On solid angles and simplex shape measures

Abstract

The minimum solid angle of a simplex is shown to be a shape measure in any dimension. While this has been known in dimensions two and three, the higher-dimensional generalization is new. We prove inequalities between the minimum solid angle of a non-degenerate simplex and its fullness. Up to dimension-dependent constants, the fullness is bounded from above by the minimum solid angle and from below by the square of the minimum solid angle. The exponents are optimal for three and higher dimensions. This work therefore generalizes the minimum angle condition. We also review several simplex shape measures and their relationships.
