The symmetric three-curve area inequality
The symmetric three-curve area inequality
Let , and let be the cylinder obtained from by identifying points differing by , with standard curve . Let be simple closed polygonal paths homologous to . Assume there do not exist such that for all and .
Symmetric area inequality conjecture. One has
This is the one-dimensional symmetric reformulation of the special case of the area inequality with one curve equal to . It is related to a combinatorial problem on non-crossing sums and remains open in the paper.
