Pointwise Estimates for Marginals of Convex Bodies
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove a pointwise version of the multi-dimensional central limit theorem for convex bodies. Namely, let μ be an isotropic, log-concave probability measure on Rn. For a typical subspace E ⊂ Rn of dimension nc, consider the probability density of the projection of μ 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.

On Gaussian Marginals of Uniformly Convex Bodies
We show that many uniformly convex bodies have Gaussian marginals in most directions in a strong sense, which takes into account the tails of the distributions. These include uniformly convex bodies with power type 2, and power type p > 2 with some additional type condition. In particular, all unit-balls of subspaces of Lp for 1 < p < ∞ have Gaussian marginals in this strong sense. Using the we...
متن کاملMonge-ampère Measures for Convex Bodies and Bernstein-markov Type Inequalities
We use geometric methods to calculate a formula for the complex Monge-Ampère measure (ddVK) n, for K Rn ⊂ Cn a convex body and VK its Siciak-Zaharjuta extremal function. Bedford and Taylor had computed this for symmetric convex bodies K. We apply this to show that two methods for deriving Bernstein-Markov type inequalities, i.e., pointwise estimates of gradients of polynomials, yield the same r...
متن کاملOptimal Transportation with Capacity Constraints
The classical problem of optimal transportation can be formulated as a linear optimization problem on a convex domain: among all joint measures with fixed marginals find the optimal one, where optimality is measured against a cost function. Here we consider a natural but largely unexplored variant of this problem by imposing a pointwise constraint on the joint (absolutely continuous) measures: ...
متن کاملOn 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, w...
متن کاملGaussian Marginals of Probability Measures with Geometric Symmetries
Let K be a convex body in the Euclidean space Rn, n ≥ 2, equipped with its standard inner product 〈·, ·〉 and Euclidean norm | · |. Consider K as a probability space equipped with its uniform (normalized Lebesgue) measure μ. We are interested in k-dimensional marginals of μ, that is, the push-forward μ◦P−1 E of μ by the orthogonal projection PE onto a k-dimensional subspace E ⊂ Rn. The question ...
