On Santaló's Problem
Abstract
This paper investigates an isoperimetric-type problem posed by L. A. Santaló, concerning convex surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space that minimize total mean curvature among all convex surfaces with fixed surface area. This problem asks for a characterization of the minimizers and for the optimal form of a Minkowski-type inequality in hyperbolic 3-space. In this work, we propose a conjectural description of the minimizers under certain regularity assumptions. We also construct a new family of convex surfaces as as potential minimizer candidates and establish a property of the singular points of any minimizer.
