Packing-minima transference conjecture

About 6 years old · traced to

Let KK be a convex body in Rn\mathbb{R}^n, let Kc=12(K−K)K_c=\frac12(K-K) be its central symmetral, and let Λ\Lambda be a lattice in Rn\mathbb{R}^n. Write [Kc]⋆[K_c]^\star and [Λ]⋆[\Lambda]^\star for the polar body and dual lattice, respectively, and let ρi(K,Λ)\rho_i(K,\Lambda) denote the iith packing minimum.

Packing-minima transference conjecture. For 1≤j≤n1\leq j\leq n,

ρj(K,Λ) ρn−j+1([Kc]⋆,[Λ]⋆)≥12.\rho_j(K,\Lambda)\,\rho_{n-j+1}([K_c]^\star,[\Lambda]^\star)\geq\frac12.

This is proposed as a complete packing-minima analogue of the lower bound in Banaszczyk's transference inequality. The statement is open in the source.
