The theorem states that, in 20-dimensional Euclidean space, it is false that every convex body P satisfies ratio(P) ≤ ratio(simplex). Here a convex body is a compact convex set with nonempty interior, and the simplex is the convex hull of the origin and the 20 standard basis vectors. For a unit vector u, the projection volume of P is the (d−1)-dimensional Euclidean Hausdorff measure, with d=20, of the image of P under orthogonal projection onto the hyperplane orthogonal to u, taken as a real number. The projection body of P is the set of points x such that ⟨u,x⟩ is at most this projection volume for every unit vector u. The ratio of P is the Lebesgue volume of its projection body divided by the volume of P raised to the power d−1=19. So the theorem asserts that some convex body P in dimension 20 has ratio(P) strictly greater than ratio of the simplex. The source proof is admitted rather than verified here.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
