Révész–Sarantopoulos conjecture on the real linear polarization constants

About 19 years old · traced to

Let cn(X)c_n(X) denote the nnth linear polarization constant of a normed space XX, and let Rn{\bf R}^n be the real Euclidean space. Révész–Sarantopoulos conjecture.

cn(Rn)=nn2.c_n({\bf R}^n)=n^{\frac{n}{2}}.

This conjecture asks for the exact real analogue of Arias-de-Reyna's complex result cn(Cn)=nn/2c_n({\bf C}^n)=n^{n/2}. The paper states that it had appeared previously in work of Ball and Arias-de-Reyna and had also been formulated by Révész and Sarantopoulos; the preceding theorem gives only the bounds nn/2≤cn(Rn)≤2n/2−1nn/2n^{n/2}\leq c_n({\bf R}^n)\leq 2^{n/2-1}n^{n/2}, so the conjecture remains open here.
