Rigidity conjecture for optimal paper Möbius bands
Rigidity conjecture for optimal paper Möbius bands
Let a paper Möbius band be a smooth isometric embedding of the flat Möbius band in , and consider a sequence of smooth embedded paper Möbius bands whose aspect ratios converge to . Rigidity conjecture. The sequence converges, in the Hausdorff metric and up to isometries, to an equilateral triangle of semi-perimeter . This is the rigidity statement accompanying the optimality conjecture in the source; no resolution is supplied, so it remains open.
