The Equality Case of Ehrhart's Volume Conjecture

resolvedconfidence 70%

VibeMathed reports this item as resolved. VibeMath preserves that report as a source assertion and has not independently authored a plain-language mathematical explanation.

Precise statement

Ehrhart conjectured that a full-dimensional compact convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$ whose barycenter is its unique interior lattice point has volume at most $(n+1)^n/n!$. With the inequality itself settled, the remaining question was which bodies attain it. Every such body is a unimodular image of the simplex $(n+1)\Delta_n - (1,\dots,1)$.

The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement fidelity, correctness, priority, or novelty.
