Sharp diagonal Hlawka constant The sharp Hlawka inequality for Schatten p p p -norms is a cousin of the triangle inequality: it relates the norms of three matrices to the norms of their pairwise sums and their total sum. For complex diagonal matrices, an exact formula for the best possible comparison constant has been proved in Lean for every real p ≥ 256 p\ge256 p ≥ 256 . We conjecture that the same formula holds for all p ≥ 2 p\ge2 p ≥ 2 .
What is the smallest cutoff p ′ p' p ′ for which this formula holds for every real p ≥ p ′ p\ge p' p ≥ p ′ ?
