  2. Some Properties Commutativity: Associativity: Homogeneity of degree k: Monotonicity: Identity: Continuity: GL(n) covariance: Projection covariance: Note that for compact convex sets, continuity and GL(n) covariance implies projection covariance.

  3. Theorem 1 [GHW 2] is projection covariant iff where M is a 1-unconditional compact convex set in An Orlicz-Brunn-Minkowski theory was initiated by LYZ (also Ludwig, Reitzner) in 2010. E. Lutwak, D. Yang, and G. Zhang, Orlicz projection bodies,Adv. Math. 223 (2010), 220-242. E. Lutwak, D. Yang, and G. Zhang, Orlicz centroid bodies,J. Differential Geom. 84 (2010), 365-387. C.

  4. Orlicz Addition [GHW2, XJL] Consider the set Φmof convex functions φ: [0,∞)m → [0,∞), increasing in each variable, such that φ(o) = 0 and φ(ej)=1 for j = 1,…, m. If m ≥ 2, define by The operation +φis well defined, monotonic, continuous, GL(n) covariant, (hence projection covariant) and Normalization, identity property!

  5. Why Not a Simpler Definition? Recall Lp addition: ? NO! [Theorem 10.1, GHW2] implies that φ(t) = tp for p ≥ 1. This uses associativity and earlier results. In fact [Theorem 5.10, GHW2] states that Orlicz addition is associative if and only if it is Lp addition for 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. [Theorem 5.9, GHW2] gives necessary and sufficient conditions on φfor +φ to be commutative.

  6. General Framework [GHW2] For with define the Orlicz norm of f with respect to µ. Take and for , let Then defines a compact convex set C(φ,µ) in

  7. Applications [GHW2] If we get Orlicz addition. Defining, for each K, µ = γK by Defining, for each K, µ = πK by yields C(φ, µ) = Γ φK, the Orlicz centroid body. yields C(φ, µ) = Π φK, the Orlicz projection body. D. Xi, H. Jin,and G. Leng, The Orlicz-Brunn-Minkowski inequality,Adv. Math. 260 (2014), 350-374. [XJL]

  8. Applications [GHW2] If we get Orlicz addition. Project: What other choices of μ lead to interesting and useful sets C(φ, µ) ?

  9. Relation to M-Addition For let Jφ be the 1-unconditional convex body in defined by By [Theorem 5.3, GHW2], is M-addition with and is M-addition with Moreover, IfM is 1-unconditional with e1,…, em in its boundary, then the converse holds with

  10. Extension to Arbitrary Sets One might define by or equivalently by A different extension, akin to that of LYZ for Lp addition, is considered in [Section 6, GHW2], but only when m = 2. Project: Investigate fully the possibility of extending Orlicz addition so that Is there any relationship with M-addition?

  14. i-Symmetrizations Let An i-symmetrization on a class of compact sets in is a map where is the class of sets in that are H-symmetric, i.e. symmetric with respect to the (fixed) i-dimensional subspace H. Monotonicity: Projection invariance: Invariance on H-symmetric sets: Invariance on H-symmetric spherical cylinders:

  16. Steiner Symmetrization Let H be an (n-1)-dimensional subspace in and let be an (n-1)-symmetrization. If is monotonic, volume preserving, and eitherinvariant on H-symmetric spherical cylinders orprojection invariant, then for each K not contained in a hyperplane orthogonal to H. Various examples show that none of the assumptions in these results can be omitted. G. Bianchi, R.J.G.,and P. Gronchi, Symmetrization in geometry,Adv. Math. 306 (2017), 51-88. [BGG1]

  20. Convergence Let and let be a symmetrization process on . Suppose that for each i-dimensional subspace H, is monotonic, invariant on H-symmetric sets, and invariant under translations orthogonal to H of H-symmetric sets. If (Hm) is an M-universal sequence, then (Hm)is weakly -universal. ? Example: monotonic + invariant on H-symmetric sets + M-universal -universal. G. Bianchi, R.J.G.,and P. Gronchi, Convergence of symmetrization processes,in preparation. [BGG2]

  21. Klain’s Theorem [BGG2] Let (Hm) be a sequence of (n-1)-dimensional subspaces chosen from a finite set , each appearing infinitely often. Then for every , the successive Steiner symmetrals converge to a compact convex set that is symmetric with respect to each subspace in . Klain’s theorem holds when , where H is i-dimensional, , is monotonic,invariant on H-symmetric sets, invariant under translations orthogonal to H of H-symmetric sets, and continuous. D. Klain, Steiner symmetrization using a finite set of directions,Adv. in Appl. Math. 48 (2012), 340-353.

  22. Corollaries [BGG2] 1. For each , Klain’s theorem holds for fiber and Minkowski symmetrization. 2.
