Tóm tắt

After a few claims about lunes and convex sets on the d-dimensional sphere $$S^d$$ we present some relationships between the diameter, width and thickness of reduced convex bodies and bodies of constant diameter on $$S^d$$. These relationships are applied for proving the final theorem, which permits to recognize if a Wulff shape in the Euclidean space is self-dual.
