Let $V$ be a Banach space where for fixed $n$, $1<n<dim(V)$, all of its $n$-dimensional subspaces are isometric. In 1932, Banach asked if under this hypothesis $V$ is necessarily a Hilbert space. Gromov, in 1967, answered it positively for even $n$ and all $V$. In this paper we give a positive answer for real $V$ and odd $n$ of the form $n=4k+1$, with the possible exception of $n=133.$ Our proof relies on a new characterization of ellipsoids in ${mathbb{R}}^n$, $ngeq 5$, as the only symmetric convex bodies all of whose linear hyperplane sections are linearly equivalent affine bodies of revolution.
We consider a general notion of snowflake of a metric space by composing the distance by a nontrivial concave function. We prove that a snowflake of a metric space $X$ isometrically embeds into some finite-dimensional normed space if and only if $X
Suppose that $E$ and $E$ denote real Banach spaces with dimension at least 2, that $Dsubset E$ and $Dsubset E$ are domains, and that $f: Dto D$ is a homeomorphism. In this paper, we prove the following subinvariance property for the class of uniform
Let $D$ denote the distance matrix for an $n+1$ point metric space $(X,d)$. In the case that $X$ is an unweighted metric tree, the sum of the entries in $D^{-1}$ is always equal to $2/n$. Such trees can be considered as affinely independent subsets o
We discuss a new pseudometric on the space of all norms on a finite-dimensional vector space (or free module) $mathbb{F}^k$, with $mathbb{F}$ the real, complex, or quaternion numbers. This metric arises from the Lipschitz-equivalence of all norms on
We show that a jammed packing of disks with generic radii, in a generic container, is such that the minimal number of contacts occurs and there is only one dimension of equilibrium stresses. We also point out some connections to packings with differe
