Two-point conjecture for Riesz capacity ratios

Let n2n\geq 2, let q<p<0q<p<0, and let KRnK\subset\mathbb R^n be compact with more than one point. The quantities Capp(K)\operatorname{Cap}_p(K) and Capq(K)\operatorname{Cap}_q(K) are the corresponding Riesz capacities. Two-point conjecture. Among such sets KK, any set consisting of exactly two points maximizes

Capq(K)Capp(K).\frac{\operatorname{Cap}_q(K)}{\operatorname{Cap}_p(K)}.

This concerns the region below the diagonal q<pq<p and is presented as a new conjecture; no proof or resolution is supplied in the source.
