Extremal great-circle distribution conjecture for six, nine, and fifteen circles
Extremal great-circle distribution conjecture for six, nine, and fifteen circles
Let be the largest radius such that every cell in a tiling of the unit sphere induced by great circles contains a spherical cap of that radius. For , let denote the inradius of the corresponding congruent Coxeter spherical triangle.
Extremal great-circle distribution conjecture.
The displayed Coxeter arrangements establish the corresponding lower bounds; the conjecture asserts their optimality. The source does not state a resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
