Abstract of a paper by A.Koldobsky, V.Yaskin and M.Yaskina
This is an announcement for the paper "Modified Busemann-Petty problem on sections of convex bodies" by A.Koldobsky, V.Yaskin and M.Yaskina. Abstract: The Busemann-Petty problem asks whether origin-symmetric convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smaller central hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller $n$-dimensional volume. It is known that the answer is affirmative if $n\le 4$ and negative if $n\ge 5$. In this article we modify the assumptions of the original Busemann-Petty problem to guarantee the affirmative answer in all dimensions.
