Abstract

The notion of a capped tensor product, introduced by G. Grätzer and the author, provides a convenient framework for the study of tensor products of lattices that makes it possible to extend many results from the finite case to the infinite case. In this paper, we answer several open questions about tensor products of lattices. Among the results that we obtain are the following. Theorem 2. Let A be a lattice with zero. If $A \otimes L$ is a lattice for every lattice L with zero, then A is locally finite and $A \otimes L$ is a capped tensor product for every lattice L with zero. Theorem 5. There exists an infinite, three-generated, 2-modular lattice K with zero such that $K \otimes K$ is a capped tensor product. Here, 2-modularity is a weaker identity than modularity, introduced earlier by G. Grätzer and the author.

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.
