The absolutely continuous coupling conjecture for the leftover regions

For each dNd\in\mathbb{N}, let A\mathcal{A}, C\mathcal{C}, and E\mathcal{E} be the regions defined in the paper, and let vold1\operatorname{vol}_{d-1} denote (d1)(d-1)-dimensional volume. A distribution on C\mathcal{C} is absolutely continuous if it has a density with respect to Lebesgue measure.

Absolutely continuous coupling conjecture. For every dNd\in\mathbb{N}, there exist distributions f1,f2,f3,f4f_1,f_2,f_3,f_4 on C\mathcal{C}, absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure, such that the triples

\originalleft(Unif(A),f1,f2\aftergroup\originalright)\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft(\operatorname{Unif}(\mathcal{A}),f_1,f_2\aftergroup\egroup\originalright)

and

\originalleft(f3,f4,Unif(E)\aftergroup\originalright)\mathopen{}\mathclose\bgroup\originalleft(f_3,f_4,\operatorname{Unif}(\mathcal{E})\aftergroup\egroup\originalright)

are compatible, and

vold1(A)[f1(v)+f2(v)]+vold1(E)[f3(v)+f4(v)]<1\operatorname{vol}_{d-1}(\mathcal{A})[f_1(v)+f_2(v)]+\operatorname{vol}_{d-1}(\mathcal{E})[f_3(v)+f_4(v)]<1

for every vCv\in\mathcal{C}.

This is the second continuous-coupling ingredient identified as sufficient for the paper's general-dimensional reduction. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
