    The abstract states: ``We give diverse coverings of convex sets and sections of convex sets in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) by balls and cylinder sets, and establish volume inequalities which generalize the famous Santalo and inverse Santalo inequalities. The tools which we use are developed from the viewpoint of geometric and functional analysis.'' Perhaps the titles of the 6 sections will better illuminate the contents. 1. Survey of some of the main geometrical results. 2. Geometric quantities and operators between Banach spaces. 3. Inequalities concerning covering numbers. 4. On a theorem of Pisier. 5. Volume inequalities of Santalo type. 6. \(s\)-covering numbers, Gaussian and Rademacher averages. There are 13 theorems, 5 corollaries and 15 bibliographic entries in this substantial paper.
