Abstract

We prove that in every finite dimensional normed space, for “most” pairs (x, y) of points in the unit ball, ║x − y║ is more than √2(1 − ε). As a consequence, we obtain a result proved by Bourgain, using QS-decomposition, that guarantees an exponentially large number of points in the unit ball any two of which are separated by more than √2(1 − ε).
