The normalized-volume decay conjecture for matrix-preserving polynomial cones

Let Pn,k\mathcal{P}_{n,k} be the cone of polynomials of degree at most kk that preserve nonnegative matrices of order nn, let Bk+1(0,1)\overline{B}_{k+1}(0,1) be the unit ball in coefficient space, and let Hk+1\mathcal{H}^{k+1} denote (k+1)(k+1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure. For k2nk\geq 2n, consider the normalized volume

Hk+1(Pn,kBk+1(0,1))Hk+1(Bk+1(0,1)).\frac{\mathcal{H}^{k+1}\left(\mathcal{P}_{n,k}\cap\overline{B}_{k+1}(0,1)\right)}{\mathcal{H}^{k+1}\left(\overline{B}_{k+1}(0,1)\right)}.

Normalized-volume decay conjecture.

limkHk+1(Pn,kBk+1(0,1))Hk+1(Bk+1(0,1))=0.\lim_{k\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\mathcal{H}^{k+1}\left(\mathcal{P}_{n,k}\cap\overline{B}_{k+1}(0,1)\right)}{\mathcal{H}^{k+1}\left(\overline{B}_{k+1}(0,1)\right)}=0.

This is one of the paper's two conjectures about the asymptotic volume of these cones; the preceding finite-dimensional volume comparison is proved, while this limiting assertion remains open.
