[Banach] Abstract of a paper by Elisabeth Werner and Deping Ye

This is an announcement for the paper "Inequalities for mixed $p$-affine surface area" by Elisabeth Werner and Deping Ye.

Abstract: We prove new Alexandrov-Fenchel type inequalities and new affine isoperimetric inequalities for mixed $p$-affine surface areas. We introduce a new class of bodies, the illumination surface bodies, and establish some of their properties. We show, for instance, that they are not necessarily convex. We give geometric interpretations of $L_p$ affine surface areas, mixed $p$-affine surface areas and other functionals via these bodies. The surprising new element is that not necessarily convex bodies provide the tool for these interpretations.
