Suppose that we have the unit Euclidean ball in ${{\mathbb{R}}^{n}}$ and construct new bodies using three operations — linear transformations, closure in the radial metric, and multiplicative summation defined by ${{\left\| x \right\|}_{K+0L}}\,=\,\sqrt{{{\left\| x \right\|}_{K}}{{\left\| x \right\|}_{L}}}$. We prove that in dimension 3 this procedure gives all origin-symmetric convex bodies, while this is no longer true in dimensions 4 and higher. We introduce the concept of embedding of a normed space in ${{L}_{0}}$ that naturally extends the corresponding properties of ${{L}_{P}}$-spaces with $p\,\ne \,0$, and show that the procedure described above gives exactly the unit balls of subspaces of ${{L}_{0}}$ in every dimension. We provide Fourier analytic and geometric characterizations of spaces embedding in ${{L}_{0}}$, and prove several facts confirming the place of ${{L}_{0}}$ in the scale of ${{L}_{P}}$-spaces.
