Merino–Schymura conjecture on covering minima of terminal simplices

Let Td=conv⁡(−1d,e1,…,ed)T_d=\operatorname{conv}(-\mathbb{1}_d,e_1,\dots,e_d) be the terminal simplex in dimension dd, and let i∈[d]i\in[d]. Merino–Schymura conjecture. For every d∈Nd\in\mathbb{N} and every i∈[d]i\in[d],

μi(Td)=i2.\mu_i(T_d)=\frac{i}{2}.

The conjecture concerns all covering minima of the terminal simplex; the supplied text does not state a resolution, so the general assertion remains open.
