Abstract

Under a prescribed heat-regularized Gaussian source covariance, we give a quadratic-form representation of the scalar Casimir trace associated with a codimension-three Riesz reduction. For a product operator $L_M=L_B-\Delta_\perp$, with $L_B$ positive self-adjoint and bounded below, transverse reduction of the ambient Riesz operator $L_M^{-s}$ produces the brane multiplier $L_B^{m/2-s}$, up to an explicit Gamma-function constant. The exponent $s=1+m/2$ is therefore the critical Riesz exponent for obtaining the ordinary brane Green operator $L_B^{-1}$; in codimension three this gives $s=5/2$. Using this induced Green kernel, we prescribe a Gaussian generalized scalar source with covariance proportional to $L_B^{3/2}e^{-\tau L_B}$. The expectation of its quadratic Green-kernel energy is then exactly the heat-regularized scalar Casimir trace \[ \frac{\hbar c}{2} \operatorname{Tr}\!\left(L_B^{1/2}e^{-\tau L_B}\right). \] With the same finite-part prescription, the identity specializes in the Dirichlet parallel-plate geometry to the standard scalar finite part. We also record a deterministic flat Green-energy calibration at the plate scale. Within the plate-compatible rectangular aspect-ratio family, the cubical cell is selected by spectral, heat-trace, and Green-energy extremal criteria, and the associated comparison coefficient is the corresponding extremal calibration value. The construction is a scalar spectral representation theorem; no electromagnetic, gravitational, brane-dynamical, or fundamental-constant identification is asserted.

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.
