Let $K \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ be a convex body. Assume thatTheorem. If all orthogonal projections of a convex body $K$$K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ onto $2$-dimensional subspaces have a center of symmetry., then Does it follow that $K$ must also have a center of symmetry?$K$ has a center of symmetry.
The question that came up in some work I'm doing right nowThis is just a bit differentclassic result of Blaschke and Hessenberg (that I just learned thanks to Guillaume's comment.). A short simple proof of it can be found in Bonnesen and Fenchel.
I wonder if it is necessary to know what happens for every orthogonal projection or whether we can get by with less:
Question 1. Let $K \subset \mathbb{R}^{2n}$$K \subset \mathbb{C}^{n}$ be a convex body. Assume all orthogonal projections of $K$ onto Lagrangian subspacescomplex lines have a center of symmetry. Does it follow that $K$ must also have a center of symmetry?
Note. The center of symmetry of the shadows may depend on the subspace containing it.
A similar question is:
Question 2. Let $K \subset \mathbb{C}^{n}$ be a convex body. Assume all orthogonal projections of $K$ onto Lagrangian subspaces have a center of symmetry. Does it follow that $K$ must also have a center of symmetry?
