Symmetric-orbit convex-hull conjecture for truncated tetrahedra
Symmetric-orbit convex-hull conjecture for truncated tetrahedra
Let be the space of marked truncated tetrahedra, let record their dihedral angles, and let the symmetric group act by permuting the four removed vertices. For , write for the corresponding symmetric image. Let and let be non-regular. Define as the convex hull of
Symmetric-orbit convex-hull conjecture. The intersection
is non-empty. Thus the convex hull, with respect to dihedral angles, of the symmetric images of any non-regular contains another point of besides its orbit points. The source presents this as a related open conjecture, motivated by symmetry and convexity methods for proving the regular tetrahedron's volume-maximizing property.
