Let $d ge 2$, and let $K subset {Bbb{R}}^d$ be a convex body containing the origin $0$ in its interior. In a previous paper we have proved the following. The body $K$ is $0$-symmetric if and only if the following holds. For each $omega in S^{d-1}$, we have that the $(d-1)$-volume of the intersection of $K$ and an arbitrary hyperplane, with normal $omega$, attains its maximum if the hyperplane contains $0$. An analogous theorem, for $1$-dimensional sections and $1$-volumes, has been proved long ago by Hammer (cite{H}). In this paper we deal with the ($(d-2)$-dimensional) surface area, or with lower dimensional quermassintegrals of these intersections, and prove an analogous, but local theorem, for small $C^2$-perturbations, or $C^3$-perturbations of the Euclidean unit ball, respectively.

Let $K$ be an isotropic symmetric convex body in ${mathbb R}^n$. We show that a subspace $Fin G_{n,n-k}$ of codimension $k=gamma n$, where $gammain (1/sqrt{n},1)$, satisfies $$Kcap Fsubseteq frac{c}{gamma }sqrt{n}L_K (B_2^ncap F)$$ with probability g reater than $1-exp (-sqrt{n})$. Using a different method we study the same question for the $L_q$-centroid bodies $Z_q(mu )$ of an isotropic log-concave probability measure $mu $ on ${mathbb R}^n$. For every $1leq qleq n$ and $gammain (0,1)$ we show that a random subspace $Fin G_{n,(1-gamma )n}$ satisfies $Z_q(mu )cap Fsubseteq c_2(gamma )sqrt{q},B_2^ncap F$. We also give bounds on the diameter of random projections of $Z_q(mu )$ and using them we deduce that if $K$ is an isotropic convex body in ${mathbb R}^n$ then for a random subspace $F$ of dimension $(log n)^4$ one has that all directions in $F$ are sub-Gaussian with constant $O(log^2n)$.
We prove several estimates for the volume, mean width, and the value of the Wills functional of sections of convex bodies in Johns position, as well as for their polar bodies. These estimates extend some well-known results for convex bodies in Johns position to the case of lower-dimensional sections, which had mainly been studied for the cube and the regular simplex. Some estimates for centrally symmetric convex bodies in minimal surface area position are also obtained.
We present an alternative approach to some results of Koldobsky on measures of sections of symmetric convex bodies, which allows us to extend them to the not necessarily symmetric setting. We prove that if $K$ is a convex body in ${mathbb R}^n$ with $0in {rm int}(K)$ and if $mu $ is a measure on ${mathbb R}^n$ with a locally integrable non-negative density $g$ on ${mathbb R}^n$, then begin{equation*}mu (K)leq left (csqrt{n-k}right )^kmax_{Fin G_{n,n-k}}mu (Kcap F)cdot |K|^{frac{k}{n}}end{equation*} for every $1leq kleq n-1$. Also, if $mu $ is even and log-concave, and if $K$ is a symmetric convex body in ${mathbb R}^n$ and $D$ is a compact subset of ${mathbb R}^n$ such that $mu (Kcap F)leq mu (Dcap F)$ for all $Fin G_{n,n-k}$, then begin{equation*}mu (K)leq left (ckL_{n-k}right )^{k}mu (D),end{equation*} where $L_s$ is the maximal isotropic constant of a convex body in ${mathbb R}^s$. Our method employs a generalized Blaschke-Petkantschin formula and estimates for the dual affine quermassintegrals.
We define a set inner product to be a function on pairs of convex bodies which is symmetric, Minkowski linear in each dimension, positive definite, and satisfies the natural analogue of the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality (which is not implied by the othe r conditions). We show that any set inner product can be embedded into an inner product space on the associated support functions, thereby extending fundamental results of Hormander and Radstrom. The set inner product provides a geometry on the space of convex bodies. We explore some of the properties of that geometry, and discuss an application of these ideas to the reconstruction of ancestral ecological niches in evolutionary biology.
We study a long standing open problem by Ulam, which is whether the Euclidean ball is the unique body of uniform density which will float in equilibrium in any direction. We answer this problem in the class of origin symmetric n-dimensional convex bo dies whose relative density to water is 1/2. For n=3, this result is due to Falconer.
