The weak monotonicity conjecture for Minkowski endomorphisms

About 14 years old · traced to

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:Kn→Kn\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 n≥3n\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.
