Singular valuations and the Hadwiger theorem on convex functions

Abstract: We give a characterization of smooth, rotation and dually epi-translation invariant valuations and use this result to obtain a new proof of the Hadwiger theorem on convex functions. We also give a description of the construction of the functional intrinsic volumes using integration over the differential cycle and provide a new representation of these functionals as principal value integrals with respect to the Hessian measures.
