意义的比较函数代替超平面截面的体积时,也会提出同样的问题。我们给出统一的论述,这一圈的问题,在真正的,复杂的,和四元数$n$维空间。所有病例同时治疗。特别是,我们表明,Busemann-Petty问题在四元数$n$维空间有一个肯定的答案,当且仅当$n =2$。该方法依赖于单位球面上余弦变换的性质。可能的概括进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

The classical Busemann-Petty problem (1956) asks, whether origin-symmetric convex bodies in $\mathbb {R}^n$ with smaller hyperplane central sections necessarily have smaller volumes. It is known, that the answer is affirmative if $n\le 4$ and negative if $n>4$. The same question can be asked when volumes of hyperplane sections are replaced by other comparison functions having geometric meaning. We give unified exposition of this circle of problems in real, complex, and quaternionic $n$-dimensional spaces. All cases are treated simultaneously. In particular, we show that the Busemann-Petty problem in the quaternionic $n$-dimensional space has an affirmative answer if and only if $n =2$. The method relies on the properties of cosine transforms on the unit sphere. Possible generalizations are discussed.
