Abstract: Mixed volumes

V (K_{1}, d o t s, K_{d})

of convex bodies

K_{1}, d o t s, K_{d}

in Euclidean space

m a t h b b R^{d}

are of central importance in the Brunn-Minkowski theory. Representations for mixed volumes are available in special cases, for example as integrals over the unit sphere with respect to mixed area measures. More generally, in Hug-Rataj-Weil (2013) a formula for

V (K [n], M [d - n])

,

n i n 1, d o t s, d - 1

, as a double integral over flag manifolds was established which involved certain flag measures of the convex bodies

K

and

M

(and required a general position of the bodies). In the following, we discuss the general case

V (K_{1} [n_{1}], d o t s, K_{k} [n_{k}])

,

n_{1} + c d o t s + n_{k} = d

, and show a corresponding result involving the flag measures

O m e g a_{n_{1}} (K_{1}; c d o t), d o t s, O m e g a_{n_{k}} (K_{k}; c d o t)

. For this purpose, we first establish a curvature representation of mixed volumes over the normal bundles of the bodies involved. We also obtain a corresponding flag representation for the mixed functionals from translative integral geometry and a local version, for mixed (translative) curvature measures.
