Saroglou's lower-bound conjecture for the second projection body

Let KK be a dd-dimensional convex body containing the origin in its interior. Define

m(K):=minxSd1hΠ2K(x)hK(x)V(K)d2.m(K):=\min_{x\in S^{d-1}}\frac{h_{\Pi^2K}(x)}{h_K(x)V(K)^{d-2}}.

For xSd1x\in S^{d-1}, let K(sx+x)K\cap(sx+x^\bot) be the (d1)(d-1)-dimensional section and let Vd1V_{d-1} denote its volume. Saroglou's lower-bound conjecture.

m(K)maxxSd1ωd2d1ωd13d{(hK(x)hK(x)Vd1(K(sx+x))d2d1ds)d1hK(x)V(K)d2}.m(K)\geq\max_{x\in S^{d-1}}\omega_{d-2}^{d-1}\omega_{d-1}^{3-d}\left\{\frac{\left(\displaystyle\int_{-h_K(x)}^{h_K(x)}V_{d-1}\left(K\cap(sx+x^\bot)\right)^{\frac{d-2}{d-1}}ds\right)^{d-1}}{h_K(x)V(K)^{d-2}}\right\}.

The source presents this as a conjectural all-dimensional strengthening related to its proved three-dimensional lower-bound results; no resolution is given.
