Strong asymptotic magnitude conjecture for all compact Euclidean subsets
Strong asymptotic magnitude conjecture for all compact Euclidean subsets
Let be the class of all compact subsets of , for any . Let denote magnitude when it is defined, and let be the th intrinsic volume; write for the volume of the unit -ball.
Strong magnitude conjecture. There are unique functions such that:
- the magnitude is defined for every and
- satisfies the inclusion-exclusion principle;
- if is polyconvex, then
- for every ,
- if is convex, then .
This stronger form seeks a decomposition of magnitude for every compact Euclidean subset, with the principal term governed by inclusion-exclusion and intrinsic volumes and the error term vanishing under dilation. The source does not state a resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
