Abstract

We review a selection of the literature on the distortion of metric notions of dimension under quasiconformal, quasisymmetric, and Sobolev mappings. Our story begins with Gehring's landmark 1973 higher integrability theorem for quasiconformal maps, along with its implications for the distortion of Hausdorff dimension. Astala's 1994 solution to the planar higher integrability conjecture led to renewed interest in the subject in two dimensions. We continue with results from the 2000s and 2010s on the distortion of dimension by Sobolev maps, including estimates for dimension increase for generic elements in parameterized families of subsets. In the abstract metric setting, Pansu's notion of conformal dimension provides a key quasisymmetric invariant which has been useful in a wide range of applications. We briefly review relevant facts about conformal dimension, highlighting results of interest in the Euclidean setting. We conclude with recent work of the author in collaboration with Chrontsios Garitsis and with Fraser, extending the previous theory to interpolating dimensions and providing new insight into both quasiconformal classification and conformal dimension.

$β$-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.
