Let (V, E) denote a graph with vertex set V= V (T) and edge set E= E (). Suppose a group TL acts on V such that:(i) for all g Ti,{gu, gv} GE if and only if {u, v} E,(ii) for any two vertices and v, there is a g T such that guv. Then we say is a homogeneous graph with the associated group Ti. In other words, is vertex-transitive under the action of Ti and We can identify V with the coset space Ti/X where X={g E Ti: gvv}, for a fixed vertex v, denotes the isotropy group. We note that the Cayley graph is a special case of homogeneous graphs with X trivial. The edge set of a homogeneous graph can be described by an (edge) generating set ii H such that each edge of is of the form {v, gv} for some v V, and g . In this paper we require the generating set to be symmetric, ie, g if and only if g^ 1 K. We say that a homogeneous graph is invariant if for every vertex a K, we have aKa-1= K.

A classification of $\SLn$ contravariant, continuous function-valued valuations on convex bodies is established. Such valuations are natural extensions of $\SLn$ contravariant $L_p$ Minkowski valuations, the classification of which characterized $L_p$ projection bodies, which are fundamental in the $L_p$ Brunn-Minkowski theory, for $p \geq 1$. Hence our result will help to better understand extensions of the $L_p$ Brunn-Minkowski theory. In fact, our results characterize general projection functions which extend $L_p$ projection functions ($p$-th powers of the support functions of $L_p$ projection bodies) to projection functions in the $L_p$ Brunn-Minkowski theory for $0< p < 1$ and in the Orlicz Brunn-Minkowski theory.

In this article, we propose the notion of the general $p$-affine capacity and prove some basic properties for the general $p$-affine capacity, such as affine invariance and monotonicity. The newly proposed general $p$-affine capacity is compared with several classical geometric quantities, e.g., the volume, the $p$-variational capacity and the $p$-integral affine surface area. Consequently, several sharp geometric inequalities for the general $p$-affine capacity are obtained. These inequalities extend and strengthen many well-known (affine) isoperimetric and (affine) isocapacitary inequalities.
