Let $B^d_2$ denote the unit ball of $\ell_2^d$ and let $T$ be an invertible linear map. Consider the function $$ H(T) := \log M(TB_2^d, B_2^d), $$ which is the packing entropy for $TB_2^d$ by $B_2^d$. **Question:** Is a general, explicit characterization of $H(T)$ available? For instance, the Sudakov minoration yields $$ H(T) \lesssim \bigg(\mathbb{E} \sup_{x \in B_2^d} \langle g, Tx\rangle\bigg)^2 \asymp \mathrm{tr}(T^\ast T). $$ (Here $\lesssim$ indicates inequality up to absolute constants and $\asymp$ denotes equality up to constants, independent of everything.) Of course, this cannot be sharp as $T = I_d$ already shows.
