The centroid-section conjecture for pairs of convex bodies
The centroid-section conjecture for pairs of convex bodies
Let , , be different convex bodies. For every affine hyperplane that intersects both bodies, consider the centroids of and . Centroid-section conjecture. If these centroids coincide for every such , then and are concentric, homothetic ellipsoids. The conjecture was recently proved by F. Nazarov, D. Ryabogin, V. Yaskin, and B. Zawalski for centrally symmetric convex bodies with boundary of class ; the unrestricted statement remains unresolved.
