Regular simplex conjecture for Riesz capacity ratios

About 2 years old · traced to

Let n≥3n\geq 3, let p<q≤−2p<q\leq -2, and let K⊂RnK\subset\mathbb R^n be compact with more than one point. The quantities Cap⁡p(K)\operatorname{Cap}_p(K) and Cap⁡q(K)\operatorname{Cap}_q(K) are the corresponding Riesz capacities. Regular simplex conjecture. Among such sets KK, the regular (n+1)(n+1)-point set maximizes

Cap⁡q(K)Cap⁡p(K).\frac{\operatorname{Cap}_q(K)}{\operatorname{Cap}_p(K)}.

The claim is known for n=1n=1 and n=2n=2, while the proposition handling the diameter edge case gives related results for q≤−2q\leq-2; the stated ratio conjecture for n≥3n\geq3 remains open.
