Review text

The authors prove that if \(K\) and \(K'\) are planar convex bodies with the same parallel X-rays in \(n\geq3\) different directions, then \[ | K\triangle K'| \leq \frac{1-\cos(\pi/n)}{\cos(\pi/n)} \,| K_1\cap K_2| \] with equality if and only if, up to an affine transformation, \(K\) is a regular \(n\)-gon and \(K'\) is \(K\) rotated by \(\pi /n\) about its center. In addition, related sharp affine invariant inequalities are derived and used to establish stability estimates for Hammer's problem if the \(n\) directions are known up to an error. Affine stability estimates are also obtained in the case of X-rays emanating from \(n\) collinear points.
