Understanding the problem

Read the background

For every convex body K in Rⁿ with n≥4, its normalized projection-body volume is at least the ellipsoid value, with equality exactly for ellipsoids.

Why it matters

If correct, completes the higher-dimensional part of Petty’s projection-volume conjecture.

What counts as progress

Do ellipsoids minimize normalized projection-body volume in every dimension at least four?
