Review text

The authors give a strong negative answer to a generalized version of the Busemann-Petty problem, by proving the following theorem. There exist centered convex bodies of revolution, \(K\) and \(L\), in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) so that \[ \text{vol}_i (K\cap\xi) <\text{vol}_i (L\cap \xi) \] for all \(3<i<n\) and all \(i\)-dimensional linear subspaces \(\xi\) of \(\mathbb{R}^n\), but \[ \text{vol}_n (K) >\text{vol}_n(L). \] (The bounds on \(i\) are best possible.) On the other hand, if \(K\) is a centered convex body sufficiently close to the unit ball \(B_n\) and if \(\text{vol}_2(K\cap \xi) \leq\text{vol}_2 (B_n\cap \xi)\) for all two-dimensional subspaces \(\xi\), then \(\text{vol}_n(K) \leq\text{vol}_n(B_n)\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0911.00007].
