On algebraically integrable domains in Euclidean spaces

Abstract

Let $D$ be a bounded domain $D$ in $\mathbb R^n $ with infinitely smooth boundary and $n$ is odd. We prove that if the volume cut off from the domain by a hyperplane is an algebraic function of the hyperplane, free of real singular points, then the domain is an ellipsoid. This partially answers a question of V.I. Arnold: whether odd-dimensional ellipsoids are the only algebraically integrable domains?
