Abstract

A certain inequality conjectured by Vershynin is studied. It is proved that for any symmetric convex body K ⊆ ℝⁿ with inradius w and γₙ(K) ≤ 1/2 we have γ ( s K ) ( 2 s ) w ² / 4 γ ( K ) for any s ∈ [0,1], where γₙ is the standard Gaussian probability measure. Some natural corollaries are deduced. Another conjecture of Vershynin is proved to be false.

It is proved that for any symmetric convex body K ⊆ ℝⁿ with inradius w and γₙ(K) ≤ 1/2 we have $γₙ(sK) ≤ (2s)^{w²/4}γₙ(K)$ for any s ∈ [0,1], where γₙ is the standard Gaussian probability measure. Some natural corollaries are deduced. Another conjecture of Vershynin is proved to be false.
