Leinster–Willerton magnitude conjecture for convex bodies
Leinster–Willerton magnitude conjecture for convex bodies
Let be compact and convex, and let for . For , let denote the intrinsic volumes of , let be the volume of the -dimensional unit ball, and let denote -dimensional volume. Leinster–Willerton magnitude conjecture. One should have
with, equivalently,
Here is the volume of the -dimensional unit ball. This conjecture predicts that magnitude recovers the intrinsic volumes of a compact convex body, and in particular that its constant expansion coefficient agrees with the Euler characteristic. The general statement is presented as a long-standing problem, especially for compact domains in even-dimensional Euclidean spaces; the supplied text does not establish its resolution.
