Abstract
Several open problems concerning Minkowski endomorphisms and Minkowski valuations are solved. More precisely, it is proved that all Minkowski endomorphisms are uniformly continuous but that there exist Minkowski endomorphisms that are not weakly-monotone. This answers questions posed repeatedly by Kiderlen (Trans Am Math Soc 358:5539–5564, 2006), Schneider (Convex bodies: the Brunn–Minkowski theory. Second expanded edition, encyclopedia of mathematics and its applications. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2014) and Schuster (Trans Am Math Soc 359:5567–5591, 2007). Furthermore, a recent representation result for Minkowski valuations by Schuster and Wannerer is improved under additional homogeneity assumptions. Also a question related to the structure of Minkowski endomorphisms by the same authors is answered. Finally, it is shown that there exists no McMullen decomposition in the class of continuous, even, SO(n)-equivariant and translation invariant Minkowski valuations extending a result by Parapatits and Wannerer (Duke Math J 162:1895–1922, 2013).
