Covering shadows with a smaller volume

For n?2 a construction is given for convex bodies K and L in Rn such that the orthogonal projection Lu onto the subspace u^⊥ contains a translate of Ku for every direction u, while the volumes of K and L satisfy Vn(K)>Vn(L).A more general construction is then given for n-dimensional convex bodies K and L such that each orthogonal projection Lξ onto a k-dimensional subspace ξ contains a translate of Kξ, while the mth intrinsic volumes of K and L satisfy Vm(K)>Vm(L) for all m>k.For each k=1,…,n, we then define the collection Cn,k to be the closure (under the Hausdorff topology) of all Blaschke combinations of suitably defined cylinder sets (prisms).It is subsequently shown that, if L∈Cn,k, and if the orthogonal projection Lξ contains a translate of Kξ for every k-dimensional subspace ξ of Rn, then Vn(K)?Vn(L).The families Cn,k, called k-cylinder bodies of Rn, form a strictly increasing chain
