Abstract

A coincidence site lattice is a sublattice formed by the intersection of a lattice $Γ$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with the image of $Γ$ under a linear isometry. Such a linear isometry is referred to as a linear coincidence isometry of $Γ$. Here, we consider the more general case allowing any affine isometry. Consequently, general results on coincidence isometries of shifted copies of lattices, and of crystallographic point packings are obtained. In particular, we discuss the shifted square lattice and the diamond packing in detail.

$β$-Uniform Convexity and Divisible Domains

Divisible convex sets have long been important in the study of Hilbert geometries. When a divisible convex set is an ellipsoid, the Hilbert geometry it induces is the hyperbolic space. In general, strictly convex divisible domains exhibit negative curvature properties, but only the ellipsoid is a CAT(0) space. The notion of p-uniform convexity from the theory of Banach spaces has been proposed by Shin-Ichi Ohta as a generalization of the Alexandrov-Toponogov comparison theorems to Finsler manifolds. We prove that a natural Finsler metric on a strictly convex divisible domain is $β$-uniformly convex, where the constant $β$ is related to the regularity of the boundary. We use this to show, with AI assistance, that the Hilbert metric, under suitable local and scale-dependent assumptions, is $β$-uniformly convex on such domains.

A positive solution to the $L^p$ projection centroid conjecture

In a classical paper [21] in 2000, Lutwak-Yang-Zhang established the $L^p$ analog of the Petty projection inequality and the $L^p$ analog of the Busemann-Petty centroid inequality. In Section 7 of [21], Lutwak-Yang-Zhang proposed the important $L^p$ projection centroid conjecture. We give a positive solution to the $L^p$ projection centroid conjecture in this work.

Minimal central slices of the regular simplex

We prove that minimal-volume hyperplane sections of the regular simplex through its centroid are parallel to a facet. The proof combines variational methods with Fourier-analytic techniques and zero-diminishing arguments to show that every critical normal vector has at most three distinct non-zero coordinates. Analysis of the two- and three-value cases then yields the sharp lower bound.
