Abstract: It is shown that every measurable partition $A_1,\mathrm{...},A_k$ of $mathbb{R}^3$ satisfies ${\displaystyle }$sum_{i=1}^k||int_{A_i} xe^{-frac12||x||_2^2}dx||_2^2le 9pi^2.qquad(*)${\displaystyle }$ Let $P_1,P_2,P_3$ be the partition of $mathbb{R}^2$ into $120^{c}irc$ sectors centered at the origin. The bound is sharp, with equality holding if $A_i=P_{i}imesmathbbR$ for $iin1,2,3$ and $A_i=emptyset$ for $iin4,\mathrm{...},k$ (up to measure zero corrections, orthogonal transformations and renumbering of the sets $A_1,\mathrm{...},A_k$). This settles positively the 3-dimensional Propeller Conjecture of Khot and Naor (FOCS 2008). The proof of reduces the problem to a finite set of numerical inequalities which are then verified with full rigor in a computer-assisted fashion. The main consequence (and motivation) of $(*)$ is complexity-theoretic: the Unique Games hardness threshold of the Kernel Clustering problem with $4imes4$ centered and spherical hypothesis matrix equals $frac2pi3$.
