We introduce a new affine invariant, which we call $\\Omega_K$, that can be found in three different ways: as a limit of normalized $L_p$-affine surface areas, as the relative entropy of the cone measure of $K$ and the cone measure of $K^\\circ$, as the limit of the volume difference of $K$ and $L_p$-centroid bodies. We investigate properties of $\\Omega_K$ and of related new invariant quantities. In particular, we show new affine isoperimetric inequalities and we show a \"information inequality\" for convex bodies.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-09-24T04:22:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "52A20", "53A15" ], "keywords": [ "cone measure", "centroid bodies", "relative entropy", "convex body", "affine surface areas" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0909.4361P" } } }
