Magnitude–intrinsic-volume finiteness conjecture for compact convex subsets of L1L_1

At least 3 years old · documented by

Let L1L_1 denote the space of integrable functions, and let K⊆L1K\subseteq L_1 be compact and convex. Write μ1L1(K)\mu_1^{L_1}(K) for the supremum of the first Holmes–Thompson intrinsic volume over finite-dimensional affine sections of KK. Magnitude–intrinsic-volume finiteness conjecture.

Mag⁡(K,∥⋅∥1)<∞⟺μ1L1(K)<∞.\operatorname{Mag}\left(K,\left\Vert\cdot\right\Vert_1\right)<\infty\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad \mu_1^{L_1}(K)<\infty.

The conjecture seeks a converse to the known implication supplied by the paper’s L1L_1 one-point result: finite intrinsic-volume control implies finite magnitude. The converse is presented as open and is motivated by earlier Hilbert-space results and examples of compact positive-definite metric spaces with infinite magnitude.
