Abstract

Let V be a two-dimensional real symmetric space with unit ball having 8n extreme points. Let λ(V) denote the absolute projection constant of V. We show that λ(V)λ(Vn) where Vn is the space whose ball is a regular 8n-polygon. Also we reprove a result of [1] and [5] which states that 4π=λ(l(2))λ(V) for any two-dimensional real symmetric space V.

Keywords
