## Abstract We give a number of characterizations of bodies of constant width in arbitrary dimension. As an application, we describe a way to construct a body of constant width in dimension __n__, one of its (__n__ โ 1)โdimensional projection being given. We give a number of examples, like a fourโd

In this paper we prove the following result: THEOREM. Let K be a planar set of constant width 6; if {Bt, B2, B3} is a cover of K, in which the diameters d (Bi), where i = 1, 2, 3, are smaller than ~, then d(nl The proof is an immediate consequence of the three lemmas of Section 2. 1. NOTATION
## IN-AND CIRCUMCENTERS OF MANIFOLDS OF CONSTANT WIDTH Bodies of constant width W in an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold M n, n t> 2, were introduced and studied in [3]. That paper dealt mostly with the curvature of the boundary of such a body K and also established that the diameter D of K satis
