Conjecture on ultra-log-concave intrinsic-volume sequences

Let (ak)k0(a_k)_{k\geq 0} be a sequence of positive numbers with a0=1a_0=1. An infinite-dimensional GB-set is a set for which the intrinsic volumes {Vk(K)}k0\{V_k(K)\}_{k\geq 0} form such a sequence.

Conjecture on ultra-log-concave intrinsic-volume sequences. The sequence (ak)k0(a_k)_{k\geq 0} is the intrinsic-volume sequence of some infinite-dimensional GB-set if and only if

ak2k+1kak1ak+1,k=1,2,.a_k^2\geq\frac{k+1}{k}a_{k-1}a_{k+1},\qquad k=1,2,\dots.

Thus, ultra-log-concavity is conjectured to be not only necessary but also sufficient for an infinite-dimensional intrinsic-volume sequence. The source presents this as an open analogue of the Blaschke problem in Hilbert space; no resolution is supplied.
