Abstract
Let be an -dimensional symmetric convex body with and let be its polar body. We present an elementary proof of the fact that where is the volume of the Euclidean ball of radius 1. The inequality is asymptotically weaker than the estimate of Bourgain and Milman, which replaces the by a constant. However, there is no known elementary proof of the Bourgain-Milman theorem.
