Weighted Levi–Hadwiger covering conjecture

Let KRnK\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n} be a convex body, and let Nω(K,T)N_{\omega}(K,T) denote its weighted covering number. Weighted Levi–Hadwiger covering conjecture.

limλ1Nω(K,λK)2n.\lim_{\lambda\to1^{-}}N_{\omega}(K,\lambda K)\le 2^{n}.

Moreover, equality holds if and only if KK is a parallelotope. The source proves the bound for centrally symmetric convex bodies and proves the equality characterization in that case; the assertion for arbitrary convex bodies remains open.
