A quermassintegral form of the \(L_p\)-Busemann-Petty centroid inequality (Q2075356)

\textit{E. Lutwak} and \textit{G. Zhang} [J. Differ. Geom. 47, No. 1, 1--16 (1997; Zbl 0906.52003)] introduced the \(L_{p}\)-centroid body \(\Gamma_{p}(S)\) of a star body \(S\). \(\Gamma_{p}(S)\) is the convex body whose support function is given by \[ h_{\Gamma_{p}(K)}^{p}(\xi)=\frac{1}{c_{n,p}}\int_{S}|\langle \xi,x\rangle|^{p}dx, \] where \( c_{n,p} \) is a constant that depends only on \(n\) and \(p\). \textit{E. Lutwak} et al. [J. Differ. Geom. 56, No. 1, 111--132 (2000; Zbl 1034.52009)] proved the following \(L_{p}\)-Busemann-Petty centroid inequality. For all star bodies \(S\) \[ \operatorname{vol}_{n}(S)\leq \operatorname{vol}_{n}(\Gamma_{p}(S)) \] with equality if and only if \(S\) is an ellipsoid centered at the origin. In this paper, the author proves a variant of this inequality, substituting the volume by the first quermassintegral and by considering only convex bodies \(K\) instead of star bodies \[ W_{1}(K)\leq W_{1}(\Gamma_{p}(K)). \]
