Optimal Horoball Packing Densities for Koszul-type tilings in Hyperbolic $3$-space

Abstract

We determine the optimal horoball packing densities for Koszul-type Coxeter simplex tilings in hyperbolic $3$-space. Using a parametrization of horoballs by the Busemann function and the symmetry of the tilings, we obtain families of packings that attain the universal simplicial density upper bound \[ d_3(\infty) \;=\; \left( 2 \sqrt{3}\,Λ\!\left(\tfracπ{3}\right) \right)^{-1} \;\approx\; 0.853276, \] where $Λ$ denotes the Lobachevsky function. These results show that extremal packing densities in $\mathbb{H}^3$ are realized by multiple explicit Coxeter tilings and are closely tied to special values of $L$-functions and hyperbolic manifold volumes.

$β$-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.
