Abstract

For each (Formula presented.) we construct a measurable subset of the unit ball in (Formula presented.) that does not contain pairs of points at distance 1 and whose volume is greater than (Formula presented.) times the volume of the unit ball. This disproves a conjecture of Larman and Rogers from 1972.
