Regular truncated-octahedron conjecture for unit-volume parallelohedra

From papers

Let PP be a three-dimensional parallelohedron of unit volume, and let surf(P)\operatorname{surf}(P) denote its surface area. Regular truncated-octahedron conjecture. Among three-dimensional, unit-volume parallelohedra PP, surf(P)\operatorname{surf}(P) is minimal if and only if PP is a regular truncated octahedron. This is a parallelohedral version of the equal-volume, minimum-surface-area problem for space mosaics; the source notes that no subfamily of mosaics solving Kelvin's problem was known there.
