Abstract

Let K be a convex body in formula with Santaló point at 0. We show that if K has a point on the boundary with positive generalized Gauß curvature, then the volume product |K||K| is not minimal. This means that a body with minimal volume product has a Gauß curvature equal to 0 almost everywhere and thus suggests strongly that a minimal body is a polytope.
