The slicing conjecture for convex bodies
The slicing conjecture for convex bodies
For a convex body , let denote the -dimensional volume of its section by a hyperplane . Define the slicing constant by
where the infimum is over convex bodies of volume one and the supremum is over hyperplanes.
Slicing conjecture. The slicing constant is universally bounded:
Following Guan's analysis, the source states that this conjecture was resolved by Klartag and Lehec and by Bizeul.
