Abstract: A celebrated theorem of P. Funk [F] states that an origin-centered star body in R³ is determined by the areas of its central hyperplane cross-sections. In particular, if all these concurrent sections have the same area then the surface must be a sphere. It is natural to try to strengthen the theorem by using a smaller class of planes. It is evident that a lower-dimensional class of hyperplanes, e.g., planes passing through an axis, does not suce, but a proper open subset of planes appears... (Update)
