Poisson zero-cell face-probability limit conjecture

About 5 years old · traced to

Fix k∈{2,3,…}k\in\{2,3,\ldots\} and sample kk vertices uniformly at random from the vertices of the random polytope conv⁡Πd,1\operatorname{conv}\Pi_{d,1}. Let pk=πk/22kΓ(k2+1)p_k=\frac{\pi^{k/2}}{2^k\Gamma(\frac{k}{2}+1)}. Face-probability limit conjecture. The probability that the simplex spanned by these vertices is a (k−1)(k-1)-dimensional face of conv⁡Πd,1\operatorname{conv}\Pi_{d,1} converges, as d→∞d\to\infty, to some limit qk∈(0,1)q_k\in(0,1). Moreover, if the concentration conjecture referred to in the source holds, then pk=qkp_k=q_k. This refines the preceding neighborliness speculation by predicting a nontrivial limiting proportion of kk-tuples that span faces; no resolution is given in the source.
