Abstract: We study the $C^4$ smooth convex bodies $mathbbKsubsetmathbb{R}^{n+1}$ satisfying $K(x)=u(x{)}^{1-p}$, where $xinmathbb{S}^n$, $K$ is the Gauss curvature of $partialmathbbK$, $u$ is the support function of $mathbbK$, and $p$ is a constant. In the case of $n=2$, either when $pin[-1,0]$ or when $pin(0,1)$ in addition to a pinching condition, we show that $mathbbK$ must be the unit ball. This partially answers a conjecture of Lutwak, Yang, and Zhang about the uniqueness of the $L_p$-Minkowski problem in $mathbb{R}^3$. Moreover, we give an explicit pinching constant depending only on $p$ when $pin(0,1)$.

Review text

Let \(\mathbb{K}\subseteq \mathbb{R}^{n+1}\) be a \(C^{4}\)-smooth convex body containing the origin as its interior. Let \(K(x)\) denote the (positive) Gauss-Kronecker curvature at the point of the boundary \(\partial \mathbb{K}\) of \(\mathbb{K}\) where \(x\) is the unit outer normal vector to \( \partial \mathbb{K}\) at that point. Also, let \(u(x)\) denote the support function of \(\mathbb{K}\). Lutwak, Yang and Zhang stated the following conjecture: Let \(p\in (-n-1,1)\). If the \(p\)-curvature \([u(x)]^{1-p}/[K(x)]\) is constant for every \(x\in \mathbb{S}^n\), then \(\mathbb{K}\) must be a ball. The authors prove the following partial solution of the Lutwak-Yang-Zhang conjecture: The Lutwak-Yang-Zhang conjecture is true if either (i) \(p\in [ -1,0]\) or (ii) \(p\in (0,1)\) and the principal curvatures of \(\partial \mathbb{K}\) satisfy the following pinching relation \(k_1\geq k_2\geq \beta(p)k_1\), where \(\beta(p)=2[(1-\sqrt{1-\delta}) /\delta] -1\), \(\delta =\sqrt{1-(1-p)^2}\).
