Ball–Nayar–Tkocz Busemann norm conjecture for Shannon entropy

Let XX be a symmetric log-concave random vector in Rd\mathbb{R}^d. Define

M1X(v)={N11/2(v,X)v0,0v=0.M_1^X(v)=\begin{cases}N_1^{1/2}(\langle v,X\rangle)&v\neq0,\\0&v=0.\end{cases}

Ball–Nayar–Tkocz's conjecture. The function M1XM_1^X defines a norm on Rd\mathbb{R}^d. The conjecture is the Shannon-entropy case of a Busemann-type theorem. The source records a later result proving the corresponding entropy inequality with exponent α=1/5\alpha=1/5, so the conjecture is treated as resolved.
