The Gaussian simplex measure conjecture

Let B0(r)B_0(r) be the ball of radius rr centered at the origin, and let SS range over simplices containing this ball. Let the Gaussian measure have density proportional to ex2e^{-|x|^2}. The Gaussian simplex measure conjecture. The Gaussian measure of SS is minimized at the regular simplex with inscribed ball B0(r)B_0(r). The claim is known in dimension 33 by slicing and the result about spherical caps, but remains open in general.
