Illumination conjecture for 1-unconditionally symmetric cap bodies

At least 5 years old · documented by

Let K⊂Ed\mathbf{K}\subset\mathbb{E}^d be a 11-unconditionally symmetric cap body, meaning that K\mathbf{K} is symmetric about each coordinate hyperplane of Ed\mathbb{E}^d, and let d≥5d\geq 5. Illumination conjecture for 1-unconditionally symmetric cap bodies. Every such cap body can be illuminated by 2d2d directions.

The preceding theorem gives the weaker bound I(K)≤4dI(\mathbf{K})\leq 4d, while the conjectured 2d2d estimate would establish the general illumination bound for this class and is proposed as a sharper result.
