Abstract/Media

In this talk, we will construct two convex bodies K and L, such that their projections K|H, L|H onto every subspace H are congruent, but nevertheless, K and L do not coincide up to a translation or a reflection in the origin. This gives a negative answer to an old conjecture posed by Nakajima and Suss.
