A note on Mahler's conjecture

Abstract

Let KK be a convex body in Rn\mathbb{R}^n with Santal\'o point at 0\. We show that if KK has a point on the boundary with positive generalized Gau{\ss} curvature, then the volume product KK|K| |K^\circ| is not minimal. This means that a body with minimal volume product has Gau{\ss} curvature equal to 0 almost everywhere and thus suggests strongly that a minimal body is a polytope.
