Identities linking volumes of convex hulls

Let n points be randomly and independently placed in Rd according to a common probability law. It is known that the expected volume for the convex hull of these points, in the cases where n - d . 2 and even, is related linearly to expected volumes of the convex hulls for j points, j < n. We show that similar identities for these volumes hold almost surely - and in contexts where independence and communality of law do not apply. New geometric and topological identities developed here provide a foundation for this result.
