Directional isoperimetric conjecture for cycles in Euclidean space
Directional isoperimetric conjecture for cycles in Euclidean space
Let be a closed -cycle in . For an -tuple of distinct coordinate indices, let be the coordinate -plane spanned by the corresponding axes, and let denote the geometric-multiplicity volume of the projection of an -chain to . Suppose that bounds a -chain with .
Directional isoperimetric conjecture. There is such a -chain for which, for every -tuple ,
This would generalize the Loomis–Whitney directional estimate and refine the Federer–Fleming isoperimetric inequality by controlling each directional volume of a filling in terms of the directional volumes of the boundary cycle. The source presents this as a natural conjecture; no resolution is supplied in the given text.
