Theorem (Funk–Hecke)

Let d ≥ 2, k ∈ N0 and Yk be a spherical harmonic of degree k.Then ∫

Sd−1

F (ω · θ)Yk(ω) dω = λkYk(θ)

for any θ ∈ Sd−1 and any function F ∈ L1([−1, 1], (1− t2)d−3

2 ).

Here, the constant λk is given by

λk = |Sd−2|∫ 1

−1F (t)Pk,d(t)(1− t2)

d−32 dt

where Pk,d is the Legendre polynomial of degree k in d dimensions.

Convex geometry (a brief detour)

Corollary

Let F ∈ L1([−1, 1], (1− t2)d−3

2 ) and let λk be as above in theFunk–Hecke theorem.

Suppose that G is a continuous functionsuch that ∫

Sd−1

F (ω · θ)G (θ)dθ = 0

for each ω ∈ Sd−1.

(1) λk 6= 0 for all k ∈ N0 ⇒ G = 0.

(2) λk 6= 0 for all odd k ∈ N0 ⇒ G is even.

(3) λk 6= 0 for all even k ∈ N0 ⇒ G is odd.


Corollary

Let F ∈ L1([−1, 1], (1− t2)d−3

2 ) and let λk be as above in theFunk–Hecke theorem. Suppose that G is a continuous functionsuch that ∫

Sd−1

F (ω · θ)G (θ)dθ = 0


(1) λk 6= 0 for all k ∈ N0 ⇒ G = 0.




Corollary

Let F ∈ L1([−1, 1], (1− t2)d−3


Sd−1

F (ω · θ)G (θ)dθ = 0


(1) λk 6= 0 for all k ∈ N0 ⇒ G = 0.




Corollary

Let F ∈ L1([−1, 1], (1− t2)d−3


Sd−1

F (ω · θ)G (θ)dθ = 0


(1) λk 6= 0 for all k ∈ N0 ⇒ G = 0.




Corollary

Let F ∈ L1([−1, 1], (1− t2)d−3


Sd−1

F (ω · θ)G (θ)dθ = 0

⇒∫

For (F ,G ) as in the corollary, we obtain

λk

∫Sd−1

Yk(θ)G (θ) dθ = 0.

Completeness of spherical harmonics in L2(Sd−1) immediatelyimplies (1).Additionally, Yk has same parity as k. This yields (2) and (3).

in which case the corollary is often applicable.

Apply to F (t) = t`1[0,1](t) and F is a Dirac mass at the origin,respectively.

The Busemann–Petty problem

Busemann–Petty (1956): If K1 and K2 are origin-symmetric convexbodies in Rd such that

vold−1(K1 ∩ H) ≤ vold−1(K2 ∩ H)

for all hyperplanes H containing the origin, is it true that

vold(K1) ≤ vold(K2)?

No for d ≥ 5: Larman–Rogers (d ≥ 12), Ball (d ≥ 10),Giannopoulos, Bourgain (d ≥ 7), Gardner, Papadimitrakis (d ≥ 5).

Yes for d ≤ 4: Gardner (d = 3), Zhang (d = 4).

Short proof of d = 4 by Koldobsky using Funk–Hecke theorem.



vold−1(K1 ∩ H) ≤ vold−1(K2 ∩ H)








vold−1(K1 ∩ H) ≤ vold−1(K2 ∩ H)








vold−1(K1 ∩ H) ≤ vold−1(K2 ∩ H)








vold−1(K1 ∩ H) ≤ vold−1(K2 ∩ H)

For higher dimensions, we want to use the case (d , ρ) = (d , 3− d).But 3− d < −2 for d ≥ 6.

The case (d , ρ) = (3,−1) was used by Foschi to prove thatconstant functions are extremisers in the Stein–Tomas inequality

‖gdσ‖L4(R3) ≤ C‖g‖L2(dσ).

This was partially extended to higher dimensions byCarneiro–Oliveira e Silva, with a similar obstruction preventing ageneralisation to all dimensions.
