Litvak conjectured in 2018 that for every p > 0 the quantity E[min_i ≤ n |g_i|^p], for g ~ N(0,Σ), is minimized over n × n correlation matrices by the Gram matrix of the regular simplex in R^n-1. False: the matrix Σ^cos_ij = cos(π(i-j)/n)…
The Gaussian Moments Conjecture asks whether, for complex polynomials P,Q in n independent standard real Gaussian variables, E(P^m)=0 for all m≥ 1 forces E(QP^m)=0 for all large m. Explicit counterexamples with E(P^m)=0 and E(QP^m)=m!≠ 0…
