Abstract: Illuminating the surface of a convex body with parallel beams of light in a given direction generates a shadow region. We prove sharp regularity results for the boundary of this shadow in every direction of illumination. Moreover, techniques are developed for investigating the regularity of the region generated by orthogonally projecting a convex set onto another. As an application we study the geometry and Hausdorff dimension of the singular set corresponding to a Monge-Ampere equation.
