Abstract

We give lower bounds for the volume, the surface area, and the other quermass-integrals of centro-symmetric convex universal covers in n-dimensional Euclidean spaces. The estimates are sharp in the case n = 2. The given bounds are also bounds for the quermassintegrals of convex translation covers.
