Shallow sections of the hypercube (Q6165185)

It was shown in [\textit{J. Moody} et al., Fields Inst. Commun. 68, 211--228 (2013; Zbl 1270.52008)] that, given a \(d\)-dimensional ball \(B\) (with \(d\geq 3\)) that shares its center with the hypercube \([0, 1]^d\) and contains the midpoints of the edges of \([0, 1]^d\) in its interior, the largest possible \((d-1)\)-dimensional volume of \(H\cap [0, 1]^d\), where \(H\) is a hyperplane of \({\mathbb R}^d\) tangent to \(B\), is obtained if and only if \(H\) is orthogonal to a diagonal of the hypercube. In the paper under review, the result from the above paper and, to some extent, the result from \textit{H. König} [Adv. Math. 376, Article ID 107458, 36 p. (2021; Zbl 1459.52009)], are extended for dimension \(d\geq 5\) by showing that, even if \(B\) -- with the same center as that of \([0, 1]^d\) -- is only required to contain the centers of the square faces of \([0, 1]^d\) in its interior, the volume of \(H \cap [0, 1]^d\) is still maximal if and only if \(H\) is orthogonal to a diagonal of the hypercube.
