Abstract

We provide general inequalities that compare the surface area $S(K)$ of a convex body $K$ in ${{\mathbb{R}}^{n}}$ to the minimal, average, or maximal surface area of its hyperplane or lower dimensional projections. We discuss the same questions for all the quermassintegrals of $K$. We examine separately the dependence of the constants on the dimension in the case where $K$ is in some of the classical positions or $K$ is a projection body. Our results are in the spirit of the hyperplane problem, with sections replaced by projections and volume by surface area.
