Makai Jr.'s non-symmetric difference-body volume-product conjecture

Let KK be a convex body in Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}, and let (KK)(K-K)^{\circ} be the polar body of its difference body. Makai Jr.'s conjecture.

K(KK)n+1n!.|K|\,|(K-K)^{\circ}| \geq \frac{n+1}{n!}.

Equality should hold if and only if KK is a simplex. This alternative non-symmetric extension is intended to preserve the connection between Mahler-type inequalities, geometry of numbers, and non-separable lattice arrangements; the source does not state a resolution status.
