Arithmetic conjecture for expected face numbers of Poisson–Voronoi polytopes

Let dNd\in\mathbb{N} and k{0,,d1}k\in\{0,\ldots,d-1\}. Write Vd\mathcal{V}_d for the Poisson–Voronoi polytope in dimension dd, and let Efk(Vd)\mathbb{E}f_k(\mathcal{V}_d) denote its expected number of kk-dimensional faces. Arithmetic conjecture. If both dd and kk are odd, then

Efk(Vd)=qπdk\mathbb{E}f_k(\mathcal{V}_d)=q\pi^{d-k}

for some rational number qq. The claim is presented as a consequence of the preceding conjecture on dual expected internal-angle sums and is supported by the values discussed in the source, but remains unproved there.
