Valuations in affine convex geometry

Abstract: In convex geometry, the constructions that assign to a convex body its difference body, projection body, or volume have the following properties: They are (1) invariant under volume-preserving linear changes of coordinates; (2) continuous; and (3) finitely additive. In this paper we explore the question whether there exist other constructions with these properties. We discover a surprising dichotomy: There are no new examples if one assumes translation invariance, but a plethora of examples without this assumption.
