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

Let AA be a compact 1\ell_1-convex subspace of 1N\ell_1^N, and let Vi(A)V'_i(A) denote its ii-th 1\ell_1-intrinsic volume. The 1\ell_1 magnitude–intrinsic-volume conjecture.

A=i=0N2iVi(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 12\ell_1^2, providing evidence for the conjecture. Its validity for all compact 1\ell_1-convex subspaces remains open.
