To the best of our knowledge, $U_3$ was not previously constructed, and its volume is smaller than the volume of other three-dimensional bodies of constant width with tetrahedral symmetries. While the volume of $U_3$ is slightly larger than the volume of Meissner's bodies of width $2$, it exceeds the latter by less than $0.137\\%$. For all large $n$, the volume of $U_n$ is smaller than the volume of the ball of radius $0.891$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-06-26T15:21:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "52A20", "52A15", "52A23", "52A40", "28A75", "49Q20" ], "keywords": [ "constant width", "small volume bodies", "tetrahedral symmetries", "reuleaux triangle", "three-dimensional bodies" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
