An Affine Invariant Minkowski Problem

Antoine Ablondi

Résumé

Minkowski problem Area measures Divisible convex set Affine sphere Covolume
In Euclidean space, the generalised Minkowski problem asks, for a given finite Radon measure $\mu$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^d$ , to find a compact convex set $K$ with area measure $\mu$. For convex sets in the Minkowski space invariant under an affine deformation of a uniform lattice of $\mathrm{SO} _0(d, 1)$, the analogous Minkowski problem was considered and solved by Barbot-Béguin-Zeghib (partially) and Bonsante-Fillastre. By a theorem of Mess-Barbot-Bonsante, that also solves the Minkowski problem in flat Lorentzian spacetimes with compact hyperbolic Cauchy surface.We consider convex domains of the oriented real affine space $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ which are invariant under a subgroup of affine transformations obtained by adding translation parts to a discrete subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}(\mathbb{R}^{d+1})$ dividing a convex cone. We prove that those convex domains satisfy a local Steiner Formula, allowing to introduce natural area measures and define an affine invariant Minkowski problem. We then solve that Minkowski problem through a variational method using the convexity of a covolume functional. We also give an interpretation of those results in some "affine spacetimes", which were introduced by the author in a preceding work.
