On the radius of a set in a Hilbert space
The slicing problem can be reduced to the study of isotropic convex bodies K with , where is the isotropic constant. We study the ψ₂-behaviour of linear functionals on this class of bodies. It is proved that for all θ in a subset U of with measure σ(U) ≥ 1 - exp(-c√n). However, there exist isotropic convex bodies K with uniformly bounded geometric distance from the Euclidean ball, such that . In a different direction, we show that good average ψ₂-behaviour of linear functionals on an isotropic...
The purpose of this paper is to continue the investigations on the homothety of unit balls and isoperimetrices in higher-dimensional Minkowski spaces for the Holmes-Thompson measure and the Busemann measure. Moreover, we show a strong relation between affine isoperimetric inequalities and Minkowski geometry by proving some new related inequalities.
Motivated by a question of Krzysztof Oleszkiewicz we study a notion of weak tail domination of random vectors. We show that if the dominating random variable is sufficiently regular then weak tail domination implies strong tail domination. In particular, a positive answer to Oleszkiewicz's question would follow from the so-called Bernoulli conjecture. We also prove that any unconditional logarithmically concave distribution is strongly dominated by a product symmetric exponential measure.
