Linear isoperimetric filling inequalities in Hadamard spaces at and above the asymptotic rank

Abstract

Reformulated in terms of the asymptotic rank, a conjecture by Gromov predicts a linear isoperimetric filling inequality in all dimensions greater than or equal to the asymptotic rank of a Hadamard space, in contrast to the Euclidean-type nonlinear behavior below this threshold. We prove the predicted linear inequality for Hadamard spaces with finite asymptotic Nagata dimension and finite asymptotic rank. More precisely, every integral cycle of dimension at or above the asymptotic rank admits a filling whose mass is bounded linearly in the mass of the cycle. Our proof is based on a new self-improvement mechanism for Wenger's sub-Euclidean growth theorem. This approach upgrades the asymptotic rank-one result by Wenger and the recent asymptotic rank-two result by Lang, Stadler, and Urech from exponents arbitrarily close to one to the optimal linear exponent. Moreover, the result extends to arbitrary finite asymptotic ranks.

$β$-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.
