We estimate the volume ratio of lpn ~n lrn, 1 ~ p, r ~ ~, unitary operator ideals and symmetric spaces. We also study the structure of the n-dimensional James pace. We consider the volume of unit balls in finite dimensional Banach spaces and an invariant of such spaces, the volume ratio. We start with giving estimations for the volume of unit balls. In particular, for spaces with 1-unconditional bases we get simple formulas. These formulas are extended in a natural way to spaces without 1-unconditional bases. Then, we estimate the volume ratio of 1-symmetric spaces and of lpn ~03C0 lrn, 1 p, r ~ oo, a problem posed in [11]. We get in an easy way estimations for the volume ratio of the n-dimensional James space Jn. We also show that the Banach-Mazur distance of Jn and 1; is at most of the order log n and that the ké-constant of Jn [8] is uniformly bounded. Other aspects concerning volumes of unit balls are considered in [12]. 0. Preliminaries In this paper we estimate volumes of unit balls of the space Rn provided with various norms. The measure is the usual Lebesgue measure. Since we always consider the Rn it is also clear what we understand by the natural identity between two spaces. We denote the unit ball of a Banach space E by BE and the unit sphere in 1; by Sn-1. The volume ratio of a space E is given by 0010-437X/82090393-15$00.20/0 394 where e is an ellipsoid. By Xn we denote the volumes of the unit balls in 1;. The Banach-Mazur distance of two Banach spaces E and F is defined by is isomorphism} One has By CE we understand the unitary operator ideal with the norm induced by the symmetric space E. If E = 1P we write Cp. The 8-tensor product is the tensor product with the smallest tensor norm and the n-tensor product that with the biggest tensor norm. We say that {ei}ni=1 is a C-unconditional basis of E if for all ai E R, ei = + 1, i = 1,..., n, and that it is C-symmetric if for all a; E R, gi = ± 1, i = 1,..., n and all permutations n of ( 1 , ... , n) . The dual basis is denoted by {e*i}ni=1. If the indices are too awkward we write e(i) instead of ei. The n-dimensional James space is Rn with the norm where the sup is taken over all strictly increasing sequences. The volume of the Euclidean unit ball is 395 1. Basic estimâtes for volumes of unit balls We introduce here estimates for the volumes of unit balls. We start with the case of E having an unconditional basis. It is possible to estimate the volume in terms of certain vectors. The existence of these vectors were proved in [4], [7]. LEMMA 1.1: Let {ei}ni=1 be an 1-unconditional basis of E. Then there is a sequence {si}ni=1 of real numbers such that LEMMA 1.2: Let {ei}ni=1 be an 1-unconditional basis of E. For every sequence si, ti, i = 1,..., n such that siti = 1 /n and
