Trade-off between hypervolume and diameter of $d$-dimensional shapes having a hypercubic smallest bounding box

Given any $d$-dimensional shape $X$, let $V(X)$ be its $d$-dimensional volume, and let $\ell(X)$ be the length of the longest line segment connecting two points of $X$. Let $\mathcal{S}_C$ be the set ...
