Convexity conjecture for illumination bodies in nonpositive-curvature space forms
Convexity conjecture for illumination bodies in nonpositive-curvature space forms
Let , let , and let be a convex body. Illumination-body convexity conjecture. For every , the illumination body satisfies
The claim extends the proven two-dimensional hyperbolic result to higher-dimensional space forms of nonpositive curvature. In Euclidean space illumination bodies are convex, while the paper notes that convexity can fail in positive curvature; the higher-dimensional nonpositive-curvature case remains open.
