The norm conjecture for entropy of projections of symmetric log-concave vectors

Let XX be a symmetric log-concave random vector in Rn\mathbb{R}^n. For vRnv\in\mathbb{R}^n, define

NX(v)={eS(v,X)v0,0v=0.N_X(v)= \begin{cases} e^{\mathcal{S}(\langle v,X\rangle)} & v\ne 0,\\ 0 & v=0. \end{cases}

The norm conjecture. The function NXN_X defines a norm on Rn\mathbb{R}^n. This would give a geometric formulation of entropy inequalities for one-dimensional projections of symmetric log-concave random vectors. The source does not provide evidence that the conjecture has been resolved.
