The radial-density hypersphere conjecture in Euclidean space

Let Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} carry radial density rpr^{p}, with p>0p>0, where rr is the distance from the origin. A hypersphere through the origin is a sphere whose boundary contains the origin.

Radial-density hypersphere conjecture. In Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} with density rpr^{p}, hyperspheres through the origin are uniquely isoperimetric.

This is presented as the higher-dimensional analogue of the planar problem solved by Dahlberg and collaborators. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
