Condenser capacity and hyperbolic diameter

Abstract

Given a compact connected set $E$ in the unit disk ${\mathbb{B}}^2$, we give a new upper bound for the conformal capacity of the condenser $({\mathbb{B}}^2,E)$ in terms of the hyperbolic diameter $t$ of $E$. Moreover, for $t>0$, we construct a set of hyperbolic diameter $t$ and apply novel numerical methods to show that it has larger capacity than a hyperbolic disk with the same diameter. The set we construct is called a Reuleaux triangle in hyperbolic geometry and it has constant hyperbolic width equal to $t$.
