The affine geometry of convex bodies is the theory of the invariant entities and equivariant associated bodies with respect to the group of the volume preserving affine transformations of the \(n\)-dimensional affine space, i.e. the equiaffine geometry of the convex bodies. This theory is nowadays an important independent topic of geometry. In this book the author discusses the equiaffine geometry and differential geometry of convex bodies and convex surfaces and especially stresses analogies to classical Euclidean differential geometry. Hereby he omits the affiliated theory of the mixed volume as being classical. The first part of the present book treats the basic concepts of the occurring objects group theory, convex bodies and affine differential geometry of curves and hypersurfaces. The second part is devoted to the presentation of the building blocks of the equiaffine geometry of general convex bodies, the most important of which is the so-called affine surface area which has recently been introduced using the fact that, according to A. D. Aleksandrov, every convex function is twice differentiable almost everywhere. The main part of the monograph is the third chapter, the subject of which is the treatment of inequalities for the equiaffine entities where the case of equality leads to special convex bodies, such as for example to ellipsoids and simplices. Some additional characterizations of such special bodies are given in the fourth chapter, while the remaining part of the book is devoted to the equiaffine differential geometry of the boundaries of smooth convex bodies. Here analogies to the euclidean case are described, including the relatively new theory of evolutions. Some of the practical applications in areas such as shipbuilding and the numerous open problems, together with possible conjectures, are indicated. This book is an accessible introduction to the latest developments in the subject.
