The slicing conjecture for convex bodies

For a convex body KRn\mathcal{K}\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}, let voln1(KH)\operatorname{vol}_{n-1}(\mathcal{K}\cap H) denote the (n1)(n-1)-dimensional volume of its section by a hyperplane HH. Define the slicing constant LnL_n by

1Ln:=infKRnsupHvoln1(KH),\frac{1}{L_n}:=\inf_{\mathcal{K}\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}}\sup_H\operatorname{vol}_{n-1}(\mathcal{K}\cap H),

where the infimum is over convex bodies of volume one and the supremum is over hyperplanes.

Slicing conjecture. The slicing constant is universally bounded:

Ln=O(1).L_n=O(1).

Following Guan's analysis, the source states that this conjecture was resolved by Klartag and Lehec and by Bizeul.
