Volume sums of polar Blaschke-Minkowski homomorphisms (Q2354962)

This paper establishes the following two Minkowski and Aleksandrov-Fenchel type inequalities for the volume sum of polar Blaschke-Minkowski homomorphisms. {Theorem 1.} Let \(\Phi\) be an even Blaschke-Minkowski homomorphism. Let \(D, D', K\) and \(L\) be convex bodies in \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\) and let \(D\) be a dilate of \(D'\). If \(1\leq j\leq n-2\), then \[ S_{V}(\Phi_{j}^{*}(K,L),\Phi_{j}^{*}(D,D'))^{n-1}\leq S_{V}(\Phi^{*}K, \Phi^{*}D)^{n-j-1}S_{V}(\Phi^{*}L, \Phi^{*}D')^{j}, \] with equality if and only if \(K\) and \(L\) are homothetic and \((V(\Phi^{*}K),V(\Phi^{*}L))=\mu(V(\Phi^{*}D),V(\Phi^{*}D'))\) for some constant \(\mu\). {Theorem 2.} Let \(\Phi\) be an even Blaschke-Minkowski homomorphism. If \(K_{i}\) and \(D_{i}\) (\(1\leq i\leq n-1\)) are convex bodies in \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\), and the bodies \(D_{1},\dots,D_{r}\) are homothetic copies of each other, then for every \(1\leq r\leq n-1\), \[ \begin{split} S_{V}&(\Phi^{*}(K_{1},\dots,K_{n-1}), \Phi^{*}(D_{1},\dots,D_{n-1}))^{r}\\ &\leq\prod_{j=1}^{r}S_{V}(\Phi^{*}(K_{j},\dots,K_{j},K_{r+1},\dots,K_{n-1}), \Phi^{*}(D_{j},\dots,D_{j},D_{r+1},\dots,D_{n-1})). \end{split} \]
