The conjecture that the planar rounding scheme suffices

Let fη:R2{1,1}f_\eta:\mathbb R^2\to\{-1,1\} be the family of measurable functions defined in the paper, and let c(f,g)c(f,g) denote the associated Krivine rounding constant. The planar rounding-scheme conjecture. For sufficiently small η(0,1)\eta\in(0,1), the pair f=g=fηf=g=f_\eta is a Krivine rounding scheme and

c(fη,fη)>2πlog(1+2).c(f_\eta,f_\eta)>\frac{2}{\pi}\log\left(1+\sqrt{2}\right).

Equivalently, the proof should require only HηH_\eta, rather than a convex combination of H0H_0 and HηH_\eta. The conjecture is presented as a possible simplification of the paper's proof; no resolution is supplied.
