Nonabelian Brunn–Minkowski conjecture for simply connected simple Lie groups

Let GG be a simply connected simple Lie group equipped with a Haar measure μ\mu. Let dd be the dimension of GG, and let mm be the dimension of a maximal compact subgroup of GG.

Nonabelian Brunn–Minkowski conjecture. For every pair of compact sets A,BGA,B\subseteq G,

μ(AB)1dmμ(A)1dm+μ(B)1dm.\mu(AB)^{\frac{1}{d-m}}\geq\mu(A)^{\frac{1}{d-m}}+\mu(B)^{\frac{1}{d-m}}.

This is the conjectural sharp Brunn–Minkowski inequality underlying the paper’s reduction arguments. The source explicitly says that the conjecture remains open in general, while a weaker inequality with a loss in the exponent is known.
