The law of sine of triangle ($\triangle ABC$) in the Euclidean plane is well known as follows
where $S=\sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)}$, $p=\frac{1}{2}(a+b+c)$.
Let $a,b,c$ be the edge-lengths of a triangle $ABC$ in the hyperbolic space with curvature $-1$. Then we have the law of sine of hyperbolic triangle $ABC$ as follows (see [1])
where $\Delta=\sqrt{\sinh p(\sinh p-\sinh a)(\sinh p-\sinh b)(\sinh p-\sinh c)}$, $p=\frac{1}{2}(a+b+c)$.
We denote by $a, b, c$ the edge-lengths of a triangle $ABC$ in the spherical space with curvature $1$. Then we have the law of sine of spherical triangle $ABC$ as follows (see [2])
where $\Delta=\sqrt{\sin p(\sin p-\sin a)(\sin p-\sin b)(\sin p-\sin c)}$, $p=\frac{1}{2}(a+b+c)\in(0,\pi)$.
The law of sine of triangle in Euclidean plane were generalized to the $n$-dimensional simplex in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space $E^n$. Let $\{A_{0},A_{1},\cdots, A_{n}\}$ be the vertex sets of $n$-dimensional simplex $\Omega_{n}(E)$ in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean $E^n$. Denote by $V$ the volume of the simplex $\Omega_{n}(E)$, and $F_{i}$ $(i=0,1,\cdots,n)$ the areas of $i$-th face $f_{i}=\{A_{0},$ $A_{1},$ $\cdots,$ $ A_{i-1},$ $A_{i+1},$ $ \cdots, $ $A_{n}\}$ ($(n-1)$-dimensional simplex) of the simplex $\Omega_{n}(E)$. In 1968, Bators defined the $n$-dimensional sines of the $n$-dimensional vertex angles $\alpha_{i}$ $(i=0,1,\cdots,n)$ for the $n$-dimensional simplex $\Omega_{n}(E)$, and established the law of sines for $\Omega_{n}(E)$ as follows (see [3])
Obviously, formula $(1.4)$ is generalization of formula $(1.1)$ in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space $E^n$. Then, some different forms of generalization about formula $(1.1)$ was given in [4, 5, 6].
From 1970s, many geometry researchers were attempted to generalize formulas $(1.2)$ and $(1.3)$ to an $n$-dimensional hyperbolic simplex (spherical simplex), to establish the law of sines in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^n$ and in $n$-dimensional spherical space $S^n$. In 1978, Erikson defined the $n$-dimensional polar sine of $i$-th face $f_{i}(P_{i}\notin f_{i})$ of $\Omega_{n}(S)$ in $S_{n,1}$ (see [7]) as follows
Let $^{n}\sin P_{i}$ be the $n$-dimensional sine of the $i$-th angle of $\Omega_{n}(S)$ (see [7]). The law of sines in the $n$-dimensional spherical space $S_{n,1}$ was obtained in [7] as follows
In 1980s, Yang and Zhang (see [8, 9, 10]) made a large number of basic works of geometric inequality in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^n$ and in $n$-dimensional spherical space $S^n$, and established the law of cosines in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^n$ and $n$-dimensional spherical space $S^n$. But they did not establish the law of sines in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^n$ and $n$-dimensional spherical space $S^n$. In addition, some new geometric inequality about "metric addition" involving volume and $n$-dimensional space angle of simplex in $H^{n}(K)$ and $S^{n}(K)$ is established.
In this paper, we give generalizations of $(1.2)$ and $(1.3)$ in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^n$ and in $n$-dimensional spherical space $S^n$, and establish the law of sines $n$-dimensional simplex in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^n$ and $n$-dimensional spherical space $S^n$. As their applications, we obtain Veljan-Korchmaros type inequalities and Hadamard type inequalities in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^{n}$ and $n$-dimensional spherical space $S^{n}$.
We consider the model of the hyperbolic space in Euclidean space (see [9]).
Let $B$ be a set whose elements $x(x_{1},x_{2},\cdots,x_{n})$ are in an $n$-dimensional vector space and meet the following condition $x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}+\cdots+x_{n}^{2}<1$. Given a distance between $x$ and $y$ in the set $B$, denote by $xy$ satisfying
Then the metric space with this distance in $R^{n+1}$ is called $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space with curvature $K (<0)$, denote by $H^{n}(K)$.
Let $\Sigma_{n}(H)$ be an $n$-dimensional simplex in the $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^{n}(K)$, and $\{P_{0},P_{1},\cdots,P_{n}\}$ be its vertexes, $a_{ij}$ $(0\leqslant i,j\leqslant n)$ be its edge-length, $V$ be its volume, respectively.
To give the law of sines in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^{n}(K)$, we give the following definition.
Definition 2.1 Suppose that $\Sigma_{n}(H)=\{P_{0},P_{1},\cdots,P_{n}\}$ be an $n$-dimensional simplex in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^{n}(K)$. $n$ edges $P_{0}P_{i}$ $(i=1,2,\cdots,n)$ with initial point $P_{0}$ form an $n$-dimensional space angle $P_{0}$ of the simplex $\Sigma_{n}(H)$. Let $\widehat{i,j}$ be the angle formed by two edges $P_{0}P_{i}$ and $P_{0}P_{j}$. The sine of the $n$-dimensional space angle $P_{0}$ of the simplex $\Sigma_{n}(H)$ is defined as follows
where
Similarly, we can define the sine of the $n$-dimensional space angle $P_{i}$ $(i=1,2,\cdots,n)$ of the simplex $\Sigma_{n}(H)$.
At first, we prove that this definition is sensible.
Actually, for $n$-ray $P_{0}P_{i}$ $(i=1,2,\cdots,n)$ of the simplex $\Sigma_{n}(H)$ in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^{n}(K)$, and denote by $\widehat{i,j}$ $(i,j=1,2,\cdots,n)$ the included angle between two rays $P_{0}P_{i}$ and $P_{0}P_{j}$. According to [12], we know that there exist $n$-ray $P'_{0}P'_{i}$ $(i=1,2,\cdots,n)$ which are independence in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space $E^{n}$, such that the included angle between two rays $P'_{0}P'_{i}$ and $P'_{0}P'_{j}$ is also $\widehat{i,j}$ $(i,j=1,2,\cdots,n)$. Assume that $\overrightarrow{\alpha_{i}}$ $(i=1,2,\cdots,n)$ denote the unit vector of the vector $\overrightarrow{P'_{0}P'_{i}}$ $(i,j=1,2,\cdots,n)$, then the unit vectors $\alpha_{1},\alpha_{2},\cdots,\alpha_{n}$ are also independence. So the Gram matrix $Q_{0}$ of the unit vectors $\alpha_{1},\alpha_{2},\cdots,\alpha_{n}$ is positive and it is easy to know that $0<\det Q_{0}\leqslant 1$. Therefore, this definition is sensible.
Remark Especially two-dimensional space angle of two-dimensional hyperbolic simplex (that is hyperbolic triangle) is just interior angle of hyperbolic triangle. So the $n$-dimensional space angle of $n$-dimensional simplex in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^{n}(K)$ is extension of interior angle of hyperbolic triangle.
Definition 2.2 (see [12]) Suppose that $\Sigma_{n}(H)=\{P_{0},P_{1},\cdots,P_{n}\}$ be an $n$-dimensional simplex in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^{n}(K)$, its volume $V$ is the real number satisfying
where $\Lambda_{n}(H)=(\cosh\sqrt{-K}a_{ij})_{i,j=0}^{n}$.
Theorem 2.1 Suppose that $\Sigma_{n}(H)=\{P_{0},P_{1},\cdots,P_{n}\}$ be an $n$-dimensional simplex in the $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^{n}(K)$, we have
where definitions of $\sin P_{i}(i=0,1,\cdots)$ are the same as Definition $2.1$.
Remark When $n=2$ in Theorem $2.1$, it is the law of sine of a hyperbolic triangle.
Lemma 2.2 (see [1]) (the law of cosine of a hyperbolic triangle) For hyperbolic triangle $ABC$ in $H^{2}(-1)$, then
where $a,b,c$ be edge-lengths of hyperbolic triangle $ABC$ and $A$ be the interior angle.
Lemma 2.3 Suppose that $\Sigma_{n}(H)=\{P_{0},P_{1},\cdots,P_{n}\}$ be an $n$-dimensional simplex in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^{n}(K)$, we have
where $\widehat{i,j}$ $(i,j=1,2,\cdots, n)$ be the included angle between the edges $P_{0}P_{i}$ and $P_{0}P_{j}$.
Proof Assume that the row or the column number of determinant $\det(\Lambda_{n}(H))$ begins from $0$. Now, we transform the determinant $\det(\Lambda_{n}(H))$ as follows:
(1) for $i=1,2,\cdots,n$, plus $(-\cosh\sqrt{-K}a_{0i})$ times the $0$-th row to the $i$-th row;
(2) expanding the determinant at the $0$-th column;
(3) for $i=1,2,\cdots,n$, $\frac{1}{(\sinh\sqrt{-K}a_{0i})}$ times the $i$-th row and $\frac{1}{(\sinh\sqrt{-K}a_{0i})}$ times the $i$-th column.
By $(2.3)$, we have
Substituting $(2.6)$ into above equality, we get $(2.5)$.
Proof of Theorem 2.1 According to Definition $2.1$, equality $(2.5)$ may be written as
Now we only prove that
Applying $(2.7)$, we get
From above equality, we obtain $(2.8)$.
Similarly, we can prove that other equalities in $(2.3)$ also hold. The proof of Theorem $2.1$ is completed.
We consider the model of a spherical space in the Euclidean space (see [6]): the distance $xy$ between two points $x$ and $y$ in the points set $S=\{x(x_{1},x_{2},\cdots,x_{n+1}):x^{2}_{1}+x^{2}_{2}+\cdots+x^{2}_{n+1}=\frac{1}{K},K>0 \text{is constant number}\}$ in the $n+1$-dimensional Euclidean space $E^{n+1}$ is the minimal non-negative real number satisfying
The metric space with this distance in the point set $S$ is called $n$-dimensional spherical space with curvature $K>0$, and denote by $S_{n}(K)$.
Let $\Omega_{n}(S)$ be an $n$-dimensional simplex in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $S^{n}(K)$, and $\{A_{0},A_{1},\cdots,A_{n}\}$ be its vertexes, $a_{ij}$ $(0\leqslant i,j\leqslant n)$ be its edge-length, $V$ be its volume.
To give the law of sines in $n$-dimensional spherical space $S^{n}(K)$, we give the following definition.
Definition 3.1 Suppose that $\Omega_{n}(S)=\{A_{0},A_{1},\cdots,A_{n}\}$ be an $n$-dimensional simplex in $n$-dimensional spherical space $S^{n}(K)$, $n$ edges $A_{0}A_{i}$ $(i=1,2,\cdots,n)$ with initial point $A_{0}$ form an $n$-dimensional space angle $A_{0}$ of the simplex $\Omega_{n}(A)$. Denote by $\widehat{i,j}$ be the included angle between two edges $A_{0}A_{i}$ and $A_{0}A_{j}$. The sine of the $n$-dimensional space angle $A_{0}$ of the simplex $\Omega_{n}(S)$ is defined as follows
Similarly, we can define the sine of the $n$-dimensional space angle $A_{i}$ $(i=1,2,\cdots,n)$ of the simplex $\Omega_{n}(S)$.
Actually, $\widehat{i,j}$ be the included angle between unit tangent vector $\vec{e_{i}}$ and $\vec{e_{j}}$ at point $A_{0}$ of two arcs $\overset\frown{A_{0}A_{i}}$ and $\overset\frown{A_{0}A_{j}}$. Because the unit tangent vectors $\vec{e_{1}},\vec{e_{2}},\cdots,\vec{e_{n}}$ are independence, the Gram matrix $B_{0}$ of the unit vectors $\vec{e_{1}},\vec{e_{2}},\cdots,\vec{e_{n}}$ is positive, and it is easy to know that $0<\det B_{0}\leqslant 1$. Therefore, this definition is sensible.
Remark Especially two-dimensional space angle of two-dimensional spherical simplex (that is spherical triangle) is just interior angle of spherical triangle. So the $n$-dimensional space angle of $n$-dimensional simplex in $n$-dimensional spherical space $H^{n}(K)$ is extension of interior angle of spherical triangle.
Definition 3.2 (see [11]) Suppose that $\Omega_{n}(S)=\{A_{0},A_{1},\cdots,A_{n}\}$ be an $n$-dimensional simplex in $n$-dimensional spherical space $S^{n}(K)$, its volume $V$ is the minimal non-negative real number satisfying
where $\Lambda_{n}(S)=(\cos\sqrt{K}a_{ij})_{i,j=0}^{n}$.
Theorem 3.1 Suppose that $\Omega_{n}(S)=\{A_{0},A_{1},\cdots,A_{n}\}$ be an $n$-dimensional simplex in $n$-dimensional spherical space $S^{n}(K)$, we have
where definitions of $\sin A_{i}(i=0,1,\cdots)$ are the same as Definition $3.1$.
Remark When $n=2$ in Theorem $3.1$, it is the law of sine of a spherical triangle.
Lemma 3.2 (see [2]) (the law of cosine of a spherical triangle) For spherical triangle $ABC$ in $S^{2}(1)$, then
where $a,b,c$ be edge-lengths of spherical triangle $ABC$ and $A$ be interior angle.
Lemma 3.3 Suppose that $\Omega_{n}(S)=\{A_{0},A_{1},\cdots,A_{n}\}$ be an $n$-dimensional simplex in $n$-dimensional spherical space $S^{n}(K)$, we have
Proof Assume that the row or the column number of determinant $\det(\Lambda_{n}(S))$ begins from $0$. Now, we transform the determinant $\det(\Lambda_{n}(S))$ as follows:
(1) for $i=1,2,\cdots,n$, plus $(-\cos\sqrt{K}a_{0i})$ times the $0$-th row to the $i$-th row;
(3) for $i=1,2,\cdots,n$, $\frac{1}{(\sin\sqrt{K}a_{0i})}$ times the $i$-th row and $\frac{1}{(\sin\sqrt{K}a_{0i})}$ times the $i$-th column.
By$(3.3)$ we have
Substituting $(3.7)$ into above equality, we get $(3.6)$.
Proof of Theorem 3.1 According to Definition $3.1$, equality $(3.6)$ may be written as
Applying $(3.8)$, we get
From above equality, we obtain $(3.9)$.
Similarly, we can prove that other equalities in $(3.4)$ also hold. The proof of Theorem $3.1$ is completed.
On basis of Section $2$ and Section $3$, we are easy to establish Veljan-Korchmaros type inequalities and Hadamard type inequalities in the $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^{n}(K)$ and the $n$-dimensional spherical space $S^{n}(K)$. In addition, some new geometric inequality about "metric addition" [11, 14] involving Volume and $n$-dimensional angle of simplex in $H^{n}(K)$ and $S^{n}(K)$ is established.
Theorem 4.1 Suppose that $\Sigma_{n}(H)=\{P_{0},P_{1},\cdots,P_{n}\}$ be an $n$-dimensional simplex in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^{n}(K)$, we have
Proof Because $\sin P_{i}\leqslant 1$ in $(2.3)$, we have
Multiplying by above those inequalities for $j=0,1,\cdots,n$, we get $(4.1)$.
Theorem 4.2 Suppose that $\Omega_{n}(S)=\{A_{0},A_{1},\cdots,A_{n}\}$ be an $n$-dimensional simplex in $n$-dimensional spherical space $S^{n}(K)$, we have
Proof Because $\sin A_{i}\leqslant 1$ in $(3.3)$, we have
Multiplying by above those inequalities for $j=0,1,\cdots,n$, we get $(4.3)$.
Since $\sin P_{0}\leqslant 1$ in $(2.7)$ and $\sin A_{0}\leqslant 1$ in $(3.7)$, thus we obtain Hadamard type inequalities in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^{n}(K)$ and $n$-dimensional spherical space $S^{n}(K)$ as follows:
Theorem 4.3 Suppose that $\Sigma_{n}(H)=\{P_{0},P_{1},\cdots,P_{n}\}$ be an $n$-dimensional simplex in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^{n}(K)$, we have
Theorem 4.4 Suppose that $\Omega_{n}(S)=\{A_{0},A_{1},\cdots,A_{n}\}$ be an $n$-dimensional simplex in $n$-dimensional spherical space $S^{n}(K)$, we have
Theorem 4.5 Let $\Sigma''_{n}(H)$ be $n$-dimensional metric addition simplex which is formed two $n$-dimensional simplexes $\Sigma_{n}(H)$ and $\Sigma'_{n}(H)$ by "metric addition" operation in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^{n}(K)$, we have
Equality obtain if and only if the simplex $\Sigma_{n}(H)$ and $\Sigma'_{n}(H)$ is regular.
Theorem 4.6 Let $\Omega''_{n}(S)$ be $n$-dimensional metric addition simplex which is formed two $n$-dimensional simplexes $\Omega_{n}(S)$ and $\Omega'_{n}(S)$ by "metric addition" operation in $n$-dimensional spherical space $S^{n}(K)$, we have
Equality obtain if and only if the simplex $\Omega_{n}(S)$ and $\Omega'_{n}(S)$ is regular.
Lemma 4.7 (see [15]) Let $a_{k},b_{k}\ge 0$, then
The Proof of Theorem $4.5$ According to the definition of "metric addition" [11] in $H^{n}(K)$, we have $\sinh\sqrt{-K} a''_{0i}=\sinh\sqrt{-K}a_{0i}+\sinh\sqrt{-K}a_{0i}(\text{for} i=1,2,\cdots,n).$ Thus
$\frac{1}{n}$-th power on the both sides, we get
By $(4.9)$ and $(4.10)$, we have
By $(2.3)$, we obtain
Similarly, inequality $(4.7)$ is easy proved for $i=1,2,\cdots,n$.
The proof of Theorem $4.6$ is the same as the proof of Theorem $4.5$.
