Volume-normalized p-capacity conjecture for linear images

From papers

Let n2n\geq 2 and 0<p<n0<p<n. Let KRnK\subset\mathbb{R}^n be a compact set with an irreducible group of isometries, let MM be a volume-preserving invertible linear map, and write CpC_p for pp-capacity and VV for volume. Volume-normalized pp-capacity conjecture. One should have

Cp(MK)Cp(K).C_p(MK)\geq C_p(K).

In particular, if KK has positive volume, then the scale-invariant quantity Cp/V1/nC_p/V^{1/n} should be minimal at KK among all linear images:

CpV1/n(MK)CpV1/n(K).\frac{C_p}{V^{1/n}}(MK)\geq\frac{C_p}{V^{1/n}}(K).

This is posed as an open volume-normalization analogue of the paper's established capacity-minimization results for other settings; its validity for general pp is left open.
