The volume-product conjecture for finite metric spaces

Let MM be a metric space with n+1n+1 points. Let F(M)\mathcal F(M) be its Lipschitz-free space, let BF(M)B_{\mathcal F(M)} be the unit ball of this nn-dimensional space, and define

P(M):=P(BF(M)).\mathcal P(M):=\mathcal P(B_{\mathcal F(M)}).

Volume-product conjecture for finite metric spaces. One has

P(M)P(B1n).\mathcal P(M)\geq \mathcal P(B_1^n).

Here B1nB_1^n is the cross-polytope, whose volume product equals that of the cube and is the conjectured minimum among symmetric convex bodies. This is presented as the paper's main conjecture for the volume products of Lipschitz-free spaces; no resolution is given in the supplied text.
