Given $n$ convex bodies in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, we can find their volume polynomial which is a homogeneous polynomial of degree $d$ in $n$ variables. We consider the set of homogeneous polynomials of degree $d$ in $n$ variables that can be represented as the volume polynomial of any such given convex bodies. This set is a subset of the set of Lorentzian polynomials. Using our knowledge of operations that preserve the Lorentzian property, we give a complete classification of the cases for $(n,d)$ when the two sets are equal.

We prove that projective spaces of Lorentzian and real stable polynomials are homeomorphic to Euclidean balls. This solves a conjecture of June Huh and the author. The proof utilises and refines a connection between the symmetric exclusion process in interacting particle systems and the geometry of polynomials.
