Schäffer's girth duality conjecture for normed spaces
Schäffer's girth duality conjecture for normed spaces
Let be a finite-dimensional normed space, with unit sphere consisting of the points of norm one, and let be its dual normed space. The girth of is the infimum of the lengths of all closed, rectifiable, centrally symmetric curves on its unit sphere.
Schäffer's girth duality conjecture. The girth of equals the girth of .
The conjecture concerns the systolic geometry of the projectivized unit sphere and its invariance under duality. The paper's abstract says that symplectic and Finsler geometry settle it, so the conjecture is solved in this source.
