Title: On symplectic isoperimetry, billiards, and Mahler's conjecture
Location: Schreiber bldg., room 209, Tel-Aviv University


Abstract: We shall show how an isoperimetric conjecture regarding capacities of
convex sets (called Viterbo's conjecture) implies the well known Mahler
conjecture from convexity, regarding the minimizers, among symmetric convex
bodies, of the volume product of a body and its polar. The connection uses
some new results on billiard dynamics, which we shall explain as well.
Based of joint work with Yaron Ostrover and with Roman Karasev.
