Busemann–Petty centroid inequality formulation of the slicing conjecture

Let GRdG\subset\mathbb{R}^d be a convex symmetric body in isotropic position, and let L(G)L(G) denote its isotropic constant. Slicing conjecture. There is a constant C>0C>0 independent of dNd\in\mathbb{N} such that

L(G)CL(G)\le C

for every convex symmetric body GRdG\subset\mathbb{R}^d in isotropic position. The best general bound currently available is L(G)=O(d1/4)L(G)=O(d^{1/4}), so the conjectured dimension-independent bound remains open and has several equivalent formulations.
