The compatible-uniform-coupling conjecture for coordinate-sum slices

At least 2 years old · documented by

For d∈Nd\in\mathbb{N} and t∈Rt\in\mathbb{R}, let PtdP_t^d denote the slice used in the paper and let udu_d maximize the volume of the coordinate-sum region defining cd∗c_d^*. Write Unif⁡(Ptd)\operatorname{Unif}(P_t^d) for the uniform distribution on PtdP_t^d. Three distributions are compatible when they can occur as the marginals of a joint distribution satisfying the required additive relation.

Compatible-uniform-coupling conjecture. For every d∈Nd\in\mathbb{N}, the triple

\originalleft(Unif⁡(Pudd),Unif⁡(Pudd),Unif⁡(P2udd)\aftergroup\originalright)\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft(\operatorname{Unif}(P_{u_d}^d),\operatorname{Unif}(P_{u_d}^d),\operatorname{Unif}(P_{2u_d}^d)\aftergroup\egroup\originalright)

is compatible.

This conjecture supplies the key continuous coupling needed in the paper's reduction of the general-dimensional extremal problem. Its resolution is not given in the supplied text.
