In Example 0.1.5 of the paper [1], there was given an incorrect explicit

description of the Fourier transform FV on 1-homogeneous valuations on a

two-dimensional vector space V (while the description of FV on 0- and 2-

homogeneous valuations was correct). This description was not used anywhere

in the paper and does not affect any of the other results and statements.

We present now a correct description. Any valuation φ ∈ V alsm1 (V ) can be

written uniquely in the form

φ(K) =

∫S1

h(ω)dS1(K,ω),

where h : S1 → C is a smooth function which is orthogonal on the unit circle

S1 to the two dimensional space of linear functionals. Let us decompose h to

the even and odd parts:

h = h+ + h−.

We decompose further the odd part h− to “holomorphic” and “anti-holomo-

rphic” parts,

h− = hhol− + hanti

− ,

as follows. Let us decompose h− to the usual Fourier series on the circle S1:

h−(ω) =∑k

h−(k)eikω .

Then by definition

hhol− (ω) :=

∑k>0

h−(k)eikω and hanti− (ω) :=

∑k<0

h−(k)eikω .

Hence the Fourier transform of the valuation φ is equal to

(FV φ)(K) =

∫S1

(h+(Jω) + hhol− (Jω))dS1(K,ω)−

∫S1

hanti− (Jω)dS1(K,ω),

where J is the rotation of R2 by π/2, counterclockwise.
