Minkowski's covering-radius conjecture for unimodular lattices

About 3 years old · traced to

Let XdX_d be the space of lattices under consideration, let AA be the group acting on XdX_d, and let μ=CovRad⁡N\mu=\operatorname{CovRad}_N be the covering radius associated with N(v)=∏i=1d∣vi∣N(\mathbf{v})=\prod_{i=1}^d|v_i|. Minkowski's conjecture. For every Λ∈Xd\Lambda\in X_d,

μ(Λ)≤2−d=μ(Zd)\mu(\Lambda)\leq 2^{-d}=\mu(\mathbb{Z}^d)

and equality holds if and only if Λ∈AZd\Lambda\in A\mathbb{Z}^d. This conjecture has been proved for d≤10d\leq 10; its general status is not established in the supplied text.
