Understanding the problem

Read the background

In each dimension, every convex body has isotropic constant no greater than that of a simplex, with equality only for simplices.

Why it matters

If correct, resolves the strong isotropic-constant conjecture and identifies the unique extremal bodies in every dimension.

What counts as progress

Do simplices uniquely maximize the isotropic constant in every dimension?
