Pairwise acute central angles of three uniform sphere points

ID: pairwise-acute-central-angles-of-three-uniform-sphere-points

For three independent uniform points on a sphere, condition on the central angle between the first two. The third point makes acute angles with both exactly when it lies in the intersection of their positive hemispheres. That intersection is a spherical lune of opening , hence has probability . The first two points also need . Integrating against the central angle between independent uniform sphere points density gives .
