This is an announcement for the paper "A solution to a question of A. Koldobsky" by Emanuel Milman.
Abstract: In 2000, A. Koldobsky asked whether two types of generalizations of the notion of an intersection-body, are in fact equivalent. The structures of these two types of generalized intersection-bodies have been studied by the author in [http://www.arxiv.org/math.MG/0512058], providing substantial positive evidence for a positive answer to this question. The purpose of this note is to construct a counter-example, which provides a surprising negative answer to this question in a strong sense. This negative answer implies the existence of a non-trivial non-negative function in the range of the spherical Radon transform.
