The p-widths of a polygon

Differential Geometry 2025-05-07 v1

Abstract

The pp-widths are a nonlinear analogue of the spectrum of the Laplacian. We prove that each pp-width of a polygon in R2\mathbb{R}^2 is achieved by a union of billiard trajectories. We also compute the pp-widths of the equilateral triangle for p=1,,4p=1,\dots,4 and square for p=1,,3p=1,\dots,3.
