Stability of magnitude for finite subsets of Euclidean and taxicab spaces
Prove that for U = (ℝ^n, ℓ^p) with 1 ≤ p ≤ 2, the magnitude mapping X ↦ |X| is continuous with respect to the Hausdorff topology on the set of finite subsets of U, thereby establishing stability of magnitude for finite subsets of Euclidean (ℓ^2) and taxicab (ℓ^1) spaces.

We therefore close this introduction by stating a conjecture. If U = (\mathbb{R}n, \ellp) where 1 \leq p \leq 2, then the function X \mapsto |X| is continuous with respect to the Hausdorff topology on the set of finite subsets of U. In particular, magnitude is stable for finite subsets of Euclidean or taxicab space.
