Abstract

We show [Formula presented]≥([Formula presented])[Formula presented] for all k-dimensional subspaces E⊂Rn, θ∈E∩Sn−1, and all γ-concave functions f:Rn→[0,∞) with γ>0, 0<∫Rn f(x)dx<∞ and ∫Rn xf(x)dx at the origin o∈Rn. Here, θ+:={x:〈x,θ〉≥0}. As a consequence of this result, we get the following generalization of Grünbaum's inequality: [Formula presented]≥([Formula presented])k for all convex bodies K⊂Rn with centroid at the origin, k-dimensional subspaces E⊂Rn, and θ∈E∩Sn−1. The lower bounds in both of our inequalities are the best possible, and we discuss the equality conditions.
