Review text

Let \(S_n=\langle A_0,A_1, \dots, A_n\rangle\) be an \(n\)-dimensional simplex with volume \(V\) in \(E^n\) \((n\)-dimensional Euclidean space), \(d_{ij}=| A_iA_j |\) the distance between its vertices. Then the well-known inequality (due to Veljan and Korchmàros): \[ V\leq {1\over n!} \sqrt {{n+1 \over 2^n}} \left(\prod_{0\leq i<j\leq n} d_{ij}\right)^{2/(n+1)} =:B(S_n) \tag{1} \] holds, and equality occurs iff \(S_n\) is a regular simplex. In this article the author proves that the upper bound \(B(S_n)\) in (1) can be replaced by \(B'(S_n): =B(S_n) \cdot(\sin \varphi)^{n/6 (n+1)}\), with \[ \varphi= {3\over n(n-1)} \cdot\sum_{1\leq i<j\leq n} \sphericalangle A_iA_0A_j. \]
