Tightness of geodesic deviation in the hyperbolic Poisson–Voronoi graph

About 12 years old · traced to

Let Vλ\mathscr{V}^\lambda be the hyperbolic Poisson–Voronoi graph. For r>0r>0, consider a geodesic in Vλ\mathscr{V}^\lambda connecting the Voronoi cells containing −r-r and rr, and let DrD_r be the graph distance from this geodesic to the cell containing 00. Geodesic-deviation conjecture. The family of random variables (Dr)r>0(D_r)_{r>0} is tight. This asks whether long graph geodesics between opposite points of the hyperbolic plane remain within a tight random distance of the cell containing the origin; it is presented as an open qualitative question about how geodesics in the tessellation compare with hyperbolic geodesics.

Progress summary

Open

No public source reports progress on whether long hyperbolic Poisson–Voronoi geodesics stay within a bounded random distance of the central cell.

The conjecture asks whether geodesics joining opposite points in the hyperbolic Poisson–Voronoi graph remain close to the cell containing the origin, uniformly as the endpoints recede. No public discussion or published result addressing this conjecture was found.

Current status (as of August 2026): The conjecture remains open, with no recorded progress or resolution.
