Ellipsoid characterization from the translative constant volume property
Ellipsoid characterization from the translative constant volume property
Let , and let be an origin-symmetric convex body satisfying the translative constant volume property.
Translative constant volume conjecture. Then 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.
