The generic contact of convex bodies with circumscribed homothets of a convex surface (Q1182995)

Let \(\mathcal C\) be the space of convex bodies in \(E^ d\). Let \(\mathcal S\) be the set of all surfaces directly homothetic to a smooth and strictly convex surface in \(E^ d\). For a given convex body \(C\), the surface \(S(C)\in {\mathcal S}\), whose convex hull includes \(C\) and has minimal volume, known to be unique, is said to be \(\mathcal S\)-circumscribed about \(C\). Theorem: Most convex bodies \(C\) in \(\mathcal C\) have precisely \(d+1\) points in common with the \(\mathcal S\)-circumscribed surface of \(C\). These points form an irreducible subset of \(S(C)\).
