Review of Steiner formulas in Fractal Geometry via Support measures and Complex Dimensions

Abstract

We review the theoretical framework that establishes a crucial bridge between the general Steiner-type formula of Hug, Last, and Weil and the theory of complex (fractal) dimensions of Lapidus et all. Two novel families of geometric functionals are introduced based on the support measures of the set itself as well as of its parallel sets, respectively. The associated scaling exponents provide new tools for extracting geometric information of the set, beyond its classical fractal dimensions while also encoding its outer Minkowski dimension. Furthermore the scaling exponents also directly connect to the complex dimensions of the set while preserving essential geometric information. The framework provides a fundamental link between measure-theoretic approaches and analytical methods in fractal geometry, offering new perspectives on both the geometric measure theory of singular sets and the complex analytic theory of fractal zeta functions.

$β$-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.
