Abstract
We introduce a new volume definition on normed vector spaces. We show that the induced $k$-area functionals are convex for all $k$. In the particular case $k = 2$, our theorem implies that Busemann’s 2-volume density is convex, which was recently shown by Burago-Ivanov. We also show how the new volume definition is related to the centroid body and prove some affine isoperimetric inequalities.
