How far apart can the projection of the centroid of a convex body and the centroid of its projection be?

Publication date 29 December 2022

Abstract: We show that there is a constant

D a p p r o x 0.2016

such that for every

n

, every convex body

K s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{n}

, and every hyperplane

H s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{n}

, the distance between the projection of the centroid of

K

onto

H

and the centroid of the projection of

K

onto

H

is at most

D

times the width of

K

in the direction of the segment connecting the two points. The constant

D

is asymptotically sharp.
