Godberson's conjecture on mixed volumes of a convex body and its reflection

Let KRnK\subseteq\mathbb R^n be a convex body. For 0<j<n0<j<n, write V(K[j],K[nj])V(K[j],-K[n-j]) for the mixed volume with KK repeated jj times and K-K repeated njn-j times, and let Vol(K)\operatorname{Vol}(K) denote its volume.

Godberson's conjecture.

V(K[j],K[nj])(nj)Vol(K).V(K[j],-K[n-j])\leq \binom{n}{j}\operatorname{Vol}(K).

Equality holds if and only if KK is a simplex.

This conjecture would strengthen the Rogers–Shephard inequality for difference bodies term by term. The supplied text does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
