Review text

The volume ratio \(vq(K)\) of a convex body \(K\) in \(\mathbb R^{n}\) is the ratio of the smallest volume of the circumscribed ellipsoids to the largest volume of the inscribed ellipsoids, raised to a power \(1/n\). It attains its maximum if \(K\) is a simplex \(T\) of dimension \(n\). For \(T\) holds \(vq(T)=n\). The authors prove the following elegant stability result: There are constants \(c(n), \varepsilon (n)>0\) such that the following hold: If \(vq(K)>(1-\varepsilon )n\) and \(0\leq\varepsilon\leq\varepsilon (n)\), then the Banach-Mazur distance of \(K\) and \(T\) is at most \(1+c(n)\varepsilon^{1/4}\).
