Mahler's volume product conjecture
Mahler's volume product conjecture
Let be an -dimensional normed space, let be its dual, and let and be the unit balls of and , respectively. Write for the Liouville volume of , also called the Mahler volume or volume product. Mahler's volume product conjecture. For every -dimensional normed space ,
The conjecture concerns the sharp lower bound for the volume product of centrally symmetric convex bodies, with equality attained by the hypercube and, non-uniquely in the broad formulation, its relevant affine counterparts. It was conjectured by Mahler in 1939 and remains an open problem in convex geometry.
