Metric Entropy Duality Conjecture


The metric entropy duality conjecture asserts universal comparison of translative covering numbers of origin-symmetric convex bodies and their polar bodies. One full formulation asks for constants a,b>=1 such that, in every finite dimension,

 1/blnN(L degrees,aK degrees)<=lnN(K,L)<=blnN(L degrees,a^(-1)K degrees).

Here K,L are origin-symmetric convex bodies, K degrees,L degrees are their polar bodies, and the covering centers are unrestricted.
