Abstract

Let KK be a convex body in Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}. Let dn,n1(K) d_{n,n-1}(K) be the smallest possible density of a non-separable lattice of translates of KK. In this paper we prove the estimate d2,1(K)π38d_{2,1}(K)\leq \frac{\pi\sqrt{3}}{8} for KR2K\subset \mathbb{R}^{2}, with equality if and only if KK is an ellipse, which was conjectured by E. Makai. Also we prove the estimate d3,2(K)π43d_{3,2}(K)\leq\frac{\pi}{4\sqrt{3}} for KR3K\subset\mathbb{R}^{3} using projection bodies.
