On the role of convexity in isoperimetry, spectral gap and concentration (Q1022337): Difference between revisions

The author proves that for convex domains in Euclidean space, Cheeger's isoperimetric inequality, spectral gap of the Neumann Laplacian, exponential concentration of Lipschitz functions, and the a-priori weakest requirement that Lipschitz functions have arbitrarily slow uniform tail-decay, are all quantitatively equivalent (to within universal constants, independent of the dimension). As applications, some previously known results on the spectral gap of convex domains are extended.
