Abstract
We study Minkowski valuations compatible with translations and projections. We first introduce the concept of translation–projection covariance for Minkowski valuations. Then, we show that, under some conditions, monotone translation–projection covariant Minkowski valuations are exactly orthogonal projections, which gives a characterization of the orthogonal projection operators on Euclidean spaces.
