contents For every convex body $K \subset \mathbb R^n$ and $δ\in (0,1)$, the $δ$-convolution body of $K$ is the set of $x \in \mathbb R^n$ for which $\left|K \cap (K+x)\right|_n \geq δ\left|K\right|_n$. We show that for $n=2$ and any $δ\in (0,1)$, ellipsoids do not maximize the volume of the $δ$-convolution body of $K$, when $K$ runs over all convex bodies of a fixed volume. This behavior is somehow unexpected and contradicts the limit case $δ\to 1^-$, which is governed by the Petty projection inequality.
