Abstract:In this note, we explore the nature of Lens spaces to study the first width of those spaces, more precisely, we use the existence of a sharp sweep out associated to a Clifford torus to provide a simple and pretty application of the Willmore conjecture for the computation of the [Formula: see text]-width of Lens spaces.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
