Abstract

Removing the dependence on dimension of the inequalities between quermassintegrals resulting from the Aleksandrov-Fenchel inequalities leads to universal quadratic inequalities between intrinsic volumes, and to an inequality for the Wills functional. The inequalities correspond to equations which hold in the polytope algebra.
