No label defined (Q4945494)

The author introduces some geometrically defined classes of sets on the two-dimensional unit sphere \(S^2\) and gives interesting examples illustrating the differences between the classes. He also announces the following two observations. Proposition. Let \(D\) be a complete set in \(S^2\) of diameter \(<\pi/2\). Then \(D\) is of constant width. Intersection Lemma. Let \(M\subset S^2\) have diameter \(\Delta<\pi\). Let \(p_1,q_1,p_2,q_2\in M\) and let the segments \(p_1q_1\) and \(p_2q_2\) have length \(\Delta\). a) If \(\Delta<\pi/2\), then \(p_1q_1\cap p_2q_2\neq\emptyset\). b) If \(p_1q_1\cup p_2q_2\subset M\), then \(p_1q_1\cap p_2q_2\neq\emptyset\).
