Abstract: Consider some convex body $Ksubsetmathbb{R}^d$. Let $X_1,dots,X_k$, where $kleqd$, be random points independently and uniformly chosen in $K$, and let $x{i}_k$ be a uniformly distributed random linear $k$-plane. We show that for $pgeq-d+k+1$, [ mathbb E,|Kcapxi_k|^{d+p}leq c_{d,k,p} cdot|K|^k, ,mathbb E,|mathrm{conv}(0,X_1, dots,X_k)|^p, ] where $|cdot|$ and $mathrmconv$ denote the volume of correspondent dimension and the convex hull. The constant $c_{d,k,p}$ is such that for $k>1$ the equality holds if and only if $K$ is an ellipsoid centered at the origin, and for $k=1$ the inequality turns to equality. If $p=0$, then the inequality reduces to the Busemann intersection inequality, and if $k=d$ -- to the Busemann random simplex inequality. We also present an affine version of this inequality which similarly generalizes the Schneider inequality and the Blaschke-Gr"omer inequality.
