Minkowski summand conjecture from acyclic translates

Let AA and BB be convex bodies in Rn\mathbb{R}^n. For every vector tRnt\in\mathbb R^n, consider the translate A+tA+t and its difference from BB. Minkowski summand conjecture. If (A+t)B(A+t)\setminus B is either empty or acyclic for every tRnt\in\mathbb R^n, then AA is a Minkowski summand of BB, meaning that there is a convex body CC such that B=A+CB=A+C. The conjecture asks whether the acyclicity hypothesis, previously proved under an openness assumption on BB, remains sufficient when BB is a convex body; no resolution is supplied in the source.
