Abstract

In this short note we answer a query of Brodzki, Niblo, Špakula, Willett and Wright by showing that all bounded degree uniformly locally amenable graphs have Property A. For the second result of the note recall that Kaiser proved that if $Γ$ is a finitely generated group and $\{H_i\}^\infty_{i=1}$ is a Farber sequence of finite index subgroups, then the associated Schreier graph sequence is of Property A if and only if the group is amenable. We show however, that there exist a non-amenable group and a nested sequence of finite index subgroups $\{H_i\}^\infty_{i=1}$ such that $\cap H=\{e_Γ\}$, and the associated Schreier graph sequence is of Property A.

$β$-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.
