Mahler's successive-minima inequality for polars

Let KKosnK\in\mathcal K_{os}^n be an origin-symmetric convex body and let ΛLn\Lambda\in\mathcal L^n be a lattice. Write KK^\star and Λ\Lambda^\star for the polar body and dual lattice. Mahler's successive-minima conjecture.

2nn!det(Λ)λ1(K,Λ)λn(K,Λ)vol(K).\frac{2^n}{n!}\det(\Lambda)\,\lambda_1(K^\star,\Lambda^\star)\cdots\lambda_n(K^\star,\Lambda^\star)\leq\operatorname{vol}(K).

The inequality would be best possible and, according to the source, is known for n=2,3n=2,3; the source does not resolve the general case.
