The lower-bound conjecture for equilateral sets in normed spaces
The lower-bound conjecture for equilateral sets in normed spaces
Let be an -dimensional normed space, and let denote the maximum cardinality of an equilateral subset of . Lower-bound conjecture. If , then
This is the natural lower-bound analogue of the Euclidean simplex construction and would determine the correct universal lower bound in every finite dimension. However, for each this is open; the source notes that the best known result is the theorem of Brass and Dekster giving for an absolute constant .
