Barker's tensor-product characterization of Choquet simplices
Barker's tensor-product characterization of Choquet simplices
Let and be compact convex sets. Write and for their minimal and maximal tensor products of compact convex sets, respectively.
Barker's conjecture. if and only if one of and is a Choquet simplex.
This would replace the square in the Namioka–Phelps characterization with an arbitrary compact convex set that is not a Choquet simplex, and is stated as an open problem first formulated by G. P. Barker.
