Kalai–Wilson conjecture on the largest orthogonality-free subset of the sphere
Kalai–Wilson conjecture on the largest orthogonality-free subset of the sphere
Let be a measurable subset containing no two orthogonal directions. Its measure is normalized by . Kalai–Wilson's conjecture. The maximal measure of such a subset is attained by two open caps of geodesic radius around the south and north poles. This problem was posed by Witsenhausen in 1974; the conjecture had not been solved or disproved in the source context.
