Strong isotropic constant conjecture for general convex bodies

Let C(K)=K2/detCov(K)=1/LK2n\mathcal{C}(K)=\lvert K\rvert^2/\det\operatorname{Cov}(K)=1/L_K^{2n} for a convex body KRnK\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n, and let Δn,0\Delta_{n,0} be the standard simplex. The strong isotropic constant conjecture for general convex bodies.

C(K)C(Δn,0)=(n+2)n(n+1)n+1(n!)2.\mathcal{C}(K)\geq\mathcal{C}(\Delta_{n,0})=\frac{(n+2)^n(n+1)^{n+1}}{(n!)^2}.

Equivalently, the isotropic constant is maximized by the simplex among general convex bodies. The conjecture is described as a strong version of the isotropic constant conjecture; its status is not otherwise resolved in the supplied text.
