Ellipsoid characterization from the translative constant volume property

About 13 years old · traced to

Let n≥3n\geq 3, and let K∈KnK\in\mathcal{K}_n be an origin-symmetric convex body satisfying the translative constant volume property.

Translative constant volume conjecture. Then KK is an ellipsoid.

The source presents this as plausible for centrally symmetric bodies. It notes that the corresponding characterization is known in the planar setting in terms of constant width in a Radon plane, while the higher-dimensional centrally symmetric case remains open.
