Abstract

Identical relations occur in various branches of mathematics and mathematical physics. The Cauchy-Riemann relations, characteristical and canonical relations, the Bianchi identities and others are examples of identical relations. It can be shown that all these relations express either the conditions of closure of exterior (skew-symmetric) differential forms and corresponding dual forms or the properties of closed exterior forms. Since the closed differential forms are invariant under all transformations, which conserve the differential (these are gauge transformations: unitary, canonical, gradient and others), from this it follows that identical relations are a mathematical representation of relevant invariant and covariant objects. The theory of exterior differential forms cannot answer the question of how do invariant objects appear and what does these objects generate? The answer to this question can be obtained using the skew-symmetric differential forms, which possess the evolutionary properties. The mathematical apparatus of such evolutionary forms contains nonidentical relations, from which the identical relations corresponding to invariant objects are obtained with the help of degenerate transformations. Due to such potentialities, the mathematical apparatus of skew-symmetrical differential forms enables one to describe discrete transitions, evolutionary processes and generation of various structures.

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.
