The conjecture on Hofer-Zehnder subadditivity for convex coverings

At least 6 years old · documented by

Let K1,…,KmK_1,\ldots,K_m be convex bodies in T∗RnT^*\mathbb R^n. Hofer-Zehnder subadditivity conjecture. The Hofer-Zehnder capacity of their union should satisfy

cHZ(⋃i=1mKi)≤∑i=1mcEHZ(Ki).c_{\mathrm{HZ}}\left(\bigcup_{i=1}^m K_i\right)\leq\sum_{i=1}^m c_{\mathrm{EHZ}}(K_i).

This is stronger than the Akopyan–Karasev–Petrov conjecture because it does not require the union itself to be convex. The source explicitly states that this stronger assertion is unknown.
