Review text

The authors study the reflections of a convex body. In particular, they are interested in orthogonal reflections of its sections that can be extended to reflections of the whole body. They study the case of a nonspherical ellipsoid. The authors give a characterization of ellipsoids in terms of their reflections and prove a result related to a conjecture due to K. Bezdek.
