Relative entropy of cone measures and LpL_p centroid bodies

preprint2009arXivOpen access

Abstract

Let KK be a convex body in Rn\mathbb R^n. We introduce a new affine invariant, which we call ΩKΩ_K, that can be found in three different ways: as a limit of normalized LpL_p-affine surface areas, as the relative entropy of the cone measure of KK and the cone measure of K∘K^\circ, as the limit of the volume difference of KK and LpL_p-centroid bodies. We investigate properties of ΩKΩ_K and of related new invariant quantities. In particular, we show new affine isoperimetric inequalities and we show a "information inequality" for convex bodies.
