Positive Casimir energy conjecture for the (2,3,7)-triangle group orbifold

About 3 years old · traced to

Let Δ(2,3,7)\Delta(2,3,7) be the (2,3,7)(2,3,7)-triangle group acting on the hyperbolic plane H\mathbb{H}, and let ℓn\ell_n denote the lengths of the relevant closed geodesics, subject to the assumption

the equality specified by \text{the equality specified by }

for those lengths. Positive Casimir energy conjecture. Under this assumption, the Casimir energy of the orbifold Δ(2,3,7)∖H\Delta(2,3,7) \setminus \mathbb{H} is greater than or equal to 0.010.01. The claim would establish positive Casimir energy, and hence a repulsive Casimir force, for this hyperbolic orbifold with conical singularities; the supplied text does not state whether the claim has been proved or disproved.
