Title: Wulff Shapes and a Characterization of Simplices Via a Bezout Type Inequality
Abstract: Inspired by a fundamental theorem of Bernstein, Kushnirenko, and Khovanskii we study the following Bezout type inequality for mixed volumes V(L_1,dots,L_{n})V_n(K)leq V(L_1,K)V(L_2,dots, L_{n},K).
We show that the...
