Let J(n) be the hyperspace of all centrally symmetric compact convex bodies , n ≥ 2, for which the ordinary Euclidean unit ball is the ellipsoid of maximal volume contained in A (the John ellipsoid). Let be the complement of the unique O(n)-fixed point in J(n). We prove that: (1) the Banach-Mazur compactum BM(n) is homeomorphic to the orbit space J(n)/O(n) of the natural action of the orthogonal group O(n) on J(n); (2) J(n) is an O(n)-AR; (3) is an Eilenberg-MacLane space ; (4)...
