Abstract

Addition theorems have been indispensable tools for the reduction of quantum transition amplitudes. They are normally utilized at the start of the process to move the angular dependence within plane waves and Coulomb potentials, and the like, into a sum over Spherical Harmonics that allows the angular integration to be carried out. These have historically been ``two-range'' addition theorems, characterized by the two-fold notation $r_{>}=Max[r_{1},r_{2}]$ and $r_{<}=Min[r_{1},r_{2}]$ and comprising a single infinite series. More recently, ``one-range'' addition theorems have been created that have no such piecewise notation, but at the cost of a second infinite series. We use a very different approach to derive an infinite set of addition theorems for Slater orbitals and its derivatives that retain the one-range variable dependence but have, at worst, a finite second series rather than an infinite one. Also unlike previous addition theorems, they are applicable to more than one coordinate system. One of these addition theorem may also be used for Yukawa-like functions that may appear late in the reduction of amplitude integrals and we show its utility for an integral that has stubbornly defied reduction to analytic form for nearly sixty years.

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.
