Review text

Let \(A\) be a bounded set in a Banach space \(E\) and define the diameter of \(A\) by \(d(A)=\sup_{x,y\in A}\|x-y\|\) and the radius of \(A\) by \(r(A)=\inf_{y\in E}\sup_{x\in A}\|x-y\|\). The quantity \(J(E)=\sup\{r(A)/d(A)\}\), where the supremum is extended over all bounded sets \(A\subset E\), or rather its double, is called the Jung constant of \(E\). Much is known about Jung constants for various Banach spaces although the evaluation of \(J(E)\) is a complicated geometrical problem. In the very interesting paper under review new estimates for Jung constants are obtained for rearrangement-invariant spaces. In particular, the lower estimate \(J(E)\geq\sqrt 2\) is obtained for any rearrangement-invariant space different from \(L^\infty\). Further estimates are formulated in terms of the fundamental function. Lower estimates are also given in the case of \(\vartheta\)-Hilbert spaces. The fact that \(J(E)\) attains its minimal value for \(E=L^2\) is pointed out.
