A ball characterization in spaces of constant curvature

J. Jerónimo-Castro, E. Makai Jr

Published 2017-08-03Version 1

High proved the following theorem. If the intersections of any two congruent copies of a plane convex body are centrally symmetric, then this body is a circle. In our paper we extend the theorem of High to spherical, Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces, under some regularity assumptions. If in any of these spaces there is a pair of closed convex sets of class $C^2_+$ with interior points, different from the whole space, and the intersections of any congruent copies of these sets are centrally symmetric, then our sets are congruent balls.
