Equilateral dimension of the planar Banach--Mazur compactum

Metric Geometry 2026-01-12 v2 Functional Analysis

Abstract

We prove that there are arbitrarily large equilateral sets of planar and symmetric convex bodies in the Banach--Mazur distance. The order of the size of these dd-equilateral sets asymptotically matches the bounds of the size of maximum-size dd-separated sets (determined by Bronstein in 1978), showing that our construction is essentially optimal.
