Abstract

In this first part of a larger review undertaking the results of the first author and a part of the second author doctor dissertation are presented. Next we plan to give a survey of a nowadays situation in the area of investigation. Here we report on what follows. Calculation of the partition function for any vector potts model is at first reduced to the calculation of traces of products of the generalized clifford algebra generators. The formula for such traces is derived. This enables one, in principle, to use an explicit calculation algorithm for partition functions also in other models for which the transfer matrix is an element from generalized clifford algebra. The method - simple for $Z_2$ case - becomes complicated for $Z_n$, $n>2$, however everything is controlled, in principle, due to knowledge of the corresponding algebra properties and those of generalized cosh function. The discussion of the content of the in statu nascendi second part is to be found at the end of this presentation. This constitutes the last section.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

The decrease in sectional curvature of the Fisher--Rao manifold of beta distributions

In the paper, the author develops a general convexity lemma and applies it to demonstrate the monotonic decrease of a function involving polygamma functions, arising from the sectional curvature of the Fisher--Rao manifold of beta distributions.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
