Abstract:
In this paper, we show that for any dimension $d \ge 3$ there exists a body of constant breadth $C$, such that its projection onto any 2-plane is non-spherical. We call such a body totally non-spherical. The circumradius of the projection of any totally non-spherical body $C$ of constant breadth onto any 2-plane is bigger than the half diameter of $C$. Showing the existence of such a body extends results of Eggleston [E] and Weissbach [W], who showed it in the case $d=3$.
