Invariant-center integrals conjecture for polygon maps and vector fields
Invariant-center integrals conjecture for polygon maps and vector fields
Let be the maps on planar polygon spaces and let be the vector field. The polygons evolving under these maps and under the flow of appear to move around invariant centers. Invariant-center integrals conjecture. For every , the maps and the vector field possess two additional integrals, independent of , whose values are the coordinates of these centers. The conjecture is motivated by numerical figures suggesting bounded motion around invariant centers; no proof or resolution is given.
