Fine torus conjecture for discretizing integral seminorms

About 6 years old · traced to

Let K⊆RdK\subseteq\mathbb R^d be a nondegenerate integral convex polytope containing the origin. A fine structure on Rd\mathbb R^d is required to be Zd\mathbb Z^d-periodic, and dF~d_{\widetilde F} denotes its induced metric. Fine torus conjecture. There exists such a fine structure F~\widetilde F satisfying

dF~(x,x+v)=max⁡φ∈Kφ(v)=:∥v∥Kd_{\widetilde F}(x,x+v)=\max_{\varphi\in K}\varphi(v)=:\|v\|_K

for every v∈Zdv\in\mathbb Z^d and every vertex xx of F~\widetilde F, with exactly d!2∣K∣d!^2|K| dd-dimensional cells up to integer translations. The source presents this as a conjectural optimal discretization of integral seminorms; the discretization problem is noted to be open already in dimension three for the cube, where the conjectured minimum is 36 tetrahedra per period.
