Hernández Cifre, María Á. The hidden geometry in the zeroes of the Steiner polynomial. (Spanish) Zbl 1230.52001 Gac. R. Soc. Mat. Esp. 13, No. 2, 265-281 (2010). A historical survey is presented on the connections and developments of topics like the theory of Brunn-Minkowski, convex bodies, total mean curvature, the geometry lying behind the zeroes of Steiner polynomials. The contents are told in very good way; for details one might consult the appropriate list of references in the paper. Such like the books by Gruber, Hadwiger, Marden, Minkowski, Oda, Schneider, dealing with subjects like convex geometry, lectures on volume, surface and isoperimetrie, geometry of polynomials, theory of convex bodies. Such like the papers by R. J. Gardner [Bull. Am. Math. Soc., New Ser. 39, No. 3, 355–405 (2002; Zbl 1019.26008)], V. Katsnelson [Complex Anal. Oper. Theory 3, No. 1, 147–220 (2009; Zbl 1171.53049)], dealing with Steiner polynomials and its zeroes and with the Brunn-Minkowski inequality. But there is much more to be learned from this nice paper.
