Abstract

Constrained particle trajectories along lower-dimensional world sheets constitute a foundational domain in relativistic kinematics and submanifold theory. This paper establishes a comprehensive geometric and kinematic framework for third-order particle dynamics constrained to timelike surfaces in Minkowski 3-space. By utilising the localised Darboux frame, we explicitly derive the relativistically invariant parameters, namely the geodesic curvature, normal curvature, and geodesic torsion and analyse the non-linear coupling between the intrinsic surface topology and the extrinsic spacetime geometry. Primary focus is dedicated to formulating the relativistic "jerk" vector, which accounts for the instantaneous time rate of change of acceleration and captures the high-order structural stresses of the motion. Furthermore, we generalise Siacci's theorem to this Lorentzian setting, providing a non-perpendicular geometric decomposition of both the acceleration and jerk fields into explicit tangential and radial components relative to a fixed coordinate origin. Our formulations explicitly unveil the hidden central-force dynamics and dimensional compactification mechanisms under planar constraints, showing that out-of-plane torsional shocks vanish identically when the modified geodesic torsion is suppressed. These results offer novel analytical insights for structural stability and conserved angular momentum-like quantities governing constrained physical systems in non-Euclidean spacetimes.

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.
