Abstract

We give a new characterisation of inner product spaces amongst normed vector spaces in terms of the maximal circumradius of spheres. It turns out that a normed vector space is an inner product space if and only if all spheres are not degenerate, i.e., the maximal circumradius of points on the sphere equals the radius of the sphere.
