fa.functional analysis - L_p norm balls for 12?

The L_1 ball in 2D is shaped like a diamond (L_1 is also known as the Manhattan norm). The L_∞ ball is shaped like a square (L_∞ is also known as the supremum norm). They are similar, i.e. have same shape. The L2 ball is shaped like a circle.



Hypothesis: For all p in the interval (1,2), there is q>2 such that the q-ball and the p-ball are similar. One further hypothesis is that this occurs precisely when p,q are Hölder conjugates.



I wasn't sure how to tag this.
