Ball's conjecture on the SL(n)SL(n)-invariant quantity B(K)B(K)

About 4 years old · traced to

For a convex body K⊆RnK\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n, define

B(K):=∫K∫K∘⟨x,y⟩2 dx dy,B(K):=\int_K\int_{K^\circ}\langle x,y\rangle^2\,dx\,dy,

where K∘K^\circ is the polar body. Ball proved that B(K)≤B(B2n)B(K)\leq B(B_2^n) for unconditional convex bodies. Ball's conjecture. The same inequality should hold for every symmetric convex body KK in Rn\mathbb{R}^n:

B(K)≤B(B2n).B(K)\leq B(B_2^n).

The conjecture extends Ball's unconditional-body theorem to arbitrary symmetric convex bodies and is presented in the source as unresolved.
