Abstract

We prove that there exist constants C>0 and 0 < λ < 1 so that for all convex bodies K in n with non-empty interior and all integers k so that 1 ≤ k ≤ λn/ln(n+1), there exists a k-dimensional affine subspace Y of n satisfying d ( Y K , B 2 k ) C ( 1 + ( k / l n ( n / ( k l n ( n + 1 ) ) ) ) . This formulation of Dvoretzky’s theorem for large dimensional sections is a generalization with a new proof of the result due to Milman and Schechtman for centrally symmetric convex bodies. A sharper estimate holds for the n-dimensional simplex.
