We study the geometric significance of Leinster’s notion of magnitude for a compact metric space. For a smooth, compact domain X X in an odd-dimensional Euclidean space, we show that the asymptotic expansion of the function M X ( R ) = M a g ( R ⋅ X ) \mathcal {M}_X(R) = \mathrm {Mag}(R\cdot X) at R = ∞ R = \infty determines the Willmore energy of the boundary ∂ X \partial X . This disproves the Leinster-Willerton conjecture for a compact convex body in odd dimensions.
