Abstract: We prove that, if all intersections of a convex body $Bsubsetmathbb R^4$ with 3-dimensional linear subspaces are linearly equivalent,then $B$ is a centered ellipsoid. This settles the case $n=3$ of an old problem by Banach: Let $V$ be a normed vector space whose $n$-dimesional linear subspaces, for a fixed $n<dim V$, are all isometric. Is $V$ necessarily an inner product space? The dimensions $n=3$ and $dim V=4$ are the first case where the answer was not known, and in this case global topological methods do not help. Our proof is based on a differential geometric approach.
