Common-Center Geometry and Certified Radial Reconstruction for Energy-Form Full Conformal Regions

The paper investigates the geometry of full conformal prediction (FullCP) regions produced by an empirical energy‑form pairwise score. It shows that convexity of the candidate score alone does not ensure connected FullCP regions, and establishes conditions under which comparison regions share a common minimizer, making the exact conformal region star‑shaped. For power distances with exponent β≥1 the geometry is deterministic, and for β between 1 and 2 explicit Lipschitz bounds allow certified inner and outer radial envelopes with Hausdorff guarantees.
