Integrable bodies in odd-dimensional spaces
Abstract
V. Arnold's problem 1987-14 asks whether there exist smooth hypersurfaces in RN (other than the conics in odd-dimensional spaces) for which the volume of the segment cut by any hyperplane from the body bounded by such a hypersurface is an algebraic function of the hyperplane. We desribe very realistic candidates for the role of such new hypersurfaces: in particular, it are examples (additional to Archimedes' conics) of such hypersurfaces, for which the analytic continuation of this volume function is finitely valued.
