The volume lower bound for real reflexive polytopes

Let PP be a real reflexive polytope, meaning a reflexive polytope for which every root of its Ehrhart polynomial LPL_P is real. Let vol(P)\operatorname{vol}(P) denote its normalized volume.

Real reflexive-polytope volume conjecture. If PP is dd-dimensional, then

vol(P)2d.\operatorname{vol}(P)\geq 2^d.

The paper proves this claim in dimension 44 using the classification of Kreuzer and Skarke, but notes that no theoretical explanation is known there; the general-dimensional conjecture remains open in the supplied text.
