Petty's conjecture on equilateral sets in normed spaces
Petty's conjecture on equilateral sets in normed spaces
Let be a normed space of dimension . A set is equilateral if there is a constant such that for all distinct , and let denote the largest cardinality of an equilateral set in .
Petty's conjecture. For all normed spaces of dimension ,
The conjecture gives a general lower bound for equilateral sets in finite-dimensional normed spaces. It is known in dimension at most four, while for it remains open except for some special classes of norms.
