Steinhaus conditions for convex polyhedra

Metric Geometry 2015-06-09 v1

Abstract

On a convex surface SS, the antipodal map FF associates to a point pp the set of farthest points from pp, with respect to the intrinsic metric. SS is called a Steinhaus surface if FF is a single-valued involution. We prove that any convex polyhedron has an open and dense set of points pp admitting a unique antipode FpF_p, which in turn admits a unique antipode FFpF_{F_p}, distinct from pp. In particular, no convex polyhedron is Steinhaus.
