The logarithmic Brunn-Minkowski conjecture for origin-symmetric convex bodies
Let be origin-symmetric convex bodies containing the origin in their interiors, and let denote their logarithmic combination, defined as the Wulff shape of , where and are the support functions. For , The logarithmic Brunn-Minkowski conjecture.
This is the logarithmic analogue of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality and is known in dimension two, for bodies sufficiently close to the unit -ball when , and under certain reflection symmetries. The general case remains open.

Claims the logarithmic Brunn-Minkowski volume inequality for arbitrary origin-symmetric convex bodies in every dimension, with geometric interpolation through the Wulff body; the claim does not extend to unrestricted nonsymmetric bodies.
