Abstract:
A classification of SL(n) co- or contravariant Minkowski valuations will be presented. Here, a Minkowski valuation is a mapping from convex bodies to convex bodies which satisfies the inclusion-exclusion principle. Thereby, we obtain new characterizations of the projection and centroid body operator. Our result shows that the additional assumption of homogeneity in previous classifications is not necessary.
