The ellipsoidal maximization conjecture for the polar second moment
The ellipsoidal maximization conjecture for the polar second moment
Let be centrally symmetric, let be its polar body, and let be uniformly distributed on . Polar second-moment conjecture. The quantity
is maximized when is an ellipsoid.
The conjecture would imply the centrally symmetric isotropic constant conjecture and would sharpen the Blaschke–Santaló theorem. The paper therefore describes it as difficult and perhaps less likely, but leaves it open.
