Fu's Weyl principle for Holmes–Thompson intrinsic volumes

Let VjV_j be finite-dimensional real vector spaces equipped with smooth norms FjF_j, and let ej ⁣:MVje_j\colon M\to V_j, j=1,2j=1,2, be smooth immersions of a smooth manifold MM. For a valuation, its pullback along an immersion is defined by eμ(A)=μ(e(A))e^*\mu(A)=\mu(e(A)) for compact submanifolds with corners AMA\subset M. Fu's Weyl principle. If

e1F1=e2F2,e_1^*F_1=e_2^*F_2,

then

e1μkF1=e2μkF2.e_1^*\mu_k^{F_1}=e_2^*\mu_k^{F_2}.

This conjecture asserts that the Holmes–Thompson intrinsic volumes depend only on the induced Finsler metric, not on the particular immersion into a normed space. The source presents it as an open conjecture; the supplied material gives no resolution.
