The strong isotropic constant conjecture: simplices maximize the isotropic constant

Claims Theorem 1.1: for every n≥1n\ge1 and every convex body K⊂RnK\subset\mathbb R^n, LK≤(n!)1/n/((n+1)(n+1)/(2n)n+2)L_K\le(n!)^{1/n}/((n+1)^{(n+1)/(2n)}\sqrt{n+2}), with equality if and only if KK is a simplex. Also claims the sharp entropy bound h(f)≥m+12log⁡det⁡Cov(f)h(f)\ge m+\tfrac12\log\det\mathrm{Cov}(f) for every log-concave density on Rm\mathbb R^m, with equality exactly for affine images of products of one-sided exponentials, proved via Gaussian-to-target Brenier transport. Via Klartag (2018) it yields the non-symmetric Mahler inequality ∣K∣∣K∘∣≥(n+1)n+1/(n!)2|K||K^\circ|\ge(n+1)^{n+1}/(n!)^2, already listed from a separate manuscript of the same release. It gives no new information on the symmetric slicing constant or on symmetric Mahler.
