Magnitude's conjecture for intrinsic volumes of compact ℓ₁-convex sets

About 16 years old · traced to

Let AA be a compact ℓ1\ell_1-convex subspace of ℓ1N\ell_1^N, and let Vi′(A)V'_i(A) denote its ii-th ℓ1\ell_1-intrinsic volume. The ℓ1\ell_1 magnitude–intrinsic-volume conjecture.

∣A∣=∑i=0N2−iVi′(A).|A|=\sum_{i=0}^N2^{-i}V'_i(A).

The formula is established in the paper for cuboids, finite unions of suitable cuboids, and compact convex polygons in ℓ12\ell_1^2, providing evidence for the conjecture. Its validity for all compact ℓ1\ell_1-convex subspaces remains open.
