Banach-Mazur distance from _p^3 to _^3

Abstract: The maximum of the Banach-Mazur distance

d_{B M}^{M} (X, e l l_{i} n f t y^{n})

, where

X

ranges over the set of all

n

-dimensional real Banach spaces, is difficult to compute. In fact, it is already not easy to get the maximum of

d_{B M}^{M} (e l l_{p}^{n}, e l l_{i} n f t y^{n})

for all

p i n [1, i n f t y]

. We prove that

d_{B M}^{M} (e l l_{p}^{3}, e l l_{i} n f t y^{3}) l e q 9 / 5, f o r a l l p i n [1, i n f t y]

. As an application, the following result related to Borsuk's partition problem in Banach spaces is obtained: any subset

A

of

e l l_{p}^{3}

having diameter

1

is the union of

8

subsets of

A

whose diameters are at most

0.9

.
