We introduce an evolution model à la Firey for a convex stone which tumbles on a beach and undertakes an erosion process depending on some variational energy, such as torsional rigidity, a principal Dirichlet Laplacian eigenvalue, or Newtonian capacity. Relying on the assumption of the existence of a solution to the corresponding parabolic flow, we prove that the stone tends to become asymptotically spherical. Indeed, we identify an ultimate shape of these flows with a smooth convex body whose ground state satisfies an additional boundary condition, and we prove symmetry results for the corresponding overdetermined elliptic problems. Moreover, we extend the analysis to arbitrary convex bodies: we introduce new notions of cone variational measures and we prove that, if such a measure is absolutely continuous with constant density, the underlying body is a ball.

For fixed positive integer n, $$p\in [0,1)$$ p ∈ [ 0 , 1 ) , $$a\in (0,1)$$ a ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) , we prove that if a function $$g:{\mathbb {S}}^{n-1}\rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}$$ g : S n - 1 → R is sufficiently close to 1, in the $$C^a$$ C a sense, then there exists a unique convex body K whose $$L_p$$ L p curvature function equals g. This was previously established for $$n=3$$ n = 3 , $$p=0$$ p = 0 by Chen et al. (Adv Math 411(A):108782, 2022) and in the symmetric case by Chen et al. (Adv Math 368:107166, 2020). Related, we show that if $$p=0$$ p = 0 and $$n=4$$ n = 4 or $$n\le 3$$ n ≤ 3 and $$p\in [0,1)$$ p ∈ [ 0 , 1 ) , and the $$L_p$$ L p curvature function g of a (sufficiently regular, containing the origin) convex body K satisfies $$\lambda ^{-1}\le g\le \lambda $$ λ - 1 ≤ g ≤ λ , for some $$\lambda >1$$ λ > 1 , then $$\max _{x\in {\mathbb {S}}^{n-1}}h_K(x)\le C(p,\lambda )$$ max x ∈ S n - 1 h K ( x ) ≤ C ( p , λ ) , for some constant $$C(p,\lambda )>0$$ C ( p , λ ) > 0 that depends only on p and $$\lambda $$ λ . This also extends a result from Chen et al. [10]. Along the way, we obtain a result, that might be of independent interest, concerning the question of when the support of the $$L_p$$ L p surface area measure is lower dimensional. Finally, we establish a strong non-uniqueness result for the $$L_p$$ L p -Minkowksi problem, for $$-n<p<0$$ - n < p < 0 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
