Sharp inclusion conjecture for triangular ratio and hyperbolic metric balls

About 4 years old · traced to

Let G=BnG=\mathbb{B}^n, and let Bs(x,t)B_s(x,t) and Bρ(x,R)B_\rho(x,R) denote the balls of radii tt and RR centered at xx in the triangular ratio metric and the hyperbolic metric, respectively. For 0<t<10<t<1, define

l(t,∣x∣)=max⁡{(1+t)(1+∣x∣)(1−3t+∣x∣(1+t)),(1−t)(1−∣x∣)(1+3t−∣x∣(1−t))}.l(t,|x|)=\max\left\{(1+t)(1+|x|)(1-3t+|x|(1+t)),\\ (1-t)(1-|x|)(1+3t-|x|(1-t))\right\}.

Sharp inclusion conjecture. For x∈Gx\in G and R>0R>0, Bs(x,t0)⊆Bρ(x,R)⊆Bs(x,t1)B_s(x,t_0)\subseteq B_\rho(x,R)\subseteq B_s(x,t_1) if and only if

0<t0≤th⁡(R/2)(1−∣x∣2)2(1−∣x∣th⁡(R/2))−∣2∣x∣−th⁡(R/2)(1+∣x∣2)∣0<t_0\leq\frac{\operatorname{th}(R/2)(1-|x|^2)}{2(1-|x|\operatorname{th}(R/2))-|2|x|-\operatorname{th}(R/2)(1+|x|^2)|}

and

t1≥(1+∣x∣)(eR−1)3+eR+∣x∣(eR−1).t_1\geq\frac{(1+|x|)(e^R-1)}{3+e^R+|x|(e^R-1)}.

Moreover, for x∈Gx\in G and 0<t<10<t<1, Bρ(x,R0)⊆Bs(x,t)⊆Bρ(x,R1)B_\rho(x,R_0)\subseteq B_s(x,t)\subseteq B_\rho(x,R_1) if and only if

0<R0≤log⁡(1+4t(1−t)(1+∣x∣))0<R_0\leq\log\left(1+\frac{4t}{(1-t)(1+|x|)}\right)

and

R1≥2arsh⁡(2tl(t,∣x∣)).R_1\geq 2\operatorname{arsh}\left(\frac{2t}{\sqrt{l(t,|x|)}}\right).

The conjecture concerns sharp radii for mutual inclusions between triangular ratio metric balls and hyperbolic metric balls in the unit ball. The preceding results establish related one-sided bounds, and computer tests suggest that these exact bounds hold; proving the remaining inclusions would settle the conjecture.
