| contents | In convex geometry, the constructions that assign to a convex body its difference body, projection body, or volume have the following properties: They are (1) invariant under volume-preserving linear changes of coordinates; (2) continuous; (3) finitely additive, and the resulting convex bodies are subsets of an irreducible representation of the special linear group. In this paper we explore the question whether there exist other constructions with these properties. We discover a surprising dichotomy: There are no new examples if one assumes translation invariance, but a plethora of examples without this assumption. |
