Covering product conjecture

Let KK be a convex body in Rn\mathbb{R}^n and let Λ\Lambda be a lattice in Rn\mathbb{R}^n. Let μi(K,Λ)\mu_i(K,\Lambda) denote the covering minima.

Covering product conjecture. One has

n+12ni=1n1μi(K,Λ)vol(K)det(Λ),\frac{n+1}{2^n}\prod_{i=1}^n\frac{1}{\mu_i(K,\Lambda)}\leq\frac{\operatorname{vol}(K)}{\det(\Lambda)},

and this bound is best possible.

The conjecture is presented as a covering-minima analogue of the volume inequalities for packing minima and is attributed to the cited work. Its validity is not resolved in the source.
