The log-Brunn-Minkowski conjecture for centrally symmetric convex bodies

Let K,LRnK,L\subset\mathbb R^n be centrally symmetric convex bodies, let λ[0,1]\lambda\in[0,1], and define their log-Minkowski combination by

(1λ)K+oλL=uSn1{x:x,uhK(u)λhL(u)1λ}.(1-\lambda)K+_o\lambda L=\bigcap_{u\in S^{n-1}}\{x:\langle x,u\rangle\le h_K(u)^\lambda h_L(u)^{1-\lambda}\}.

The log-Brunn-Minkowski conjecture. One has

vol((1λ)K+oλL)vol(K)1λvol(L)λ.\operatorname*{vol}((1-\lambda)K+_o\lambda L)\ge \operatorname*{vol}(K)^{1-\lambda}\operatorname*{vol}(L)^\lambda.

Böröczky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang showed this conjecture in the plane; it also holds for unconditional bodies. It implies the LpL^p-Brunn-Minkowski conjecture for every p>0p>0, but remains open in general.
