[Banach] Abstract of a paper by Shiri Artstein, Vitali D. Milman and Yaron Ostrover

This is an announcement for the paper "The M-ellipsoid, symplectic
capacities and volume" by Shiri Artstein, Vitali D. Milman and Yaron
Ostrover.


Abstract: In this work we bring together tools and ideology from
two different fields, Symplectic Geometry and Asymptotic Geometric
Analysis, to arrive at some new results. Our main result is a
dimension-independent bound for the symplectic capacity of a convex
body by its volume radius.
