Polarization monotonicity conjecture for the transfinite diameter

From papers

Let EEsubset R2{\mathbb R}^2 be compact and let HH be a polarizer. The polarization monotonicity conjecture.

Tdiam(PH(E))Tdiam(E).T_{diam}(P_H(E))\leq T_{diam}(E).

Moreover, equality holds only if PH(E)EP_H(E)\cong E or PH(E)σH(E)P_H(E)\cong \sigma_H(E). This extends the corresponding monotonicity known for Schwarz and Steiner symmetrizations; the conjectured polarization inequality remains open.
