[La convexité faible n'implique pas la convexité des courbes dans , n>2]
Une courbe lisse fermée dans est appelée convexe si chaque hyperplan l'intersecte en au plus n points, compte tenu des multiplicités. Une courbe convexe n'a pas d'aplatissement et son hyperplan osculateur ne l'intersecte qu'au point d'osculation. Une courbe fermée dans est convexe si et seulement si elle a ces deux propriétés. En réponse à une question de V.I. Arnol'd ([2,3] et [4]), nous montrons que pour n>2, ces deux propriétés n'impliquent pas la convexité des courbes fermées dans .
A smooth closed curve in is called convex if any hyperplane intersects it in at most n points, taking multiplicities into account. A convex curve has no flattening and its osculating hyperplane intersects it only at the point of osculation. A closed curve in (in ) is convex if and only if it has these two properties. Answering a question of V.I. Arnol'd ([2,3] and [4]), we show that, for n>2, these two properties do not imply the convexity of closed curves in .
