Supermodularity conjecture for a convex body and compact summands

About 4 years old · traced to

Let n≥2n\geq 2. For a convex body AA and compact sets B,C⊂RnB,C\subset\mathbb{R}^n, consider their Minkowski sums. Supermodularity conjecture.

∣A+B+C∣+∣A∣≥∣A+B∣+∣A+C∣.|A+B+C|+|A|\geq |A+B|+|A+C|.

This extends the known one-dimensional inequality involving ∣conv⁡(A)∣|\operatorname{conv}(A)| and asks whether convexity of AA restores supermodularity in higher dimensions; the conjecture is open for n≥2n\geq2.
