[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.
