Abstract

We determine the maximal non-central hyperplane sections of the n-dimensional l1-ball if the fixed distance of the hyperplane to the origin is between 1 / √ 3 and 1 / √ 2. This adds to a result of Liu and Tkocz who considered the distance range between 1 / √ 2 and 1. For n > 3, the maximal sections are parallel to the (n-1)-dimensional coordinate planes. We also study non-central sections of the complex l12- and l_∞2-balls, where the formulas are more complicated than in the real case. Also, the extrema are partially different than in the real case.
