Kolesnikov–Milman local LpL_p-Minkowski conjecture

Let n2n\geq2, let p[0,1)p\in[0,1), and let KK be an origin-symmetric smooth strictly convex body with support function hKh_K. Write HK=2hK+hKIdH_K=\nabla^2h_K+h_K\operatorname{Id} and let (HKij)(H_K^{ij}) be its inverse. Let Ce2(Sn)C^2_e(S^n) denote the even twice continuously differentiable functions on SnS^n.

Kolesnikov–Milman local LpL_p-Minkowski conjecture. For every zCe2(Sn)z\in C^2_e(S^n) satisfying

SnzhKdSK=0,\int_{S^n}zh_K\,dS_K=0,

one has

SnHKijzizjhK2dSK(n+1p)Snz2hKdSK.\int_{S^n}H_K^{ij}z_iz_jh_K^2\,dS_K\geq(n+1-p)\int_{S^n}z^2h_K\,dS_K.

At p=0p=0, this is the local log-Minkowski conjecture. It is a spectral and variational strengthening of the local uniqueness problem for the even LpL_p-Minkowski problem, and the source does not report a resolution for the full range p[0,1)p\in[0,1).
