Pseudo-Finsleroid metric function of spatially anisotropic relativistic type

Abstract

The paper contributes to the important and urgent problem to extend the physical theory of space-time in a Finsler-type way under the assumption that the isotropy of space is violated by a single geometrically distinguished spatial direction which destroys the pseudo-Euclidean geometric nature of the relativistic metric and space. It proves possible to retain the fundamental geometrical property that the indicatrix should be of the constant curvature. Similar property appears to hold in the three-dimensional section space. The last property was the characteristic of three-dimensional positive-definite Finsleroid space proposed and developed in the previous work, so that the present paper lifts that space to the four-dimensional relativistic level. The respective pseudo-Finsleroid metric function is indicated. Numerous significant tensorial and geometrical consequences have been elucidated. \ses {\bf Keywords:} Finsler metrics, relativistic spaces.

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.

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.
