Cone-volume measures of polytopes (Q2445965)

The authors investigate cone-volume measures of convex polytopes with centroid at the origin, which are Borel measures on the unit sphere corresponding to given convex bodies. Cone-volume measures were studied in recent years in various contexts. They prove that such measures (for polytopes) satisfy the so-called subspace concentration condition. From this the authors derive an important affine isoperimetric inequality for the U-functional, characterizing the equality case (holding iff the polytope is an affine cube). The relations to the \(L_p\)-Minkowski problem are discussed, too.
