Abstract: Meyer and Reisner had proved the Mahler conjecture for rovelution bodies. In this paper, using a new method, we prove that among origin-symmetric bodies of revolution in R^3, cylinders have the minimal Mahler volume. Further, we prove that among parallel sections homothety bodies in R^3, 3-cubes have the minimal Mahler volume.

Review text

Let \(K\) be an origin-symmetric convex body in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) and let \(K^*\) be its polar body. The Mahler's conjecture states that NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\text{vol}(K)\text{vol}(K^*) \geq \text{vol}(C)\text{vol}(C^*)=\frac{4^n}{n!},NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(C\) is the \(n\)-cube and \(\text{vol}(\cdot)\) denotes the volume. The product \(\text{vol}(K)\text{vol}(K^*)\) is known as the Mahler volume of \(K\). \textit{M. Meyer} and \textit{S. Reisner} [Monatsh. Math. 125, No. 3, 219--227 (1998; Zbl 0903.52007)] proved this conjecture for bodies of revolution. In this paper, the authors prove that among origin-symmetric bodies of revolution in \(\mathbb{R}^3\), cylinders have the minimal Mahler volume. Furthermore, they show that among parallel sections homothety bodies in \(\mathbb{R}^3\), 3-cubes have the minimal Mahler volume.
