Monotonicity conjecture for balanced Radon partitions of Gaussian points

From papers

Let N,dfinNN,dfin\mathbb{N} satisfy Nd+2N\geq d+2. For a partition [N]=AB[N]=A\cup B, let Pd(A,B)\mathbb{P}_d(A,B) denote the probability that (A,B)(A,B) is a Radon partition among NN independent random Gaussian points in Rd\mathbb{R}^d. Consider two partitions [N]=AB=AB[N]=A\cup B=A'\cup B' with A<AB<B|A|<|A'|\leq|B'|<|B|. Balanced-partition conjecture. Then

Pd(A,B)<Pd(A,B).\mathbb{P}_d(A,B)<\mathbb{P}_d(A',B').

The conjecture asserts that, in the random Gaussian setting, more balanced partitions are more likely to be Radon partitions. Balanced partitions are unavoidable for sufficiently large point configurations, whereas highly unbalanced partitions can be avoided; the general comparison remains open.
