Abstract

We consider the construction of a family $\{K_N\}$ of $3$-dimensional Koch-type surfaces, with a corresponding family of $3$-dimensional Koch-type ``snowflake analogues" $\{\mathcal{C}_N\}$, where $N>1$ are integers with $N \not\equiv 0 \,(\bmod\,\, 3)$. We first establish that the Koch surfaces $K_N$ are $s_N$-sets with respect to the $s_N$-dimensional Hausdorff measure, for $s_N=\log(N^2+2)/\log(N)$ the Hausdorff dimension of each Koch-type surface $K_N$. Using self-similarity, one deduces that the same result holds for each Koch-type crystal $\mathcal{C}_N$. We then develop lower and upper approximation monotonic sequences converging to the $s_N$-dimensional Hausdorff measure on each Koch-type surface $K_N$, and consequently, one obtains upper and lower bounds for the Hausdorff measure for each set $\mathcal{C}_N$. As an application, we consider the realization of Robin boundary value problems over the Koch-type crystals $\mathcal{C}_N$, for $N>2$.

$β$-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.
