The weak monotonicity conjecture for Minkowski endomorphisms

Let nn be the dimension, and let Kn\mathcal{K}^n denote the space of convex bodies in Rn\mathbb{R}^n. A Minkowski endomorphism is a continuous, rotation-intertwining, Minkowski-additive map Φ:KnKn\Phi:\mathcal{K}^n\to\mathcal{K}^n; it is weakly monotone if it is monotone with respect to set inclusion on convex bodies whose Steiner point is the origin. Weak monotonicity conjecture. For n3n\geq 3, every Minkowski endomorphism is weakly monotone. The conjecture would give a classification of all Minkowski endomorphisms through the representation by weakly positive measures currently known under the weak-monotonicity assumption; it is known in dimension 22 but remains open in dimensions at least 33.
