Let M_(t) be an isoparametric foliation on the unit sphere(S^(n−1)(1),g^(st))with d principal curvatures.Using the spherical coordinatesinduced by M_(t),we construct a Minkowski norm with the representation F=r√2f(t),which generalizes the notions of(α,β)-norm and(α1,α2)-norm.Using the technique of the spherical local frame,we givean exact and explicit answer to the question when F=r√2 f(t)really defines a Minkowski norm.Using the similar technique,we study the Hessian isometry Φ between two Minkowski norms induced by M_(t),which preservesthe orientation and fixes the spherical ξ-coordinates.There aretwo ways to describe this Φ,either by a system of ODEs,or by its restriction toany normal plane for M_(t),which is then reduced to a Hessian isometry between Minkowski norms on R^(2) satisfying certain symmetry and(d)-properties.When d>2,we prove that this Φ can be obtained by gluing positive scalar multiplications and compositions of the Legendre transformation and positive scalar multiplications,so it must satisfy the(d)-property for any orthogonal decomposition R^(n)=V'+V'',i.e.,for any nonzero x=x'+x'' and Φ(x)=x=x'+x''with x',x'∈V'and x'',x''∈V'',we have g_(x)^(F1)(x'',x)=g_(x)^(F2)x(x'',x).As byproducts,we prove the following results.On the indicatrix(S_(F,g)),where F is a Minkowski norm induced by M_(t) and g is the Hessian metric,the foliation N_(t)=S_(F)∩R>_(0)M_(0) is isoparametric.Laugwitz Conjecture is valid for a Minkowski norm F induced by M_(t),i.e.,if its Hessian metric g is flat on R^(n)\{0}with n>2,then F is Euclidean.
