| Apr 14, 2010 at 9:09 | comment | added | Gjergji Zaimi | Another idea would be to consider the process where we replace all points with the midpoints of the arcs between them. If one can prove that such a process increases the value of the product of the pairwise distances then the result follows, because the points converge to respective equidistributions. (This is how I visualize the proof for the circle case) | |
