Local stability for the truncated octahedral conjecture
Abstract
This note proves that the truncated octahedron of Archimedes is a strict local minimizer of the isoperimetric quotient among parallelohedra in three dimensions. This extends the corresponding result from the five-dimensional lattice-Voronoi subclass to the full ten-dimensional local parameter space. A six-zone parametrization and Schur's lemma reduce the Hessian to two positive definite 2× 2 matrices.
