Codenotti–Santos–Schymura conjecture on covering radii of non-hollow lattice polytopes

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let P⊆RdP\subseteq \mathbb{R}^d be a non-hollow lattice polytope. A full-dimensional lattice polytope is called terminal if it is a direct sum of translates of terminal simplices, where the terminal simplex is Td=conv⁡(−1d,e1,…,ed)T_d=\operatorname{conv}(-\mathbb{1}_d,e_1,\dots,e_d). Codenotti–Santos–Schymura conjecture. The covering radius satisfies

μ(P)⩽d2,\mu(P)\leqslant \frac{d}{2},

with equality if and only if PP is a terminal dd-polytope up to a unimodular transformation. Codenotti, Santos and Schymura pose this as the problem of determining the maximal covering radius of a non-hollow lattice polytope and prove the conjecture in dimensions at most 33; the general case remains open.
