Gardner–Giannopoulos cross-section body conjecture for ss-concave densities

Let ff be a symmetric ss-concave probability density on Rn\mathbb{R}^n. For p[1,]p\in[-1,\infty], let Cp(f)C_p(f) denote its pp-th cross-section body, defined through its radial function by

ρCp(f)(v)=(Rn(x+vf(y)dy)pf(x)dx)1/p,vSn1.\rho_{C_p(f)}(v)=\left(\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\left(\int_{x+v^\perp}f(y)\,dy\right)^p f(x)\,dx\right)^{1/p},\qquad v\in\mathbb{S}^{n-1}.

Cross-section body conjecture. If s[1/n,]s\in[-1/n,\infty], then Cp(f)C_p(f) is a symmetric convex body. This is the geometric reformulation of the reverse Rényi entropy power norm conjecture. It extends the intersection-body and cross-section-body phenomena known for symmetric convex bodies and, in some cases, symmetric log-concave or convex measures; the general assertion remains open in the source.
