Gusakova–Zaporozhets uniqueness conjecture for ellipsoids
Gusakova–Zaporozhets uniqueness conjecture for ellipsoids
Let and be ellipsoids in . For a bounded convex set , let denote its intrinsic volumes, defined by the Steiner formula
where is the Euclidean unit ball, , and is -dimensional volume. Two ellipsoids are congruent when one is obtained from the other by a rigid motion. Gusakova–Zaporozhets' conjecture. If
for every , then and are congruent. The conjecture asserts uniqueness of an ellipsoid up to rigid motions from its intrinsic volumes. It was conjectured by Anna Gusakova and Dmitry Zaporozhets in 2017 and is proved in the source paper for , while the general-dimensional case is not resolved here.
