Abstract: | IfK is an equichordal set of chord length 1, i.e. ann-dimensional convex body with a pointp K such that every chord throughp has length 1, it can be shown that

n
v(K) <
n
/2, wherev(K) denotes the volume ofK and
n
the volume of ann-dimensional unit ball. Explicit estimates are established for the deviation ofK from a ball of radius 1/2 ifv(K)–
n

n
is small, and from a semiball of radius 1 if 1/2
n
–v(K) is small.Supported by National Science Foundation Research Grant DMS 8701893. |
