Busemann-type norm conjecture for symmetric κ\kappa-concave measures

Fix κ[,1d]\kappa\in[-\infty,\frac1d]. Let (U,V)(U,V) be the coordinates of a symmetric κ\kappa-concave random vector in R2\mathbb{R}^2. Symmetric κ\kappa-concave Busemann conjecture. For every p[1,]p\in[1,\infty], whenever all quantities are finite,

Np1/2(U+V)Np1/2(U)+Np1/2(V).N_p^{1/2}(U+V)\leq N_p^{1/2}(U)+N_p^{1/2}(V).

Equivalently, if XX is a symmetric κ\kappa-concave random vector in Rd\mathbb{R}^d, then for any p[1,]p\in[1,\infty] the function

MpX(v)={Np1/2(v,X)v0,0v=0M_p^X(v)=\begin{cases}N_p^{1/2}(\langle v,X\rangle)&v\neq0,\\0&v=0\end{cases}

defines a norm on Rd\mathbb{R}^d when it is finite everywhere. This conjecture is intended to interpolate between the known p=p=\infty result and the Shannon case, while subsuming the other results and conjectures in the section. Its general status is open.
