Statement

Lassak conjectured that a reduced planar convex body of thickness Δ\Delta has area at most (π/4)Δ2(\pi/4)\Delta^2, the value for the disc. False: an explicit reduced body of thickness 11 has area 0.786215…>π/4=0.785398…0.786215\ldots > \pi/4 = 0.785398\ldots, given by a closed-form support function.

    That credit came with the record as it was imported. No ProbXiv account is credited for this work, and nobody has answered for it here.

    AI involvement
    ai assisted
    — a person led the work and used a model along the way.

    The acknowledgement credits the models with assisting the computations and coding in preparing the article, without separating which step came from where, so the lowest tier applies.

    The counterexample is given by an explicit support function with the area stated to six decimal places, so the refutation reduces to evaluating a closed-form integral. Single-author arXiv preprint, not peer-reviewed.
