Glick's conjecture on the point of collapse of axis-aligned polygons
Glick's conjecture on the point of collapse of axis-aligned polygons
Let be an axis-aligned -gon. Let denote the pentagram map, and let
be its point of collapse. Let denote the center of mass of . Glick's conjecture. One has
Thus, the point of collapse is equal to the center of mass. Glick's observation arose from computer experimentation; the claim concerns the collapse described by the preceding theorem for generic axis-aligned polygons. Its resolution is not specified in the supplied text.
