Petty's polar projection problem
Let be an -symmetric convex body, and let be its projection body, defined by
Its polar projection body is . Petty's conjecture. If and for some , then is an ellipsoid. This polar projection problem is a classical question in convex geometry; the stated version is known for convex polytopes, where Martini proved that the only such polytopes are simplices, but the general problem remains open.
