Tóm tắt

A generalization is given of the work of J. Bokowski [1] referring to the product of the volumes of the two parts into which a convex body is divided by a plane. The proof uses formulas of Integral Geometry and a conjecture of L. A. Santaló [2], and holds for the two parts determined by any (n−1)-dimensional surface in the euclideann-space and for dimensionsn=2, 3 in the hyperbolic space.
