Hölder control of diameter by swept-area distance
Hölder control of diameter by swept-area distance
Let be a knot type, let be the representatives at ropelength level , and let be the swept-area pseudometric. For representatives in the same admissible component, write for the Euclidean diameter of .
Diameter variation conjecture. For each ropelength level , there should exist constants and such that
The exponent is a natural first candidate. A proof or counterexample would clarify whether diameter and compression radius can provide robust lower bounds for swept-area distance.
