Abstract

In Euclidean d-space Ed we prove inequalities between the intrinsic volumes (i.e., normalized quermassintegrals) of convex bodies and the successive minima of arbitrary lattices. The inequalities are tight and they generalize earlier results of Hadwiger and Henk for the integer lattice ℤd.
