A volume inequality for convex polytopes with d+2 vertices on the sphere

Let dNd\in\mathbb{N} and suppose QSd1Q\subset\mathbb{S}^{d-1} is a convex polytope with d+2d+2 vertices. Let QoQ^o denote its polar polytope, let volk(Q)\operatorname{vol}_k(Q) denote the vector of kk-dimensional volumes associated with QQ, and let εd\varepsilon_d be a quadratic form satisfying

0εd(Q)Cvold(Q)2.0\leq \varepsilon_d(Q)\leq C\operatorname{vol}_d(Q)^2.

The volume inequality. One has

vold(Q)22+εd(Q)(vol1(Q)22+vold(Qo)22)dcdd!2dd,\|\operatorname{vol}_d(Q) \|_{\ell_2}^2+\varepsilon_d(Q)\leq \frac{\left(\| \operatorname{vol}_1(Q)\|_{\ell_2}^2+\|\operatorname{vol}_d(Q^o) \|_{\ell_2}^{2}\right)^d}{ c_d\cdot d!^2\cdot d^d},

where cd=2(d+2)d1c_d=2(d+2)^{d-1}.

The statement gives a quantitative geometric inequality for convex polytopes with d+2d+2 vertices, with the error term controlled by the squared volume. Its status is unclear from the supplied context.
