An extension of Minkowski's theorem and its applications to questions about projections for measures (Q2326664)

The main scope of this paper is to provide an extension of Minkowski's classical theorem about centered measures on the sphere. Given a measure \(\mu\) on an Euclidean space with positive degrees of concavity and homogeneity, it is shown that a surface area measure of a convex set, weighted with respect to \(\mu\), determines a convex body uniquely up to \(\mu\)-measure zero. A corresponding existence result is derived under natural hypotheses. Consequences of the main result are generalizations of Alexandrov's theorem and of the solution to the Shephard's problem.
