Boundary-vertex conjecture for minimal covering bodies
Boundary-vertex conjecture for minimal covering bodies
Let be a convex body and let be a lattice such that is a minimal covering of . Suppose that contains a translate of a full-dimensional lattice polytope , so that
for some .
Boundary-vertex conjecture. The vertices of lie on the boundary of .
The conjecture proposes a stronger boundary constraint for lattice polytopes contained in minimal covering bodies, following the paper's proof that minimal covering bodies are polytopes.
