Makai's lattice-width volume conjecture

Let KKnK\in\mathcal K^n be a full-dimensional convex body and let ΛLn\Lambda\in\mathcal L^n. Write KsK_s for the symmetrization of KK, and KK^\star and Λ\Lambda^\star for the polar body and dual lattice. Makai's conjecture.

n+1n!det(Λ)λ1(Ks,Λ)nvol(K).\frac{n+1}{n!}\det(\Lambda)\,\lambda_1(K_s^\star,\Lambda^\star)^n\leq\operatorname{vol}(K).

The source says that this weaker inequality remains open for n4n\geq4.
