Abstract
The paper is devoted to the behavior of volume ratios, the modified Banach–Mazur distance, and the vertex index for sums of convex bodies. It is shown that sup d ( A ⊕ K , B ⊕ L ) ≥ sup ∂ ( A ⊕ K , B ⊕ L ) ≥ c ⋅ n 1 − k + k ′ 2 n , \begin{equation*} \sup d (\mathrm {A}\oplus \mathrm {K},\mathrm {B}\oplus \mathrm {L}) \geq \sup \partial (\mathrm {A}\oplus \mathrm {K},\mathrm {B}\oplus \mathrm {L}) \geq c \cdot n^{1-\frac {k+k’}{2n}}, \end{equation*} if K ⊂ R n \mathrm {K}\subset \mathbb {R}^n and L ⊂ R k \mathrm {L}\subset \mathbb {R}^k are convex and symmetric (the supremum is taken over all symmetric convex bodies A ⊂ R n − k \mathrm {A}\subset \mathbb {R}^{n-k} and B ⊂ R n − k ′ ) \mathrm {B}\subset \mathbb {R}^{n-k’}) . Furthermore, some examples are discussed that show that the available extimates of the vertex index in terms of the volume ratio are not sharp.
