Sharper Bounds for the Complex Grothendieck Constant

We show that $1.4<K_G^{\mathbb{C}}<1.404898554746$, where $K_G^{\mathbb{C}}$ is the complex Grothendieck constant. The upper bound improves on Haagerup's bound of $1.40490913\ldots$ from 1987, and the lower bound improves on Davie's bound of $1.33807$ from 1984. The upper bound combines ideas from t
