Convex valuations invariant under the Lorentz group (Q2509581)

Let \(\mathcal{K}(\mathbb{R}^n)\) denote the family of convex bodies in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) equipped with the Hausdorff metric. A valuation is a functional \(\phi:\mathcal{K}(\mathbb{R}^n)\rightarrow \mathbb{C}\) such that \(\phi(A \cup B)=\phi(A)+\phi(B)-\phi(A \cap B)\) whenever \(A,B,A \cup B \in \mathcal{K}(\mathbb{R}^n)\). It is called even if \(\phi(-K)=\phi(K)\), odd if \(\phi(-K)=-\phi(K)\), and \(k\)-homogeneous if \(\phi(\lambda K)=\lambda^k\phi(K)\) for all \(K \in \mathcal{K}(\mathbb{R}^n)\) and \(\lambda \geq 0\). Let \(O(n-1,1)\) be the group of all linear transformations of \(\mathbb{R}^n\) that preserve the Minkowski quadratic form \(Q(x)=\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} x_i -x_n\). The Lorentz group \(\mathrm{SO}^+(n-1,1)\) is the connected component of \(\mathrm{O}(n-1,1)\) that contains the identity. The authors give explicit classifications of all even and all odd \(k\)-homogeneous continuous \(\mathrm{SO}^+(n-1,1)\)-invariant and translation-invariant valuations, \(k=0,\dots,n\), this way characterizing all continuous \(\mathrm{SO}^+(n-1,1)\)-invariant and translation-invariant valuations. In addition, they classify all even \(\mathrm{SO}^+(n-1,1)\)-invariant generalized valuations, where the space of generalized valuations is the completion of the space of all smooth valuations under certain weak topology.
