Geometric mean and triangles inscribed in a semicircle in Banach spaces (Q2470518)

Let \(X\) be a Banach space with the unit sphere \(S_X:=\{x\in X:\| x\| =1\}\). The authors introduce the two new constants \(t(X)=\inf_{x\in S_X}\sup_{y\in S_X}\sqrt{\| x+y\| \| x-y\| }\) and \(T(X)=\sup_{x,y\in S_X}\sqrt{\| x+y\| \| x-y\| }\). They give some relationships between these constants and other known ones, e.g., the James and von Neumann--Jordan constants. The exact values of these constants are computed for some interesting Banach spaces.
