Soprunov–Zvavitch extremizer conjecture for the Bezout ratio

Let KK0nK\in\mathcal{K}_0^n be a convex body, where K0n\mathcal{K}_0^n denotes the convex bodies in Rn\mathbb{R}^n containing the origin in their interiors. Define

b2(K):=maxA,B(K0n)2Vn(A,B,K[n2])Vn(K)Vn(A,K[n1])Vn(B,K[n1]).b_2(K):=\max_{A,B\in(\mathcal{K}_0^n)^2}\frac{V_n(A,B,K[n-2])V_n(K)}{V_n(A,K[n-1])V_n(B,K[n-1])}.

Here VnV_n is the mixed-volume functional and K[j]K[j] denotes jj repeated arguments. Soprunov–Zvavitch's conjecture. If b2(K)=1b_2(K)=1, then KK is an nn-simplex. The quantity b2b_2 is affine-invariant and satisfies 1b2(K)21\leq b_2(K)\leq 2; the conjecture characterizes the equality case of the lower bound and is a reformulation of Conjecture 1.1 from Soprunov and Zvavitch's work on Bezout inequalities for mixed volumes.
