We fix $n = 2m \geqslant 4$. Let $r > 0$ such that there exists $u \in \mathrm { SL } \left( \mathbb { R } ^ { 2 m } \right)$ satisfying $u \left( B ^ { 2 m } ( 1 ) \right) \subset B ^ { 2 m } ( r )$, and every complex eigenvalue $\lambda$ of the matrix $U$ of $u$ satisfies $|\lambda| \leq r$. Deduce that $1 \leqslant r$.
