Symmetric minimal covering body classification conjecture
Symmetric minimal covering body classification conjecture
Let be an origin-symmetric convex body in , and suppose that is a -minimal covering body. Let denote the standard Kuhn simplices in .
Symmetric minimal covering body classification conjecture. There exists a unimodular transformation such that
for some translations .
The conjecture is proposed as a complete classification of three-dimensional centrally symmetric minimal covering bodies, contrasting with the infinitely many types established in higher-dimensional centrally symmetric and three-dimensional asymmetric settings.
