Valuation theory of indefinite orthogonal groups

摘要

Let SO+(p, q) denote the identity connected component of the real orthogonal group with signature (p, q). We give a complete description of the spaces of continuous and generalized translation- and SO+(p, q) -invariant valuations, generalizing Hadwiger's classification of Euclidean isometry-invariant valuations. As a result of independent interest, we identify within the space of translation-invariant valuations the class of Klain Schneider continuous valuations, which strictly contains all continuous translation -invariant valuations. The operations of pull-back and push-forward by a linear map extend naturally to this class. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
