The radial-measure simplex conjecture

About 9 years old · traced to

Let μ\mu be a radially symmetric measure on the ambient Euclidean space with positive density ρ(r)\rho(r) that is monotone decreasing in the radius. 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. The radial-measure simplex conjecture. The value μ(S)\mu(S) is minimized at the regular simplex with inscribed ball B0(r)B_0(r). This is proposed as a stronger version of the Gaussian simplex measure conjecture and is left open in the paper.
