英文摘要：

Recently, Bo'az Klartag showed that arbitrary convex bodies have Gaussian marginals in most directions. We show that Klartag's quantitative estimates may be improved for many uniformly convex bodies. These include uniformly convex bodies with power type 2, and power type $p>2$ with some additional type condition. In particular, our results apply to all unit-balls of subspaces of quotients of $L_p$ for $1<p<\infty$. The same is true when $L_p$ is replaced by $S_p^m$, the $l_p$-Schatten class space. We also extend our results to arbitrary uniformly convex bodies with power type $p$, for $2 \leq p < 4$. These results are obtained by putting the bodies in (surprisingly) non-isotropic positions and by a new concentration of volume observation for uniformly convex bodies.

Pointwise Estimates for Marginals of Convex Bodies

We prove a pointwise version of the multi-dimensional central limit theorem for convex bodies. Namely, let X be an isotropic random vector in R^n with a log-concave density. For a typical subspace E in R^n of dimension n^c, consider the probability density of the projection of X onto E. We show that the ratio between this probability density and the standard gaussian density in E is very close to 1 in large parts of E. Here c > 0 is a universal constant. This complements a recent result by the second named author, where the total-variation metric between the densities was considered.

A Generalized Central Limit Conjecture for Convex Bodies

The central limit theorem for convex bodies says that with high probability the marginal of an isotropic log-concave distribution along a random direction is close to a Gaussian, with the quantitative difference determined asymptotically by the Cheeger/Poincare/KLS constant. Here we propose a generalized CLT for marginals along random directions drawn from any isotropic log-concave distribution; namely, for $x,y$ drawn independently from isotropic log-concave densities $p,q$, the random variable $\langle x,y\rangle$ is close to Gaussian. Our main result is that this generalized CLT is quantita…

The centered convex body whose marginals have the heaviest tails

Given any real numbers $1<p<q$, we study the norm ratio (i.e. the ratio between the $q$-norm and the $p$-norm) of marginals of centered convex bodies. We first show that some marginal of the simplex maximizes said ratio in the class of $n$-dimensional centered convex bodies. We then pass to the dimension independent (i.e. log-concave) case where we find a 1-parameter family of random variables in which the maximum ratio must be attained, and find the exact maximizer of the ratio when $p=2$ and $q$ is even. In addition, we find another interesting maximization property of marginals of the simpl…

On volume distribution in 2-convex bodies

We consider convex sets whose modulus of convexity is uniformly quadratic. First, we observe several interesting relations between different positions of such ``2-convex'' bodies; in particular, the isotropic position is a finite volume-ratio position for these bodies. Second, we prove that high dimensional 2-convex bodies posses one-dimensional marginals that are approximately Gaussian. Third, we improve for 1<p<=2 some bounds on the isotropic constant of quotients of subspaces of L_p and S_p^m, the Schatten Class space.

On the approximation of a polytope by its dual $L_{p}$-centroid bodies

We show that the rate of convergence on the approximation of volumes of a convex symmetric polytope P in R^n by its dual L_{p$-centroid bodies is independent of the geometry of P. In particular we show that if P has volume 1, lim_{p\rightarrow \infty} \frac{p}{\log{p}} (\frac{|Z_{p}^{\circ}(P)|}{|P^{\circ}|} -1) = n^{2}. We provide an application to the approximation of polytopes by uniformly convex sets.

On the Gaussian behavior of marginals and the mean width of random polytopes

We show that the expected value of the mean width of a random polytope generated by $N$ random vectors ($n\leq N\leq e^{\sqrt n}$) uniformly distributed in an isotropic convex body in $\R^n$ is of the order $\sqrt{\log N} L_K$. This completes a result of Dafnis, Giannopoulos and Tsolomitis. We also prove some results in connection with the 1-dimensional marginals of the uniform probability measure on an isotropic convex body, extending the interval in which the average of the distribution functions of those marginals behaves in a sub- or supergaussian way.

Extremal Kaehler-Einstein metric for two-dimensional convex bodies

Given a convex body $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with the barycenter at the origin we consider the corresponding K{ä}hler-Einstein equation $e^{-Φ} = \det D^2 Φ$. If $K$ is a simplex, then the Ricci tensor of the Hessian metric $D^2 Φ$ is constant and equals $\frac{n-1}{4(n+1)}$. We conjecture that the Ricci tensor of $D^2 Φ$ for arbitrary $K$ is uniformly bounded by $\frac{n-1}{4(n+1)}$ and verify this conjecture in the two-dimensional case. The general case remains open.

Duality of metric entropy

For two convex bodies K and T in $R^n$, the covering number of K by T, denoted N(K,T), is defined as the minimal number of translates of T needed to cover K. Let us denote by $K^o$ the polar body of K and by D the euclidean unit ball in $R^n$. We prove that the two functions of t, N(K, tD) and N(D, tK^o), are equivalent in the appropriate sense, uniformly over symmetric convex bodies K in $R^n$ and over positive integers n. In particular, this verifies the duality conjecture for entropy numbers of linear operators, posed by Pietsch in 1972, in the central case when either the domain or the ran…

Crack initiation in elastic bodies

In this paper we study the crack initiation in a hyper-elastic body governed by a Griffith's type energy. We prove that, during a load process through a time dependent boundary datum of the type $t \to t g(x)$ and in absence of strong singularities (this is the case of homogeneous isotropic materials) the crack initiation is brutal, i.e., a big crack appears after a positive time $t_i>0$. On the contrary, in presence of a point $x$ of strong singularity, a crack will depart from $x$ at the initial time of loading and with zero velocity. We prove these facts (largely expected by the experts of …
