Asymptotics for higher moments of random polyhedral cone angles

Let m(d,k)m(d,k) denote the kk-th moment of the random solid angle associated with the model, and let dd tend to infinity while kk is fixed. For every fixed kin{2,3,}kin \{2,3,\ldots\}, the constants ckc_k are positive.

Higher-moment asymptotics. For every fixed k{2,3,}k\in \{2,3,\ldots\}, we have

m(d,k)ck2ddm(d,k) \sim \frac{c_k}{2^d\cdot d}

as dd\to\infty, where ck>0c_k>0 is a constant. In particular, c2=1c_2=1 and c3=(12π2)/8c_3=(12-\pi^2)/8, whereas m(d,1)=2dm(d,1)=2^{-d}.

This conjecture predicts the scale of all fixed higher moments in high dimension and reflects the contribution of configurations close to linear dependence. Its resolution is not indicated in the supplied text.
