Strong isotropic constant conjecture for symmetric 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. The strong isotropic constant conjecture for symmetric convex bodies. For every symmetric convex body KRnK\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n,

C(K)C([1,1]n)=12n.\mathcal{C}(K)\geq\mathcal{C}([-1,1]^n)=12^n.

Equivalently, the isotropic constant is maximized by the cube among symmetric convex bodies. The conjecture is presented as the symmetric case of a strong isotropic conjecture, with no resolution supplied here.
