Eine Extremalaufgabe über Sechsecke zur Berechnung spezieller Banach-Masur-Abstände
The purpose of this paper is to continue the investigations on extremal values for inner and outer radii of the unit ball of a finite-dimensional real Banach space for the Holmes-Thompson and Busemann measures. Furthermore, we give a related new characterization of ellipsoids in via codimensional cross-section measures.
We study the way in which the Euclidean subspaces of a Banach space fit together, somewhat in the spirit of the Kashin decomposition. The main tool that we introduce is an estimate regarding the convex hull of a convex body in John's position with a Euclidean ball of a given radius, which leads to a new and simplified proof of the randomized isomorphic Dvoretzky theorem. Our results also include a characterization of spaces with nontrivial cotype in terms of arrangements of Euclidean subspaces.
We study the extremal volume of central hyperplane sections of complex n-dimensional -balls with 0 < p ≤ 2. We show that the minimum corresponds to hyperplanes orthogonal to vectors ξ = (ξ¹,...,ξⁿ) ∈ ℂⁿ with |ξ¹| = ... = |ξⁿ|, and the maximum corresponds to hyperplanes orthogonal to vectors with only one non-zero coordinate.
