Latała's moment conjecture for norms of log-concave vectors

From papers

A random vector XX with values in a finite-dimensional normed space (F, )(F,\|\ \|) is log-concave if its distribution is a log-concave measure. Let FF^* be the dual space, with dual norm φ\|\varphi\|_*. For p1p\geq 1, define the weak pp-th moment of X\|X\| by

supφF,φ1(Eφ(X)p)1/p.\sup_{\varphi\in F^*,\|\varphi\|_*\leq 1}\left(\mathbb{E}|\varphi(X)|^p\right)^{1/p}.

Latała's moment conjecture. There exists a universal constant CC such that, for every log-concave vector XX with values in a finite-dimensional normed space (F, )(F,\|\ \|) and every p1p\geq 1,

(EXp)1/pC(EX+supφF,φ1(Eφ(X)p)1/p).\left(\mathbb{E}\|X\|^p\right)^{1/p}\leq C\left(\mathbb{E}\|X\|+\sup_{\varphi\in F^*,\|\varphi\|_*\leq 1}\left(\mathbb{E}|\varphi(X)|^p\right)^{1/p}\right).

This conjecture seeks to extend Paouris's inequality from the Euclidean norm to arbitrary norms. The source says it was formulated and discussed in Latała's work; the supplied material gives no resolution status.
