Abstract

We prove that for any two convex open bounded bodies K and T there exists a diffeomorphism f: K → T preserving volume ratio (i.e. with constant determinant of the Jacobian) and such that the Minkowski sum K + T = {x + f(x)\x ∈ K}. As an application of this method, we prove some of the Alexandov-Fenchel inequalities.
